Anybody read Victoria Magazine? I started reading it in the late 90's as a teenager and still have all those copies.
I still buy back issues at thrift stores.
They quit publishing for a while and just started back up last year; I guess I need to subscribe again!
I was sorting through all may magazines today and came across them and started looking through them....... *sigh*. Victoria inspires me.

I do! I'm an addict for the mag. When fall comes my tub full of them comes out and I spent the whole winter going back through them one at a time. I donate my old mags to the local nursing home and one day I took a stack of different one's there and embarrassingly I had to go through the stack and pull out the Victoria and return them home to their tub. Well I tried!! LOL

I subscribed from a teen till they discontinued too. I have written them many many times, and get no answer at all back.
I lost all my copies when I married and moved! UHG!
Can you look in the fall/winter issues for a recipe for baking Turkey with apple wine.....in that same issue is a recipe for a soup, either squash or sweet potato.
I want both of them, if you could at all pass those recipes to me! They were probably put out in the early 90's.

Ok I can not believe this, literally just now found a note......my mom sent me a box of stuff from home through a girl friend who came to visit....ok in these notes, it says the recipes I am looking for (it noted the turkey recipe, so that's how I got this info!), is in the November 95 issue! I sure hope I am remembering right about there being a soup recipe in there!
If I remember right the soup had saffron in it!

I've been subscribing for years and when they stopped I was heartbroken. I re-upped as soon as they began publishing again. I can't part with my old copies either. I've tried too. Just have to save them - they're so inspiring.

I am a victoria addict also. I have almost every copy. I like the old ones best. The new magazines are good, but can't compare with the first ten years or so. Heather are you saying you still need the recipes? If you do I will look for them tonight. Melody, we must be two peas in a pod. I look at my old issues over an over and always find something new. They are my soak in the hot tub reading material of choice. I love MJ too, but the victoria just relaxes me.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

| Another Victoria subscriber here! I just love the details of a bygone era. I love the fall issue the best, but they are all good. |

I LOVE Victoria too! I did subscribe when it got re-established but I don't like it as much. It seems to have lost it's charm. I have some older issues that I saved and once in awhile go to e-bay and bid on full years :)
Heather, I think I have that issue. If I do I will post the recipe for you :)

I am looking at my Nov.95 issue and it has a recipe for Cider-Basted Turkey with Apple-Wine Gravy. Is the one?

It has lots of pictures. Yummy! I have the Roasted Pumbking recipe, but the page that it is pictured on is missing. How did that happen? I am so careful with my Victoria magazines. I will post both recipes later today. They are a little lenthy, so it will take a few minutes to get them on here. Oh, my the other recipes look so good too. The pecan rum pie is calling my name..... rather loudly.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

I too have been enamored with Victoria Magazine and have been a subscriber since the late 80's.
Needless to say I was heart broken when they ceased publication & extatic when they resumed publication.
While it doesn't have the same qualities as the origional magazine had, it is still very delightful to read. I call it my sofa, blankie, cuppa tea & cookies magazine.
I loved the photography of Tosci Otsaki, one of V.M. best photographers(in my opinion). alas Tosci is not with the new version of V.M.
I also noticed that they feature more of a British/Canadian flair then the eariler magazine.
It is still a lovey and well put together magazine. Way more superior than most magazine or should I say
'ad-azines' who have more ad's then articles.
I only have a few favorites that I subscribe to, MJF, V.M., Living the Country Life, Cowboys & Indians and soon to be Horse & Rider...I should get through this Washington Winter very well this year, with my mags, craft room & tea, oh and a stash of my favorite chocolate-chocolate chip cookies....lol!
