Cooking with Eowyn, interactive edition

Okay, flist, I need your advice. Anyone out there who can recommend a good cooking magazine? I know there are probably tons, but not having read any of them, I'm not sure which would be a good one to get my aunt for Christmas. She enjoys cooking, and is fairly experienced, but has all the cookbooks and kitcheny things a person could possibly want, so I thought maybe a magazine subscription would be something a little different. She tends toward food with French and Indian influences, and is occasionally too experimental for the rest of the family's taste (like the curry turkey from a few Thanksgivings ago). In addition to the actual food preparation, she's into the creative, Martha Stewarty stuff like creating party favors for all the guests.

So, any suggestions?

Cook's Illustated is pretty good. At times it can seem over the top but there are some really good recipes... mostly talks about like how to do stuff right... If you want a good recipe for lower cal stuff I love Cooking Light. My grandmother gets it and I use the cookie recipies almost all the time.. also one of my best friends a veggie so if I wanna make dinner for us I use it. hmm what else? I'm kind of out of ideas... try googling a French (in english! unless she understands french.. I can sort of get by) Or Indian Magazine. there are so many mag's out there that specilize so I'm sure you'll find one!
