I like the magazine both in paper format and digital. ### 5/5 — Fabulous magazine *2025-09-05, version 7.2.10* Love the recipes, new product showcased. Always look forward to the next issue ### 1/5 — Food & Drink Holliday Edition *2024-11-08, version 7.0.38* Very disappointed in this issue. No sparkle, No excitement in the recipes just lots of adds for very expensive wines and spirits. What happened to family Christmas? ### 1/5 — App display frequently corrupted *2024-04-09, version 7.0.38* app needs to be killed and relaunched to correct. ### 1/5 — The food and drink has lost it!,, *2023-07-20, version 7.0.38* Over past two years the mag has lost its way. I have looked forward as many readers have, to each issue, since the first issue.The resipes have been depleted greatly. The mag should be renamed Drink and Food. Let’s hope we can resume to the past standard.Thank you Roy Bradshaw. ### 5/5 — Food and Drink *2023-04-27, version 7.0.38* I’ve been collecting and trying recipes from this magazine for years… I used to get a new one and curl up on the sofa Sunday morning with a coffee and just enjoy! I’ve tried a few of the drink recipes on special occasions.. Christmas.. new years… summertime on the patio! One time we took all the recipes from your thanksgiving dinner and made them for our thanksgiving.. it was so much fun.. I don’t get to Ontario often, but when I see a new one out I tell my girls who both live there that it’s time!! I still prefer the paper copy! Keep it up.. please!! ### 1/5 — Only works in portrait mode, unreadable on an iPad *2022-12-20, version 7.0.38* Useless on an iPad because it works only in portrait mode. I am unwilling to disconnect the keyboard to be able to see this magazine. other publications get it right and re-format content to suit the device layout. Why can’t this one? ### 5/5 — Food & Drink *2022-11-20, version 6.0.0* Ce serait bien si la revue en ligne était disponible en français. ### 5/5 — Consistently great recipes *2022-06-27, version 6.0.0* I have piles of Food&Drink mags that I have collected since moving to Ontario 20myrs ago--every issue has at least one keeper recipe (some many more), and I revisit them seasonally. The ingredients can be harder to source in smaller towns (certainly at the cottage I don't have the same access to international ingredients), but in the city, I love trying new things. ### 5/5 — The best magazine *2022-06-13, version 6.0.0* Over the years I have made so many great recipes for dinner parties. The magazine is great quality paper. The articles and pictures are wonderfully presented. ## Frequently asked questions about LCBO Food & Drink Magazine ### What is the LCBO Food & Drink Magazine app?
