MONTREAL, June 10, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - It's official! Ricardo Media is launching an English edition of its blockbuster magazine this September!
"A national magazine was our dream from day one," explains celebrity chef Ricardo, owner and the man behind the brand. "We waited for our company and our team to be ready to go nationwide and the time has come."
Packed with delicious recipes that will please foodies as well as beginners, plus tips and tricks to succeed with every recipe, the magazine promises to be a treasure you'll always want to keep. "With a minimum of 50 original recipes per issue, our magazine can be easily compared to a cookbook," says Brigitte Coutu, President of Ricardo Media.
The question everyone asks: Will the English edition be a translation of the French edition? "No it won't," confirms Marie-José Desmarais, Publisher and Director of International Development. "Of course, our recipes work in both languages but we have also teamed up with A-list contributors from across the country to provide quality content that will appeal to Canadians nationwide."
The first issue will hit newsstands September 15. Those who subscribe now at ricardocuisine.com will receive a unique bonus collector's edition.
"This magazine is the fulfilment of a promise," says Ricardo, "that we made when we launched our French edition 12 years ago: to help Canadians learn more about food, to save them time, money and effort, and to give them the opportunity to gather with family and friends around a great meal."
The English edition of Ricardo magazine will be published three times in 2014 and six in 2015 with a coast-to-coast distribution at major retailers.
