It’s old news by now that the Magazine of Good Living will publish its last issue in November. The stalwart that began its life in the most unlikely climate (the U.S. on the verge of entering WWII) buys the farm during a little old recession in 2010. But the reasons for its demise are more complicated than the economic climate, to be sure, and people are deconstructing it all over town (like Cook’s Illustrated editor Chris Kimball). But those hungering for Gourmet gestalt need not mourn a complete loss.  The magazine’s near-erstwhile editor, Ruth Reichl is hosting “Gourmet’s Adventures with Ruth” on PBS where she takes viewers around the world exploring food, farms, cooking techniques, etc. with a fortunate slate of celebrities.
