Edited by 1000 Cooks...and Has No Ads!
I first came across Taste of Home Magazine about 10 years ago. Some friends of mine were quite the experimental couple who loved to try out new recipes. As the recipient of tasty appetizers, dips, and desserts, I asked them for the recipes. It was then that they shared this magazine with me...and I've been a subscriber ever since!

Each magazine features several special features, as well as mainstay departments such as Potluck Pleasers, My Mom's Best Meal, Getting in the Theme of Things, and Super Snacks and Appetizers. Arguably the best part of this magazine is their clip-and-keep section of recipes which feature color photos of the dish. Just cut out the recipe, and ouila! it's ready for your recipe box.

Other information-packed sections include Ask Our Food Editor, Touring Country Kitchens, Ted's Toothpick Contest, Lively Leftovers, and more. Each issue also features a recipe contest to win cold, hard cash.

Some of the great recipes that are in the most recent issue include:

Swiss-Stuffed Porkchops
Open-Faced Turkey Tacos
Spinach Shrimp Fettuccine
Coffee 'n' Cream Brownies
Cucumber Potato Salad
Asparagus Chicken Crepes
Hearty Jambalaya
Barvarian Strawberry Pie

and many more. Besides being tasty dishes, one of the great things about the recipes in Taste of Home is that they don't call for some exotic ingredients. Rather, they feature ingredients that can be found in any department store...even if you live in an out-of-the-way rural area!

Some of the recipes aren't exactly "quick", which is why I give it four stars. There are certainly quite a few quick and easy recipes, but there are also some that take quite a bit of prep work. If you're looking for a magazine with mostly quick recipes, try their sister publication, Quick Cooking (I subscribe to that one, as well...and actually like it better.)

Taste of Home has NO ads (amazing!), so it's nice that the magazine is chock full of recipes and information--not fillers and ads. This magazine also is very "country", so if you're looking for something trendy and cosmopolitan, this mag may not be for you. But if you like down-home country cookin', you'll likely love this magazine.

What a TERRIBLE change!
I recently resubscribed to this magazine and looked forward to getting the same country-style, down-home, appealing and comforting publication I'd relaxed and enjoyed for years. I could spend whole afternoons browsing the delightful pages of a Taste of Home...even if I didn't cook a thing, it was a treasure to read...it just felt GOOD and warm and fuzzy. Plus, I have NEVER made a bad recipe out of a Taste of Home. In other words, it was a simple pleasure.

How AWFUL it was to get my magazines and find glossy, corporate, plastic-y junk with few recipes. Those that were there had bad formatting and little appeal. Not just ads, but LOTS of ads (if we don't know how to make Jello Jigglers by now, believe me, it's because we didn't want to.) I could grasp it if the ads were in ADDITION to the content we liked, but that was not the case. It just has a totally different FEEL. It's not special anymore. The editors...well, if we have to explain, I guess they wouldn't understand. I do hope they understand a little better next year when we hang on to our money, let our subscriptions lapse, and bid a sad goodbye to the adorable magazine that was Taste of Home.

Good, Old-Fashioned Country Cooking!
I love this magazine and in each issue, I usually find one or two recipes that my friends and family will be asking for again and again! Each issue is made up of recipes contributed by cooks from all over the country, so you know a couple of things right away: 1) the recipes are doable by ordinary folks in ordinary kitchens using utensils and ingredients most people have readily at hand, and 2) this is some good cooking, because these are family recipes that in many cases have been handed down across the generations. Even though most of these recipes are made entirely from scratch (even the cakes!), they are still remarkably easy to do (and I say that as a confirmed fumblefingers in the kitchen! If I can cook these receipes, anyone can!) This is not the kind of fancy pants cooking you're going to encounter in many of the more high-end cooking magazines, this is American (or Canadian) food prepared the way most people cook in their homes. And it makes for some good eating! Each issue is built around a theme or two, usually recipes that use a featured ingredient announced in the previous months' issues, like strawberries or chicken. But there are lots of other recipes that feature the full range of dishes, from breakfast to dinner, to budget cooking and grilling, to late night snacks and children's parties. In every issue there is also usually a section that focuses on healthy foods and lists the nutritional content of the featured dishes. There are also dozens of handy kitchen and cooking tips in each issue, I have learned things I never would have thought of doing and it has made my cooking life so much easier. And the best part? No ads! Taste of Home is like belonging to a recipe club that sends you a beautiful, glossy, picture-packed magazine very month! If you like home cooking, get this magazine, you'll love it!
