Get ready for  #1 cooking magazine in the World! Dig into 75 or more delicious home-style recipes, including 32 handy "clip-out" recipes in every issue.

Taste of Home is at heart a friendly exchange of authentic family-favorite recipes handed down over generations and shared among loved ones. Taste of Home recipes are practical because they're from home cooks—not gourmet chefs—and feature familiar, everyday ingredients; clear, beautiful photos; and easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions.

And because each is individually tested by culinary experts in our Test Kitchens, Taste of Home recipes are reliable; we guarantee that you can count on success each time you prepare one.

But more than simply offering recipes, Taste of Home fosters a strong and loyal sense of community among like-minded home cooks of all ages, who share food preparation secrets and tips, humorous and heartwarming anecdotes, and glimpses into their kitchens, their homes and their lives.

Taste of Home is the world's leading food media brand; we publish four magazines, over 40 special interest recipe collections for sale at retail and grocery stores each year, dozens of cookbooks—hardback and spiral bound, and we host over 300 local cooking schools around the country each year.

Taste of Home is part of the Reader's Digest Food Affinity, the first and only media community designed to unify the voices and experience of everyday cooks and home entertainers.

Cupcakes caused a sweet commotion around here! It all started with readers’ terrific response to our national recipe contest, confirming that cupcakes are the treat of choice for so many occasions.

Busy baking for the judging, the TOHTest Kitchen used:
• 108-1/2 cups of sugar (granulated, brown and confectioners’)
• 63 cups of flour
• 21 cups of chocolate (chips, baking cocoa and baking chocolate)
• 10 pounds of butter
• 7-1/2 dozen eggs.

There were so many fabulous cupcakes that our judges chose the delectable dozen in the Clip & Keep section (p. 25) and then selected eight more runner-up recipes that you’ll find in our Taste of Home PLUSWeb newsletter. See page 45 to learn how to access those prize-winners,as well as readers’cupcake-decorating tips and more.

Also, cupcakes don’t get much cuter than the critters on pages 44-45.

On a Roll with the Bookmobile

Taste of Home gets a lot of mileage through libraries…particularly in St.Louis County,Missouri.“Your magazine is extremely popular in our bookmobiles,” writes Mary Anne Marjamaa, manager of extension services.“We have the largest fleet of bookmobiles in the country—10 mobile units that visit schools, nursing homes and communities.

“Our staff (above) has many potlucks, with the ‘Bookmobile Bash’ being the biggest.Many Taste of Home recipes have made an appearance at our luncheons.”

Another Mouth-Watering Library Story

National LibraryWeek is April 15-21, so what better time to mention another tasty tie? At the Thorntown (Indiana) Public Library,the Taste of Home Sampler group (below) gathers every other month for a bountiful buffet,says director Karen Niemeyer.“We began with each person providing a dish using a recipe from the current issue,but have since expanded to using any TOH issue,as well as Cooking for 2, Simple & Delicious and Light & Tasty.”
