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.

Stretch Your Food Dollar
There’s been plenty of bad news recently about rising food prices. But the good news is that Taste of Home is a valuable, money-saving resource.

Here’s why:
• Cooking and eating at home is budget-friendly.
• “Menu Savers” (on page 20) gives you a thrifty, satisfying meal plus leads you to 10 more super money-saving dishes in this issue.
• TOH recipes always call for practical, easy-to-find, seasonal ingredients that often go on sale.
• See a good buy at the supermarket, but need a recipe to enjoy it? Use the Recipe Search at tasteofhome.com to find a selection! Sign up for a free “Menu$aver” newsletter at tasteofhome.com/menusaver.

Helping the Hungry
Dozens of employees from our company recently participated in a Day of Caring, helping pack food at Milwaukee’s Hunger Task Force.

A special Prop Loft Sale here at our headquarters also benefited this worthy cause. The loft, above Taste of Home’s photo studio, is where we store all of the dinnerware, serving pieces and “stuff” used in the food photos for our magazines and cookbooks.

Some of these items are provided by manufacturers; others are purchased by our set stylists at stores, antiques shops and even yard sales.

We keep adding things—so the loft was bursting at the seams! Our stylists gave it a cleaning and had a “rummage” sale of odds and ends (we often have a setting or two of a pattern), holiday items and more at bargain prices. The $1,000 raised was donated to the Hunger Task Force.

New TOH Cookbook Features “One Dish FourWays”
Look for the fabulous New Revised Edition of The Taste of Home Cookbook, in stores September 9. Better than ever, it has 1,395 tested recipes— more than 400 are new.
