 Home Cooking with Creative Flair April 20, 2005

Imagine making a Beehive Cake or a Honey-Citrus Iced Tea. When looking through this magazine you need a good cup of tea and a pair of scissors. You will be cutting out a lot of recipes! In fact, I'm sitting here cutting out recipes in between typing. There are 16 pages of recipes in a "card" format.
The Favorite Meal section and Cooking for One or Two is always of interest. It shows you how to put an entire meal together and all the recipes are included.
There is also a section where you can view enviable country kitchens. Then you can learn how to make ordinary foods extraordinary. Add curry powder to chicken salad or add brewed coffee to cookie dough.
The "Men Who Run the Range" section is a series featuring men who love to cook and then you can also find out what people are eating in various states across the country. These are ideas and recipes from real cooks across America.
One time I looked in the "Does Anyone Have...?" section and found a note about a woman who was looking for specific items. After sending her a small box, she then reciprocated and sent me the most beautiful framed pressed flowers. It is a fun section where you can read about recipes people are looking for and if you have the recipe, there is an address where you can mail the item. I recently learned how to make rosemary crackers and someone is looking for a recipe for various crackers.
This magazine also has info on cooking schools all over the country. You could also be a Field Editor and share your recipes, cooking tips and other ideas with the home-office staff. You could literally end up in this magazine!
Some of the delicious recipes I've been clipping from this magazine include:
Grilled Sirloin Steak
Crispy Fried Chicken
Herbed Seafood Skewers
Chicken with Rosemary
Vegetable Cheese Tortellini
Grilled Turkey Burgers
Beehive Cake
Honey Citrus Iced Tea
Tonight I made a chicken dish with homemade stuffing and a mushroom gravy that my husband really loved. I think this magazine inspires me to cook more and I have never read this magazine without tearing out pages galore. Now I'm dreaming about the Pear Crisp with Lemon Sauce and the Raspberry Cheesecake Pie.

 Publication needs customer service February 2, 2005

I have received this magazine from it's start and have always found it to be full of great recipies, however, the company that produces this magazine has horrible customer service. I have battled with them for over a year about a billing mistake on their part and they still have yet to make it right. I have cancelled all subscriptions with them and refuse to do business with them any longer. If you subscribe be very cautious about ordering any books from them!
Best cooking magazine for the everyday chef August 22, 2004

I have been receiving this magazine for over two years and of all the magazines that I receive this one is my favorite. I just wish it came out monthly. The recipes presented in this magazine are really tried and true recipes. I have had great success from most of the recipes presented. Although this is a bi-monthly magazine it is well worth the wait.
Good, Old-Fashioned Country Cooking! July 30, 2004

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!
