I recently received the new Taste of Home Best Loved Recipes Cookbook before its available in stores (release date is September 13, 2012)
It’s possibly the last cookbook you’ll need for a while because it has 1,485 recipes in it and is 985 pages.
A light read.
This hard-bound collection commemorates 20 years of the best submitted recipes. It’s filled with mouth-watering favorites that will be sure to bring families together again for a new experience at the dinner table, and to enjoy a weekly meal, a special holiday or occasion.
Life is a collection of moments and Taste of Home is all about making those moments special and memorable. Each recipe has a very personal story of what it has meant to those who submitted it and their families.
Each recipe has been evaluated and selected by the Taste of Home test kitchen as the best of the best and can be recreated in your kitchen with readily accessible ingredients.
Taste of Home is a go-to resource for the holidays and any time of the year for information on food, cooking and entertaining. Each year, thousands of great home cooks from across the United States and Canada submit more than 40,000 recipes, of which 3,000 are published in Taste of Home magazines and online, making Taste of Home one of the largest and most successful practitioners of user generated content.

Favorite cookbook is a really old one…the electric company used to hand out a holiday cookie book every year. I have my grandma’s collection from the ’50s!
I really enjoy all three of Alton Brown’s “Good Eats” cookbooks and use them often. The combo of cooking science and art (and humor!) make using them fun, plus I’ve had great success with most every recipe I’ve tried.
I love making my mom’s apricot chicken recipe. It’s definitely a go-to dish around here.
I’m an email subscriber.
I still LOVE cookbooks, andlike you, I read them cover to cover like a novel. There’s nothing better. Of course I always end up googling recipes because I forget which book they were in, but I hope printed books never die. I dont know why I just love them so!
