The ‘Taste of Home’ Cookbook: Best Loved Recipes from Home Cooks Like You

In its all-new Busy Family Edition, this volume offers an updated collection of nearly 1400 recipes from America’s home cooks, readers of the eponymous cooking magazine. Recipes include everyday family fare as well as holiday meals, all with a no-nonsense, quick-and-easy focus for comforting home-cooked dishes. A chapter devoted to Dinner in 30 minutes features over 100 recipes, including five-ingredient recipes and tips for preparation ease. Another chapter contains illustrated Kitchen Basics such as food storage, the use of cutlery, and cooking terminology. Twenty-one other chapters cover almost any dish you can imagine: appetizers like chipotle sliders and beverages, meat dishes such as rosemary sirloin tips, poultry, and fish dishes like grilled salmon packets; pasta, sides, sauces and condiments; breads both quick and traditional; baked confections; candies; and desserts like scrumptious honey-rum grilled bananas. There’s a new vegetarian chapter of meatless dishes featuring a Tuscan-inspired strudel stuffed with tomatoes, mushrooms, and pesto. Guidelines on what to look for when buying ingredients, basic cooking methods, suggested marinades, serving tips, and charts describing classic cuts of beef and grilling times are also included.
