Taste of Home Cooking School finally has it’s own cookbook!  The Taste of Home Cooking School Cookbook, available at retailers now, is the companion to Americas wildly popular cooking school tradition, attended by nearly 5 million people over the last 20 years. I am reaching out to offer you a copy for review or feature.

This comprehensive cookbook, available in both print and ebook, brings the best of these sought after Cooking School lessons into your very own home for the very first time. The Taste of Home Cooking School Cookbook is packed with friendly guidance and savvy advice for anyone who takes the time to cook for their family.

Whatever your skill level in the kitchen, this instructional cookbook features more than 400 easy-to-follow recipes complete with nutrition facts, which have been expertly tested and selected by Taste of Homethe number one food and entertaining magazine, read by more than 16 million. Plus, the unique Cheat It icon indicates especially low effort recipes that offer big rewards!

I was so excited to try out the Taste of Home Cooking School Cookbook!  For as long as I can remember I have had a subscription to at least one of the many Taste of Home magazines.  Their recipes are not only delicious, but easy to follow and put together.  This new book is no different!  I love the illustrations that show you, step-by-step how to put together each recipe.  I also like the variety of recipes.  They have everything from desserts and drinks to appetizers and main dishes.  Most of the recipes are simple and easy to prepare but there are also some that are a little more challenging.  On days that I have a lot of time on my hands, and the kids are cooperating, I like to tackle those.  They are always worth the time and effort because they end up being amazing!  On days when we are running around like crazy trying to fit everything in, I like to have something prepared in my slow cooker.  If I don’t even have time for that, I find the recipes with the “cheat it” icon.  They have short cuts like using cans of soup or other items you might already have in your pantry.  I absolutely love this book and would recommend it to anyone…the mastered chef, or the stay-at-home mom trying to find something quick and delicious!

The Taste of Home Cooking School Cookbook can be purchased on Amazon and retails for $17.99
