Summary: Good for a laugh, but please don't rely on it for dinner!
Comment: Both of my grandmothers subscribed to this magazine for years, and my mother-in-law has on multiple occasions purchased their "best of" cookbooks for me or offered to lend me past issues. There are a few decent recipes included, but any publication that sees fit to present recipes involving tater tots and Velveeta cheese as ingredients makes me wonder what sort of prescription drugs their editors have been abusing. The one bright spot in the publication are the hilarious, over-the-top write-ups for each recipe. If you're looking for a new drinking game, keep an eye out for the number of times the word "scrumptious" is used in each issue.
I'd gladly put up with the addition of any number of advertisements in exchange for recipes that won't be the laughingstock of every community potluck. Cooks Illustrated is a far better choice in my opinion, and I would recommend Paula Deen or Alton Brown to anybody who's interested in actual cooking instead of merely assembling wretched ingredients.

Summary: The Magazine has changed!
Comment: I won't repeat the information printed in the reviews written in 2008, but those reviews are worth reading. I subscribed to this magazine in 1993 and I thought that I would always be a subscriber. I was wrong. This year I let my subscription end because the changes that the magazine has made has been, in my opinion, awful. It is now a totally different magazine than it was in 1993. Right now, as I see it, its only strength is some visual-you can get ideas for cake decorating etc.(However, I find most of the new layout unappealing.) If you can, get old back issues-I'm glad I saved mine. I find the new issues, from 2008, very unappealing. I miss the old magazine and I wish the editors would change the magazine back to what it once was.

Summary: Should be named White Trash Cooking
Comment: I received this magazine as a gift unfortunately. It is more for the cool whip and gravy packet crowd I guess. If that's your thing then go for it. I will have to pass on this one though.

Summary: Change Isn't Always for the Best
Comment: I have subscribed to "Taste of Home" since shortly after its debut. I loved the magazine and looked forward to every issue. However, shortly after I renewed my last subscription to what was promoted as being an advertising-free publication, advertisements started appearing in the issues. Also, the look and feel changed. It used to have a "homey" look, down-to-earth recipes, and included features about the contributers. It was also formerly printed on durable high quality glossy paper, which was nice since many readers kept these magazines for future reference.
Now the magazine has a generic look, and the paper is thin and flimsy like what is used in "Readers Digest." Upon investigating what happened to my beloved magazine, I discovered that Readers Digest purchased the magazine around the time these changes began. I have written to the new publisher twice to complain that I was promised a magazine without advertising at the time I purchased my subscription, and to request they consider returning the magazine to its former quality. Neither time have I received any reply whatsoever from the publisher. In the interim my subscription has lapsed. It is very sad to me that the formula that made "TOH" so popular that it was the top selling cooking magazine has been discarded - leaving behind a cheapened shadow of what it once was. As a result I no longer subscribe to it. I am looking for a quality cooking magazine to replace "TOH." I subscribe to "Cooks" and I am considering their sister publication "Cook's Country." If Amazon readers have other good recommendations I would be very grateful.
