• Cons: Not the same magazine

What happened to Taste Of Home as it was a few years back--no ads, nice down home recipes. I do not care for this new format. Please go back to the old format, Taste Of Home. If this format continues I may have to cancel my subscription.

• Pros: Great company
• Cons: Dislike the new format, Too many ads, left out the good things

I was one of the first subscribers of Taste Of Home and recommended this magazine to everyone. I also bought each yearly hard-back cookbook and bought subscriptions as gifts. I find the format very frustrating, and miss the neat hometown cook articles, as well as the other articles that have been removed. I would love to see the old magazine come back. I will not recommend the magazine as highly to others. I noticed the positive feedback was dated before the new format came out.

• Pros: Great Recipes, really the best
• Cons: Crappy new ad format

I have been a Taste Of Home subscriber for 10 years probably now. I am an excellent cook and have enjoyed success with many of their very reliable recipes. Due to recent financial problems in the world though, they have changed their format and started with all these cheesy horrible ads. It's terrible--really terrible. I have canceled my LONG-time subscription and am heartbroken over the changes they made. Shame on them for succumbing to this. Make the magazine shorter and more concise, don't let the money makers make the decisions. Shame to Taste of Home.

• Pros: Receipes are great.

I do not like the new Taste of Home format. The Old format was so much better. What happened to it?

• Pros: The ONLY good thing about this magazine now is that they organize the recipe
• Cons: Everything. Too many ads, No more down home country cooks, no more fun anticdotes, no more realistic kitchen remodels, no more fun themes, no more clip and keep recipe section... the list goes on and on.

Taste Of Home used to be my favorite cooking magazine. I used to look forward to getting the new edition every couple of months. Now, it's just like any other woman's magazine in the store. From now on, I'll be buying the little Pillsbury cooking magazines instead and I will definitely NOT be renewing my subscription!
