I cannot speak for this particular cookbook, but I love Taste of Home recipes. The recipes are tested before published, and I have liked every, except one, Taste of Home recipe I have ever tried. I am so confident in Taste of Home recipes that I am not afraid to make the recipe for others before trying it first, and I cannot say the same for other recipes I have found. Love, love, love Taste of Home recipes. Last year about this time, Sam’s had the small Taste of Home crockpot recipe book for about $5.
