"Taste of Home Magazine was once a very interesting magazine, I looked forward for it in the mail around the time it was to be delivered, I loved to see what other people want as far as receipes. Now I do not care, if something was so good why change it. I have been a member of this magazine almost since it started and have every copy. I sure do not look at the new copies the same way I did my old one. Please go back to the first copy and lets stay that way,"

Pros: The recipes are always delicious, simple to follow, and very well written.
Cons: HATE, HATE, HATE THIS NEW FORMAT.

"I have enjoyed this magazine for many years, and have had great success with just about every recipe. Many people ask me for my recipes, and I always tell them about this magazine. HOWEVER, not any more,as I too JUST HATE THIS NEW FORMAT. It i not not user friendly at all. The other format was much easier to follow. This whole style is just too broken up. I can understand that more advertising has to be there. That I can tolerate but not the change in format!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

"I have been a subscriber for many years and I loved it. The new layout is not pleasing to me , Please change it back. I really loved the fact that there was no advertising. I admit that I don't like change, but you did not change this for the better and that is the only change that I am willing to deal with. I am considering not renewing my subscription. You really messed up a good thing."

Pros: Can't think of any!
Cons: Too much change, Ad's, recipes, style, etc.

"I was so shocked, this was been my most prized
magazine. I have kept all of the issues in the past years but I wouldn't be interested in keeping this new style.
The old style was so easy to read and very enjoyable. Every month I couldn't wait to get the "Taste Of Home."
I wouldn't be so quick to say I won't take it any longer, but I have thought about it."

can't wait for each magazine, December 2, 2008
By trish from Los Lunas New Mexico

Content Quality:		5 out of 5
Design Quality:		4 out of 5
Photo Quality:		5 out of 5

Pros: highly recomend for anyone
Cons: none

"I moved to New Mexico which is high altitude and
recipes have to be changed in ingredients but
also cooking time and temperature. I have made
lots of recipes from your magazines. All have
been great and everyone has loved the food.

Maybe list a conversion chart for high altitudes.
This would really be appreciated also lots of
people are moving here am sure they have the
same problem or purchasing other cook books."
