The comfort of cooking
Given the way print deadlines work, I’m writing this letter as our nation and world shelter in place in hopes of stopping the spread of COVID-19. I’m hoping that you and your family have remained healthy and that we’re back to our normal lives, taking with us what we learned from this unprecedented time in history.
In the past weeks, we’ve all been reminded of what’s important—our family, our friends, our communities and the deep, meaningful connections we have with others. At Taste of Home, we’ve also seen the powerful role food plays in building these relationships. As people search for ways to feel nourished through this crisis—both physically and emotionally—our magazines, cookbooks, website and social media have been there to offer wholesome, delicious recipes with the goal to bring comfort to our community of home cooks. We’ve loved hearing from you, and it helps to remind us that we’re all in this together.
No matter the state of the world, this is our ongoing promise to you: We will continue to help you provide delicious food and comfort to the people who matter most. That was on our minds as we designed this issue. It highlights what we all love best about summer—backyard barbecues, garden fresh produce and delicious cool treats to end the day. So here’s to a sunny, warm and healthy summer. Our best to you all.
