About the Taste of Home Cooking School The Taste of Home Cooking School is America’s leading cooking school program. We inspire up to 150,000 passionate home chefs each year at approximately 250 events across the country. Our professional culinary specialists demonstrate recipes, cooking methods, practical kitchen tips, and plating techniques in an entertaining and educational environment. At the Taste of Home Cooking School show, attendees experience two hours of exciting recipe demonstrations using seasonal ingredients that are easily found at the local grocery store. We show step-by-step how to create satisfying and flavorful dishes. All Taste of Home Cooking School attendees receive a valuable gift bag filled with money-saving coupons, product samples and a Taste of Home Cooking School magazine. Additionally, all attendees are entered to win one of a number of exciting door prizes and the chance to take home a dish that will have been prepared during the show. The Taste of Home Cooking School has a storied history. It all began in 1948 with a business venture that was originally called Homemaker Schools. One

busy home economist loaded up her station wagon and drove across the Midwest, stopping at small-town appliance dealerships to conduct cooking classes for dozens of “homemakers.” The Cooking School was acquired by Taste of Home magazine in the 90s, and now, more than 60 years later, our nine culinary specialists conduct hundreds of shows across the country for audiences in the thousands. Our mission remains the same, though: We share best loved recipes from one home cook to another. We invite you to come join us, and “Let’s Get Cooking!”

About Taste of Home Taste of Home is a go-to resource for the holidays and any time of the year for information on food, cooking and entertaining. Each year, thousands of great home cooks from across the United States and Canada submit more than 40,000 recipes, of which 3,000 are published in Taste of Home magazines and online, making Taste of Home one of the largest and most successful practitioners of user-generated content. Before being published, every recipe is tested in the Taste of Home Test Kitchen to ensure that it can be prepared with affordable, everyday ingredients from regular grocery stores. Taste of Home content is available in print; online at Tasteofhome.com; in books; via digital download on iPad, mobile apps and Kindle; and Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

JOHNSONVILLE SAUSAGE & TASTE OF HOME BRING ITALIAN RECIPES TO COOKING SCHOOLS Spring Cooking School Tour Travels to 30 States Starting in March When Johnsonville Sausage joins the Taste of Home cooking schools on its 30-state fall tour between September and December, attendees will be delighted by a tasty dish for the holiday season.

Taste of Home cooking school attendees will learn some creative uses for Italian ground sausage in a main entree or appetizer. The goal is to expose the Taste of Home cooking school attendees to some convenient, flavorful and simple recipes they can take back with them for a weeknight dinner or special occasion. One popular recipe that reviewers rate as a five-star dish is Johnsonville’s Chiliville Chili, which takes a traditional all-ground beef recipe and instead uses a blend of ground beef and Italian ground sausage, which gives the chili an extra flavor boost. Johnsonville Italian ground sausage is available in three flavors such as sweet, made with basil; hot, made with crushed red pepper; or mild, a more traditional version. While other meats require sauces and spices to flavor a dish, Italian sausage delivers the flavor all on its own.

Chiliville Chili http://www.johnsonville.com/recipe/chiliville-chili.html

Made with only premium cuts of pork and a perfect blend of spices, Johnsonville Italian ground sausage brings the level of quality that confident cooks are looking for when creating their families’ “keeper” recipes.

Discover the Versatility of Honey

It’s hard to imagine anything more pure and natural than one-ingredient honey. Produced by bees from the nectar of plants and flowers, honey essentially flows from hive to the table. With more than 300 different honey varietals found in the United States, all with a unique color and flavor, you are sure to find a honey varietal you will love. The journey of honey begins with humble honey bees. Whether buzzing in their hives or foraging for nectar in wide open fields, honey bees are a critical component of today’s agricultural market. They perform the vital function of pollination, or the transferring of pollen from plant to plant, thus fertilizing the plants and enabling them to bear fruit. In fact,

about one-third of the U.S. diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants and honey bees are responsible for about 80 percent of that process. Major crops that depend on honey bees for pollination consist of almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries – the list goes on and on. For centuries, honey has been thought of as a kitchen staple, but honey is so much more than a culinary ingredient. Honey’s versatility is endless, spanning the bathroom vanity, the gym and even the medicine cabinet. Honey is a humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture, thus giving your skin a natural glow and the perfect ingredient to add to your beauty routine. Honey is also an effective and all-natural energy booster, containing

approximately 17 grams of carbohydrates per tablespoon. Finally, honey has been used for centuries as a natural cough suppressant, helping to soothe and relieves the irritation of a cough. All the wonderful benefits of honey could not be made possible without the incredible honey bee. The National Honey Board is committed to finding ways to help beekeepers maintain the health of their honey bees and was among the first to provide funding for Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) research in early 2007. Since 2004, the National Honey Board has funded multiple honey bee health research projects every year, which can be found on our website www.honey.com.

Without the honey bees hard work in pollinating the blueberries, these Blueberry Muffins with Salted Honey Crumble wouldn’t be possible. Honey acts as a humectant, helping to retain and attract moisture, leaving these muffins soft and moist. These muffins would make the perfect addition to your breakfast meal or a great snack throughout the day.

Blueberry Muffins with Salted Honey Crumble Ingredients: For Crumble: ½ cup - light brown sugar 10 tablespoons - unsalted butter, softened 4 tablespoons - clover honey ½ teaspoon - vanilla extract 1¼ cup - all-purpose flour 1½ teaspoons - kosher salt For Muffins: 2 cups - all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons - baking powder ½ teaspoon - kosher salt 1 cup - sugar ½ cup - unsalted butter, softened 3 tablespoons - honey (use a mild, light varietal) 1 teaspoon - vanilla extract 2 - large eggs ½ cup - milk 2 cups - fresh blueberries

Directions: For the salted honey crumble: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the brown sugar, butter, clover honey and vanilla; beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and salt. Mix on low speed just until the mixture comes together and develops a sandy texture. Refrigerate in an airtight container for at least 30 minutes.

For the muffins: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 12 muffin cups and dust with flour. In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together sugar, butter, honey and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time and mix well; stir in milk. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in blueberries using a rubber spatula. Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-fourths full. Sprinkle each top with 1 tablespoon of the salted honey crumble. Bake on the center rack of oven until golden, about 30 to 35 minutes.

The National Honey Board is an industry-funded agriculture promotion group that works to educate consumers about the benefits and uses for honey and honey products through research, marketing and promotional programs.

Meet Taste of Home Culinary Specialist Jamie Dunn! Jamie’s love of cooking was sparked while taking 8th grade Home Economics, and her parents also encouraged her interest along the way. Jamie’s dad was an occasional cook but always eager to try new recipes, and his enthusiasm rubbed off. Jamie went on to attend Oklahoma State University where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Vocational Home Economics Education and Community Service. From there she has worked as a culinary instructor for Tulsa Technology and Bama Cooking School, as well as a high school Home Economics teacher. As a seasoned Taste of Home Cooking School instructor, Jamie looks forward to sharing time-saving cooking tips and the latest kitchen gadgets with cooking school audiences. One of her favorite gadgets is a pair of battery operated salt and pepper grinders. Each Cooking School show is live, so Jamie says you never know what to expect. “Years ago at one of my first shows, one of my onstage assistants accidentally set something on fire and was running around the stage with it,” Jamie shares. “It was definitely an unexpected, memorable moment!” When she’s not on the road with the Taste of Home Cooking School, Jamie enjoys baking – especially desserts. She makes pies and candies for the holidays. And, one of her favorite dessert recipes is Layered Turtle Cheesecake. A native of Oklahoma, Jamie lives with her husband and three sons in the town of Owasso. She explains, “It’s a great place to live because it’s very family oriented and it’s a great community for kids.”

Greek-Style Lemon-Garlic Chicken Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour

Ingredients

8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3 pounds) 1 cup pitted Greek olives 8 bone-in chicken thighs (about 3 pounds) 1 /2 cup olive oil 3 tablespoons lemon juice 6 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1 /2 teaspoon pepper 1-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Scrub potatoes; cut each into eight wedges and place in a shallow roasting pan. Top with olives and chicken. In a small bowl, whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, oregano and pepper until blended. Drizzle over chicken and potatoes. Pour chicken broth around chicken into pan. Bake, uncovered, 60-70 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°-175° and potatoes are tender. Serve with pan juices.

I love celebrating my Greek heritage with this super simple and scrumptious Sunday dinner. Prep time is a breeze and the ingredient list is relatively short for such a flavorful one-dish meal. Each time I make this I’m transported back to my ya-ya, who gave me the special honor of squeezing the lemons! —Lisa Renshaw, Kansas City, Missouri

COOKS CLAMOR for FRESH HERBS Dorot delivers on growing demand It’s no secret - the culinary world is clawing at foods rich in fresh herbs…from Jean Georges Vongerichten’s Black Bass with chiles, herbs red bliss potatoes and spinach, which was just voted one of the best dishes by The New York Times, to New York magazine’s account of the “brash aggressive flavors” of garlic and chiles that turn cauliflower and Brussels sprouts into a ‘can’t miss’ dish - fresh herbs are a recurring theme that cannot be ignored. Foodies agree that a starring role of fresh herbs in fine cuisine is one of the hottest trends in the culinary world today. Chefs delight in using herbs to pack a flavorful punch, and restaurants are hiring foragers to scour the parks and forests to bring back nature’s bounty. Up until now, home cooks have had to buy large quantities of herbs from farmer’s markets or grocery stores. All that has changed. Dorot, an international purveyor of fine herbs and seasonings, has arrived on American soil to give consumers the benefits of farm-fresh herbs without the hassle, expense and short shelf life of fresh produce. Despite their popularity and coveted flavor profiles, fresh herbs are frequently used in small quantities and often go to waste. Sensing this quandary, Dorot has introduced a line of fresh herbs and spices that are chopped and quickly frozen in convenient pre-portioned ice cube trays. Gourmets on the go will appreciate the time-saving convenience of pre-portioned herbs. There’s no need to chop, grate or even defrost: just add a cube to whatever’s cooking. “The only thing more painful than seeing a beautifully prepared meal go to waste, is seeing the ingredients get spoiled before they’ve even had a chance to be prepared,” said Dorot’s CEO & VP of International Marketing, Tal Tal-Or. “Consumers can tell when a piece of fish or meat is truly fresh. Herbs and seasonings are no different.” Dorot’s slim trays fit easily in a cramped freezer and can last up to 24 months so fresh herbs are within reach at all times. Furthermore, Dorot is all natural (no preservatives, trans fats, food coloring, or cholesterol) and gluten-free. Dorot is available in numerous flavors, including Crushed Garlic, Crushed Ginger, Chopped Basil, Cilantro, Parsley, Chili and Dill. Dorot Fresh Herbs and Spices can be found in many grocery stores with a suggested retail price of approximately $1.99 $2.99. More information is available at www.mydorot.com.

Irresistible Flavored Cheese Popsicles Ingredients for about 16 units:

1/2 cup goat cheese 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 cup soft cream cheese Mix all the cheese kinds and put in a bowl, divide into 4 portions.

For Garlic & Dill Cheese Balls, add:

1 Dorot Crushed Garlic cubes 4 Dorot Chopped Dill cubes Mix with 1/4 of the cheese, roll 4 balls and refrigerate.

For Chili Cheese Balls, add:

3 Dorot Chopped Chili cubes Mix with 1/4 of the cheese, roll 4 balls and refrigerate.

For Basil & Dried Tomatoes Cheese Balls, add

1 tablespoon of chopped dried tomatoes 4 Chopped Basil cubes Mix with 1/4 of the cheese, roll 4 balls and refrigerate.

For Garlic Cheese Balls coated with crushed pistachios, add

3 Dorot Crushed Garlic cubes 3 tsp of crushed pistachios Mix garlic cubes with 1/4 of the cheese roll 4 balls; roll the balls in crushed pistachios and refrigerate.

CHA! by Texas Pete Transforms Traditional Meatloaf ®

Texas Pete® hot sauces have been the “not-so-secret” secret weapons of southern cooks for years. Now, with the release of CHA! by Texas Pete® , home cooks and professional chefs alike are enjoying the extra kick this sriracha sauce adds to their tried-and-true recipes. Sriracha sauce originally came to America from Thailand and certainly complements Asian-style food. However, CHA! by Texas Pete® offers a fiery blend of heat and sweet that is remarkably versatile on a wide variety of cuisines. With the inclusion of Texas Pete’s latest sauce, the company offers a sauce for every occasion. In addition to CHA!, Texas Pete® produces: Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce Texas Pete® Hotter Hot Sauce Texas Pete® Garlic Hot Sauce Texas Pete® Green Pepper Sauce Texas Pete® Wing Sauces (three varieties) Texas Pete® Chili Sauce Texas Pete® Honey Mustard Sauce Texas Pete® Seafood Cocktail Sauce The Texas Pete website (www.TexasPete.com) features professionally developed recipes using these sauces, including CHA! Among the favorites is the Texas Pete CHA! Spicy Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf that is sure to please family and guests alike.

TEXAS PETE® SPICY BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAF Ingredients:

2 lbs ground pork 1 /4 cup ginger, fresh, finely grated 4 cloves garlic, fresh minced 1 /2 cup scallions, fresh, thinly sliced 1 /2 cup cilantro, fresh, rough chopped 2 tbsp. soy sauce 1 tbsp. sesame oil 4 tbsp. CHA! by Texas Pete® 2 eggs 1 cup panko bread crumbs 8 slices bacon, thick sliced

Glaze Ingredients: /2 cup hoisin sauce /4 cup CHA! by Texas Pete

1 1

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the ground pork into a large mixing bowl. Add the grated ginger, garlic, scallions, cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil and the Cha! By Texas Pete® and mix well until fully combined. Next, add one egg at a time followed by the panko breadcrumbs. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. Do not over mix. Line a sheet tray with aluminum foil and lightly coat with either olive oil or non-stick spray. Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean work surface. Arrange the bacon strips on the plastic wrap one at a time overlapping them lengthwise just enough so that there is no space in between each strip of bacon. Place another piece of plastic wrap large enough to fit over the whole sheet of bacon and press down firmly. Using a mallet carefully pound the bacon strips to tenderize and to stick together. The sheet of bacon will widen a few inches on each side and should be approximately 10 inches long by 8 inches wide. Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and discard. Keep the bacon on the bottom sheet of plastic wrap. Turn the plastic wrap with the bacon so the strips are facing you vertically. Form the meatloaf into the shape of a log horizontally onto the center of the sheet against the strips of bacon. Carefully roll the bacon with the meatloaf tightly keeping it in the shape of a log. Place the meatloaf onto the sheet tray. Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the bacon. Sprinkle the top of the bacon wrapped meatloaf with all of the sesame seeds. Place the meatloaf into the oven to bake for approximately 1 hour or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees has been reached. While the meatloaf is cooking prepare the glaze. Combine the Hoisin sauce with the Cha! By Texas Pete® and mix well. Glaze the meatloaf with this mixture 2-3 times during the second half hour of cooking. When the meatloaf is fully cooked remove from the oven and let it rest for approximately 15 minutes before slicing.

1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1-3/4 cups sugar, divided 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 vanilla bean 3 cups cake flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 2 / teaspoon salt 1 cup whole milk

WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE: 12 oz white baking chocolate, finely chopped 1 2 / cup heavy whipping cream

FILLING: / cup apricot preserves 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

1 3

GARNISH: Additional sliced fresh strawberries

Separate eggs; let eggs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Line two greased 9-in. round baking pans with parchment paper and grease the paper; set aside. Preheat oven to 350째. In a large bowl, cream butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Split vanilla bean and scrape seeds into creamed mixture; discard bean. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. In a small bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Fold a fourth of egg whites into the batter, then fold in remaining whites. Transfer to prepared baking pans. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Cool, stirring occasionally, to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Beat with an electric mixer until ganache is double in volume, about 2 minutes. For buttercream, in a small bowl, combine sugar and cream of tartar. Place egg whites in a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water; stir in the sugar mixture. Constantly whisk egg mixture until mixture reaches 120-130째. (Do not overheat.) Stirring gently, keep the egg white mixture at 120-130째for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a mixing bowl. With a whisk attachment, beat egg white mixture on high speed for 5 minutes. Reduce speed; beat 5 minutes longer or until cool and stiff. Transfer to a large bowl. In the same mixing bowl with whisk attachment, beat butter, shortening and vanilla until light and fluffy. With a spatula, stir a fourth of the egg white mixture into creamed mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining egg white mixture until combined. If frosting is not completely smooth, attach paddle beater to mixer and beat on low speed for about 1 minute. Cut each cake horizontally into two layers. Place bottom layer on a serving plate; spread with half of ganache. Top with another cake layer. Spread with apricot preserves; top with sliced strawberries. Place third cake layer on top; spread with remaining ganache. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread buttercream over top and sides ofcake. Top with additional sliced strawberries.
