Dear ##firstname[Friend]##,
 This exciting issue of Cookbook Insider addresses two concerns most family cooks face today: Saving money and saving time.
Between busy schedules and the need to cut costs, it’s important to watch the clock and the food budget. That’s why slow cookers are more popular than ever. When time’s tight, they eliminate the temptation to hit an expensive drive-thru. Everyday Slow Cooker & One Dish Recipes appeared in an early issue of this newsletter. Everyone enjoyed the free recipes, so we included a few more this month. Try them and you’ll discover that with a little planning, you’ll beat the kitchen clock and keep your food budget in tact.
The second book I’d like to share promises that each recipe will turn out perfect every time. That’s because it’s The Best of Taste of Home, Volume 2. You can rest assured that all 575 dishes will be winners with your gang...and not a forkful will go to waste.
Have a wonderful month,
Catherine Cassidy
Editor in Chief

Featured recipe:
Mushroom Chicken Cacciatore
I give an Italian treatment to chicken by slow-cooking it in a zesty tomato sauce and serving it over spaghetti. It's great for company because it frees up time to spend with guests. —Jane Bone, Cape Coral, Florida |

Featured recipe:
Italian Shrimp 'n' Pasta
This dish is always a hit! The shrimp, orzo, tomatoes and cayenne pepper remind me of a Creole favorite, but the Italian seasoning adds a different twist.

COOKBOOK CONNOISSEUR |
Get to Know...Vicki Karras!
 Vicki Karras became a cookbook author at the age of 13...sort of. “I pasted recipes I liked onto the pages of an old book,” she writes from Fairfield, North Dakota. “It wasn’t long before I started collecting real cookbooks, and I haven’t stopped since.”
As of now, Vicki has more than 1,000 titles in her collection. “Last year my husband hired a carpenter to build a bookcase for my cookbooks,” she explains. “I’m sorry to say that I’ve already run out of space!
“My collection comes in handy because I like trying new recipes,” she adds. “My husband loves the fact that he never eats ‘repeats’ as he calls them.”
Two of Vicki’s favorite recipes come from Taste of Home books. “Baked Salisbury Steak from The Ultimate Ground Beef Cookbook and Creamy Beef Stroganoff from The Ground Beef Cookbook are always popular in our house,” she explains.
Owning a small tavern, Vicki often prepares a surprise for her patrons. “I once combined a few ideas to create a pickled egg recipe,” she says. “The eggs are such a hit that I’ve been offered as much as $250 for the recipe.” Vicki doesn’t plan on sharing her secret any time soon, however. “Who knows?” she concludes. “I may just write a cookbook of my own one day, and that will be a featured recipe!”
