The famed Taste of Home Cooking Show has been attended by about 5 million people in the last 20 years.

The show camee to Elkin last year, and it’s going to be coming back in October. This year the show is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 11, starting at 6:30 p.m. Vendors will be there before the show from 4 p.m. until shortly before the show.

Every year, more than 300 Taste of Home Cooking School events attract up to 300,000 people. With cooking demonstrations by the Taste of Home team, led by Taste of Home specialist Michele Roberts, attendees will learn seasonal recipes that are perfect for every holiday and occasion, and every skill level.

Like all Taste of Home recipes, these recipes were shared by people who cook at home as a way to bring family and friends together. They can be made with readily available ingredients to create memorable meal moments.

Plus, attendees can learn tips and tricks that will help you save time and make the most of your cooking experience. About 50 percent of Cooking School attendees return annually, and one in 10 seek out more than one Cooking School each year.

Before the show, attendees can visit booths hosted by local vendors from 4-6 p.m.

The Tribune is still accepting applications for vendors.
