OUR KEY PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS

Supper Clubs
The first Cooking Light supper club was born in 1999 when readers in Northern California got together on our online message boards to organize the first gathering. Today, our supper club family has grown to hundreds of clubs around the world who meet regularly to cook and share recipes from the magazine. Inspired by our readers’ grassroots clubs, we now host a series of Supper Clubs events where you can sample light dishes, meet other members, and watch our executive chef Billy Strynkowski demonstrate recipes and cooking techniques. For tips on starting your own supper club, visit CookingLight.com/supperclubs.

Cooking Light & Aramark: Power Lunch Program
Cooking Light has partnered with Aramark, the leading provider of corporate dining services, to feature our recipes in corporate dining facilities of Fortune 500 companies nationwide. Cooking Light branded chef’s tables are now showcased in 30 corporations including: Eli Lilly, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, L.L. Bean, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Grainger, and Johnson & Johnson. From sampling and giveaways to expert-led cooking demonstrations to signage and sweepstakes, Cooking Light seamlessly integrates our advertising partners into a healthy, delicious dining experience.

Casting Call 
Cooking Light Casting Call competition, a search for a new wave of culinary excellence—self-taught cooks, professionally trained chefs or cooking school students to compete for the title Cooking Light “Healthy Cook of the Year.” Contenders must prove a vision and talent for making healthy taste great in new, innovative ways for the chance to win a grand prize package worth $10,000.

Taste Test Awards 
The “Taste Test Awards,” a celebration of a year-long search for the most delicious, nutritious potables and edibles—examines hundreds of brands in 32 best-selling grocery store and artisanal categories. The results are then featured in Cooking Light as a special shopping incentive on a full promotional page. Participating winners’ products will be showcased along with a $5 rebate for a qualified purchase. Winners will also receive a tout for our Microsoft Tag interactive bar code. Through a snap of the page with any enabled mobile phone, consumers will receive product coupons and a Cooking Light recipe featuring participating products.

Cooking Light Books
Every year we publish a Cooking Light Annual Recipes cookbook that aggregates the hundreds of recipes featured in our magazine, each professionally tested and approved by our Test Kitchens. We also publish additional series with popular titles including The Cooking Light Complete Cookbook, The Best of Cooking Light Everyday Favorites, and themed cookbooks from the Cooking Light Cook's Essential Recipe Collection. Visit www.oxmoorhouse.com for a complete list or to order. You can also create a customized cookbook by choosing select Cooking Light recipes―and uploading your own family recipes and photos―at Tastebook.com.

Most of our food images and videos and are produced on location in Homewood, Alabama, in the Time Inc. Food Studios. Special thanks to the Alabama Film Office for their assistance.
