Baking Illustrated: A Best Recipe Classic (The Best Recipe Series)
America's Test Kitchen, 2004
A must have for the home baker
This book has probably the most recipes that I use over and over again. I know that many true "pastry chefs" cringe at the thought of America's Test Kitchen because of their non-traditional methods and/or ingredients, but it always ends up coming down to one thing for ...

The Best 30-Minute Recipe
Cook's Illustrated Magazine
America's Test Kitchen, 2006
Excellent for a non-serious chef
This book has a remarkable number of really good recipes and a few duds. The collection is varied and covers traditional American to Thai. The biggest downside is that they don't suggest side dishes for their main courses. However, the real value is that they explain ...

The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition
Cook's Illustrated Magazine
America’s Test Kitchen, 2004
Perfect Creations Everytime......Almost Foolproof!!
First I will start by saying that I have never followed Cooks Illustrated or understood the belabored recipe-testing involved for this book. I have passed it up many times because the recipes looked too basic, and not gourmet or innovative. Boy, was I wrong! I was ...

Great book - as expected
Always liked the America's Test Kitchen TV shows and have used Chris Kimball's recipes in local newspaper. So because my wife and I are trying to lighten our meals this seemed worth trying. It includes many classic comfort-food items. I especially like the descriptions ...

"Cooks" cookbooks are exceellent
I have used this cookbook over and over again, it's an excellent adjunct to my cookbook library. In fact, I've enjoyed it (and it's recipes) so much I purchased two copies as gifts for two "foodie" friends. They each had complimented a dish I prepared from the ...

Cook's Illustrated
America's Test Kitchen, 2007
great product and superior service!
This is such a goldmine of cooking knowledge! All recipes turn out wonderfully. This is just 1 of others I intend to buy. All the year's issues of the magazine bound in 1 place! Hardest thing is deciding what to prepare first?

Test Kitchen Favorites: The 2007 Companion Cookbook to the Hit TV Show (America's Test Kitchen)
America's Test Kitchen, 2006
another great, but slightly flawed, cookbook from ATK
America's Test Kitchen is similar to Consumer Reports, but for food. They will try a recipe 100 times, with every variation possible, experimenting with ingredients and techniques, until they can give you an informative article and a winning recipe.
I have tried ...
