America's Test Kitchen, 2006
A Wonderful Purchase!
I purchased this book at Costco primarily because the price was attractive and I am a fan of Cook's Illustrated; but, I did not necessarily have huge expectations. How wrong I was! I turn to this book again and again for recipes that are healthy and delicious. The turkey burgers are absolutely wonderful, the chicken with pan sauces make me appear to be a much better chef than I am and the the ...

America's Test Kitchen, 2007
Fabulous Cookbook From A Cookbook Collecter
I have well over 200 cookbooks. I purchased this cookbook because I love cookbooks of course and I love the publication Cook's. If you have to have color photographs this book is not for you. But it is so well illustrated in black and white that you cannot miss a trick with it.
Very well illustrated and a great reference book. I would suggest all in the series for a beginner cook too. I ...

everyone can use a little ATK
Lemme preface by stating that I am incredibly exacting when it comes to my home, my kitchen and what I choose to serve to my family and friends. And that's why this book is so special and unique. Because I know without a shadow of doubt that anything published by Cook's Illustrated and Chris Kimball (the editor-at-large) is always going to be Perfect!
I suppose it was about 2 years ago when I ...

The Cook's Illustrated Guide To Grilling And Barbecue: A Practical Guide for the Outdoor Cook22 reviews
America's Test Kitchen, 2005
Fantastic!
I'm not much of a meat eater, but wanted to be able to cook really good meat when I grill. This book may make me a meat lover! Each recipe is very educational as they explain many of the methods they tried before determining the best method for grilling a particular item. I've tried four recipes so far and they have all been absolutely perfect. I grilled burgers for a crowd on the 4th of July and ...

The Best 30-Minute Recipe35 reviews
Editors of 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 how to do things the right way, and why things work. Highly recommended for anyone who is not a serious chef, and doesn't want to ...

Classic!
I agree with one of the reviewers that he/she feels like a pro using the "The Best" series. I've cooked from this book and several of "The Best" Series and they ALL came up excellent according to the people and guests to whom I'd served them: from Asian to Italian to restaurant cooking, and many more. It takes away the guessing from what I've been doing. I agree with the editors that their books ...

The Best American Classics: A Best Recipe Classic (Best Recipe Series)4 reviews

A recipe for your heart, soul, and mind....
I am one of those cooks that has never had any formal training (beyond my mother/grandmother). By using this book, I have been able to appreciate the fine taste of American authentic food today. The authors really did their homework with these recipes to form the best recipe classic in the year 2006. I have tried 30+ receipes from this cookbook and all were a hit with my family and friends. I am ...

An Informative Guide for Meat Lovers
If you are not familiar with Cook's Illustrated magazine and their numerous cookbooks, let me introduce them to you. What they do is they take a recipe into their test kitchen, prepare it over and over again until they reach the very best way to make it, and then publish the recipe, along with a detailed report on their testing and how they arrived at their findings. This is a wonderful concept ...

Perfect Vegetables: Part of "The Best Recipe" Series9 reviews
America's Test Kitchen, 2003
Veg-o-rama
A well written, detailed book wherein each chapter brings a new vegetable and great ideas. I was primarily looking to make vegetables play a more central and creative role in my cooking, and this book has been the answer. You'll be carmelizing onions and braising endive in no time.

"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 cookbook--I know they will like the gift! The recipes are sophisticated enough to satisfy their "foodiness" yet simple enough to ...

Awesome Yams
OK, I bought this book because I hate vegetables. I really REALLY don't like them, and I needed to like them. So here comes this book, and the first thing I make is baked yams. Oh man, I LOVED them! Then I tried the leeks. I'd never had leeks before, and had no idea how to cook them. They were amazing!
I love to read through the description of the process they took for each vegetable, trying ...

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?

Bring out your inner chef
Somehow, I feel this book has not received its due credit or attention. As someone who is very familiar with Cook's Illustrated, I am very surprised that this book did not become one of their top sellers. Perhaps because it is somewhat of a departure from what Cook's Illustrated normally does that people have not been able to truly embrace its concept? I must say that even I was surprised that ...

Test Kitchen Favorites: The 2007 Companion Cookbook to the Hit TV Show (America's Test Kitchen)9 reviews
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 about 14 recipes from this book and every one has been terrific. The carbonnade has a more complex flavor than carbonnade I ate in ...
