Every Recipe From The Hit TV Show With Product Ratings and a Look Behind the Scenes
Starred review from February 1, 2018
America's Test Kitchen, creator of the popular public television cooking show of the same name and home to Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country magazines, presents a compilation of every recipe featured throughout its 18 seasons on the air. Known for attention to detail and perfection of recipes, the Test Kitchen staff demonstrates how each recipe is tested at least two dozen times in order to perfect the technique and ingredients. Included are basic, traditional recipes, but many introduce new time-saving techniques. Also featured are variations on recipes, such as a classic chicken noodle soup with slow cooker and pressure cooker versions. Chapters are divided into the different meats, as well as soups, salads, breads and desserts. Chapters on Italian, French, Tex-Mex, diner favorites, takeout, and Thanksgiving classics are a welcome addition. A lengthy list of favorite equipment and ingredients covers just about anything a home cook could ever wish for. VERDICT While America's Test Kitchen cookbooks are often text-heavy, most recipes are foolproof. This is a must for cooks wanting to perfect their techniques. Fans of the long-running series The Best of America's Test Kitchen will want this comprehensive new cookbook.--Melissa Stoeger, Deerfield P.L., IL
