  • Only family cookbook you will ever need

    This is my go-to for simple home cooked meals. My first volume was gifted to me in 2006, the year my son was born. Before that I was single and only knew how to make dinner party food and cookies for my annual cookie exchange party. Suddenly having to make meals everyday for my son & his dad was an ordeal. I thought I knew how to cook, but quickly realized that I needed a better reference. I recently moved out of state and retired my old one because pages were stained, stuck together, tabs had come off from use, and I tossed it (it was wrecked beyond donating.) A month after we moved here my son wanted to make banana bread. The Joy of Cooking was on the shelf and we thought we might try that recipe. It went...okay, I guess. My teenage son and I made it twice. He gently asked where the Red Cookbook was and looked utterly dismayed when I told him I had tossed before our move. The look of relief on his face when he sees the replacement ATK Family Cookbook on the shelf is everything. This title is kitchen tested, includes sensible recipe variations, produces consistent good results. If there is an extra step, you can be sure there is a reason for it. The recipes are easy to understand, focus on widely available ingredients, and yield reliable results. The ring binder format lays pages flat and the index is easy to access. I definitely recommend this for both beginners and experienced cooks, and would make a thoughtful gift.

  • Try it! You'll like it!

    Want to know the best kitchen utensils? America's Test Kitchen has reliable recommendations. Want to know why copper bowls are recommended for whipping egg whites? America's Test Kitchen has tested copper bowls, glass bowls, ceramic bowls, and stainless steel bowls and will tell you the results of the tests and the scientific reason copper works best. Pumpkin pie crusts soggy? ATK tells you why and offers a solution. Love Lasagne but the payoff isn't worth all the effort so you've been eating Stouffer's all these years? ATK has a somewhat simple recipe using no-boil noodles with delicious results. Awesome cookbook.

  • Cooks illustrated cook book

    This is one of the finest all around cook books available today. Most anything you want to prepare in the kitchen is covered not only in words but pictured and explained from their test kitchen. I have enjoyed my copy, so had to get one for a new granddaughter recently, to insure her success in the kitchen. To coin an old phrase from my mothers time, the way to a mans heart is through his stomach.

  • Great cookbook

    I’m so happy to be able to replace my favorite cookbook (dogs ate my original that was a wedding gift). It’s exactly as described in the listing and came a little early. I’m super happy! I would buy from them again. Thank you!
