If you can only buy one cookbook, buy this one!

I have been a fan of America's Test Kitchen since I was a child, so when I saw this in a bookstore recently I had to have it. I ended up ordering on Amazon because it was cheaper, but even at full price I would consider it worth every penny.

For the price, you get tons of recipes, 22 years worth. I like the clear, easy to follow instructions, and the short paragraph explaining some information about the recipe and its development. I also appreciate the judicious use of pictures because as much as I like to see pictures of nice looking food, it's probably not going to turn out in my kitchen the way it does on ATK anyway. The collection of recipes also includes a diverse array of cuisine so there is always going to be something new to try and the ingredients are almost always something one can easily access in US supermarkets. So far, I haven't seen any that require schlepping around for specialty ingredients.

Another great thing they added was a section on product recommendations and taste test winners. I really liked these segments on ATK and would often google their recommendations when I was in the market for a new kitchen implement, but now it's all in one place. Even if their recommended product is out of my price range, they have a "what to look for" column that can help guide shopping and purchase decisions.

So, I can't recommend this product enough. It would be a great purchase for anyone who likes ATK, likes to cook, or someone who is learning how to cook for themselves.

Can't find all the recipes

After watching several episodes of America's Test Kitchen I wanted a copy of this newest cookbook so I'd have the recipes at my fingertips. It is described as having every recipe cooked on the show. However, I can't locate the recipes for the episodes I watched.

Update - I found out why I couldn't find the recipes I saw on TV. I emailed America's Test Kitchen asking why I couldn't find recipes from recent shows. It turns out, the recipes I wanted were presented on the Cook's Country Show. It's hard to tell the difference between the two shows. Almost the same cast of chefs, etc. They were kind enough to send me copies of the recipes I was looking for! Thanks for clearing that up.

Our 2nd Purchase

We purchased an earlier version in the past & wanted to be up to date with this seasons episodes. Whats not to like about the TV Show or the cookbook content but wish it came spiral bound so it would lay flat in a bookstand to the desired page. Solved this issue with our own spiral binding machine.

Blown away!

This thing is massive. 1200+ pages but I’ve never owned a more complete cookbook in my life. There is something for every occasion from American standards, Tex mex, Italian, Asian, a few drinks, and one skillet meals. I think this would make an amazing gift for newlyweds and anyone who loves to cook or wants to learn more about it. I’ve already tabbed out the sections for easier reference. I hate having to google a recipe and finding a million different versions with few tried and true reviews. I’m especially enjoying the brunch section (complete with mimosa recipe) and I love that they explain why this is the best version of a certain recipe and why they have certain cooking methods or ingredients added. The back section with the kitchen gear picks is an added bonus. I can’t stop recommending this cookbook to all my friends.

All of their recipes in one place!

I am a collector of recipes and cookbooks and enjoy making new recipes several times a week. Over the years I have loved many of the America's Test Kitchen recipes. I have finally purchased this complete book and couldn't be happier. The color photos and notes are helpful and I love the "direction" photos. Their recipes are super easy to follow and adapt to my family's tastes. The only thing I wish the recipes noted which season they aired, although it is easy enough to look-up on Google, it would be a nice touch. I can see this becoming one of my core cookbooks that doesn't ever get to leave the collection. I very highly recommend this book for beginners and for experienced cooks alike. There is plenty of room to grow with this book.

Has everything!

The photos of the recipes dont even begin to touch the surface of how many recipes are ACTUALLY in this book! I used to watch this show back in the day and always liked it, so I came across this book on Amazon while looking for different magazines and decided to buy it. I knew people were complaining about how thick it is, shoot, more for the money! I love it! It shows different techniques, tons of recipes and photos! No complaints here. Honestly, books this thick usually go for $70/80. Bottom line, I'm glad I bought it!

Wow a substantial book

This book is full of great information. We wished the font size was a little larger. But who knows how big this book would be then. We are big fans of Am Test Kitchen and don’t always have online access to get the recipes.

Another great cook book plus a guide to the best equipment to get for your cooking!

This is one HUGE BOOK! If you have back issues, hum... It weighs a ton. There's well over a Thousand pages! It's packed with more information than most people will ever need to know how to make wonderful dishes and full meal. Best of all, the have a whole large chapter on equipment and products they use and have found to be the best for their recipes. The equipment they review is worth the price alone. For each item, the give at least one better model and one that will still work quite well for the money. My only gripe is that personally, for as much information as this book packs, it should have been done in at least 2 or even 3 volumes. The weight alone has made it quite hard for my wife to use. All that aside, it is a fantastic book!

Nice

I’ve been on ATK cookbook kick. Nice, nice books but I’ve gotten so many I’m getting repeat recipes. Their books are quality paper and cookbooks with color pictures are unbeatable. This cookbook is nice as well, lots of recipes not as many pictures but it’d be 5 times thicker if all recipes were pictured. If you aren’t addicted to cookbooks as I seem to be this may very well be the only cookbook you need.
