by Jill (FUQUAY VARINA, NC) 1 review I have always loved to cook & my friends and family love the food I prepare. But these America's Test Kitchens recipes have made a good cook an even better cook. The best part about this cookbook is that it is not only a reference book, it is just plain fun to read!
This has now become my standard wedding gift and Cooking.com had made it an easy & affordable gift solution, too.
The New Best Recipe was recommended to me as being a fantastic cookbook. My sister-in-law was right! I love reading the recipe testing that was done to come up with the best possible way to prepare the food. I tried the classic macaroni and cheese first, and it was delicious. Glad I bought this book, even though I didn't need another cookbook.
by ROBERT (SCHAUMBURG, IL) 1 review I found one of the other editions of the series, that had only 100 recipes, at B&N during X-mas. I didn't purchase the book, but asked for it as a gift. I think I didn't receive the book last X-mas because of the high price tag. Searching on eBay and Amazon brought me to this edition. It's loaded with all kinds of recipes with detailed accounts of how they arrived at 'the best recipe'. I've tried three of the baked goods and EVERYONE loves the results! You can't go wrong if you follow the recipes exactly as written. The insight they give on the brands of ingredients, cooking untensils, pots/pans, etc, gives you even better results than you thought possible. The price on cooking.com is so good, I don't see why people go to Borders and B&N except to buy coffee and read magazines. This book will be the first one I grab whenever I need to make something that will be a hit with my guests!
by ED (WASHINGTON, DC) 1 review I've got an entire library of cookbooks. This is one of my favorites. I use it as a gift to friends of mine who love to cook. The approach the cookbook takes is similar to mine.
It finds something that it wants to make; looks at numerous recipes for the same item; then tests and modifies each of the recipes until it finds something that passes numerous taste tests.
I still use many of my other cookbooks, I just love having this in my library as a resource.
by Natalie (Devonshire, ZZ) 3 reviews your purchasers, especially me would appreciate a larger font when publishing these books. I find it difficult to read, which takes away from your very good recipes
Would purchase again
