Filmed in a renovated 1806 farmhouse with a working test kitchen, the TV show features the best of American home cooking, with an emphasis on regional and heirloom fare. The Complete Cook’s Country TV Show Cookbook captures all five seasons of the show in one appealing volume that’s like a treasured recipe box brought to life.

You’ll learn the secrets of apple Cider Chicken (fresh apples, apple brandy, and cider vinegar infuse the chicken with apple-y goodness down to the bone), pan-Fried pork Chops (double-dredging the chops makes for a substantially crisp, golden-brown crust), and mile-high lemon meringue pie (a hot sugar syrup and cream of tartar help build a tall and fluffy meringue). and in addition to learning how to make great food, you can read the colorful stories behind the recipes.

The Complete Cook’s Country TV Show Cookbook also offers a comprehensive 40-page shopper’s guide that includes not just the ingredient and equipment winners featured on the TV show but also dozens more from America Test Kitchen.
