Whenever I want to cook something I haven’t cooked before, I pull out three cookbooks: The Joy of Cooking, How to Cook Everything and The America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. I look up the item in all three books, read through the recipes, then either just use one of them straight up (always to great success) or learn techniques from these books and do my own thing. I love these books. They never fail me. They have made me the cook I am today. They are my go-to cookbooks that I couldn’t live without!
Well, I’ve added a fourth book to the list. I didn’t think that would ever happen, but it has! The Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook has officially made it to my go-to cookbook list.
A few weeks ago I had the chance to meet with a few of the folks from America’s Test Kitchen, including Lori Galvin, executive editor in charge of books…i.e. she worked really hard on my new favorite cookbook. I had a lovely time chatting with them and am enamored with the test kitchens even more than I was before. (P.S. I totally want a job there. Constant taste testing. Heaven, right?)
Yesterday a big, heavy box arrived on my doorstep. I opened it and there was a note from Steph thanking me for spending the evening with them. The note was tucked inside my very own copy of The Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook. I immediately started reading through the book. This thing is AWESOME. Such a fantastic, trustworthy resource filled with wonderful, not-often-obvious tips. I am so happy to have this book!
Of course I asked if I could share a copy with you, and America’s Test Kitchen happily obliged! One of you will receive a copy of The Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook as well as a 1-year subscription to CooksIllustrated.com, yet another amazing cooking resource. All you need to do is add a comment to this post by Midnight PT on Monday, March 19. The randomly-selected winner will be announced on March 20.
Your comment can be anything, but if you want to make it interesting, share your favorite America’s Test Kitchen or Cook’s Illustrated recipe, or your favorite go-to cookbook(s)! We may as well share some good info with one another!
And if you’re looking for even more America’s Test Kitchen inspiration, be sure to check out The Feed. It’s really cool.
Good luck with the giveaway!

Awesome giveaway! I love Cook’s Illustrated!
I love love love American’s Test Kitchen! I especially love the gadget corner! They always have such great suggestions!
Their apple pie recipe is one of my favorites to make!!
America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook is my absolute favorite cookbook, but I’ve been meaning to get my own copy of the Cook’s Illustrated new one! I cook so much from the Family Cookbook that it’s hard to choose which recipes are my favorite, but I love the chili, the cookie and cake recipes and all their helpful hints. Great giveaway!
Have heard that specifically their instructions on technique are unparalleled! Would love to win this.
P.S. love your blog :)!
My America’s Test Kitchen Cookbook is my favorite too! I’d love to get this one.
Thank you for the heads up Jane! I was unaware that this book was coming out. I do believe that the most tattered and worn cookbook on my shelf must be the “Cover and Bake” book from the Cooks Illustrated library. I love as have the friends and family that I have gifted it to!
My brother has Cook’s Illustrated’s cookbook and raves about it. He says everything he makes out of there is the best he’s ever had. I probably need my own copy so I don’t steal his!
I love watching the show on PBS. I’ve made the chicken fajita recipe several times. It’s so yummy. Would love to win the cookbook and subscription. Thanks for the opportunity.
My current favorite cookbook is Our Best Bites, but this one looks amazing!
My favorite recipe from America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Illustrated is the creamy tomato pasta– to die for!
I always love the art on the inside back cover of Cook’s Illustrated! I would love to frame some and hang in our kitchen.
I would love this!
Thanks for sharing your fave cook books, Jane! And for hosting this great giveaway. My new favourite go-to cook book is Ferran Adriá’s “The Family Meal” 🙂
Joy of Cooking is my go-to cookbook anytime I’m making something I haven’t before. But my favorite cookbooks are always those will lots of photos. So I think this one might be perfect!
I’ve been SO close to getting this book- just saw it at Costco 2 days ago! Clicking over to check out The Feed right now…
Sounds like I NEED this and America’s Test Kitchen books! Already have the other two. Hope I win!
I love Cook’s Illustrated! Cant wait to see the new cookbook!
For technique I always check Joy of Cooking but for weeknight recipes I love Everyday Food: Great Food Fast and then indulgent recipes I go to Jamie’s Great Britain.
I love America’s Test Kitchen! I have several of their cookbooks but would love to own this one too!
What a great giveaway! Did you know you can sign up to be a recipe tester with America’s Test Kitchen? I enjoy getting random recipes to try and provide feedback. No free cookbooks with that, though.
My never-fail cookbooks include the Joy of Cooking, Staff Meals by David Waltuck, and Super Natural Everyday by Heidi Swanson.
My two go to spots for recipes are the better homes and gardens cookbook and pinterest. I also love Julia Child’s Mastering the art of french cooking books as well when I’m in the mood to learn why certain steps are necessary and when I need a challenge.
better homes and gardens is another GREAT classic. I need to dig that one out of my storage! (we have a tiny kitchen right now, only a few cookbooks on the shelf)
I made my own recipe book of just desserts and I use it a lot!
I am always open to trying new cookbooks!
Fantastic giveaway! This looks like I could spend years going through it!
Their Brussels sprouts braised in cream rock my world!
I love America’s Test Kitchen! I just recently discovered them. I have their slow cooker book and baking books rented from the library right now. I love how they explain why the recipes work. I love the science behind food!
What a valuable kitchen resource!
I drool over new cookbooks.
I’ve long wanted a copy of this! Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Childs is my all-time fave cookbook(s).
this sounds like a great cookbook; can’t wait to check it out!
Great giveaway. I love new cookbooks!
I already have a space saved for this cookbook! Great addition to my library!!
I always record American Test Kitchen on PBS so I can write down the recipes and watch the techniques over again. My favorite recipe so far has been their Tomato Mac and Cheese.
A great everyday resource as is Cooks Country.
I love cooks illustrated magazine!
What a wonderful idea! My boyfriend’s aunt saved old copies of those and I like to page through them for ideas.
What a great giveaway! I love learning new techniques, and there are so few that I have mastered. This would be such a great resource!
I love How to Cook Everything, but would love to add this to my go-to cookbook list as well!
I have their 2006 Cooking at Home cookbook and love their recipe for Beef Braised in Barolo–a wonderful pot roast.
My favorite Cook’s Illustrated recipe is for Pear Crisp – so delicious!
Just read an interesting Cooks Illustrated article about using pureed carrots in a carrot cake. Can’t wait to try!

I would love this book!!
i love my betty crocker cookbook! Thanks so much!
Oh! That looks like such a heavy, trustworthy cookbook. Exciting! Drop my name in the hat, please!
Currently the best cookbook I own is my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I swear that thing has every kind of recipe in it.
But I could definitely use a new one to mix things up!
I forgot about the better homes and gardens cookbooks…that used to be one of my go-tos, but it’s currently in storage…I need to dig it out!
Love ATK!
one of my favorite cooking mags…awesome!
I’m a long time fan of Cooks Illustrated and have a few of their cookbooks. I love their mac and cheese and lasagna recipes… and their pumpkin pie with brandy whipped cream… and big and chewy gingerbread cookies… Well, I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed with one of their recipes! I’m also a big fan of How to Cook Everything. That is probably the one book I refer back to the most.
I love Cooks Illustrated. I especially love their equipment reviews.
I always love seeing their interpretations on classics. I’ve used their dry, low-roast, then sear steak method for years. It always gives me the most tender results.
Love that magazine!
Oh I LOVE Cook’s Illustrated! Definitely a go-to resource in my house, both for recipes and just general cooking / kitchen info. Love the straightforward approach – so helpful when figuring out a new recipe or technique! Would love love love this book!
What a great giveaway!
I have checked out this book from the library before, and I really enjoyed it! I would love to win my own copy!! Thanks!
Big longtime fan of Cooks Illustrated and America’s Test Kitchen. My usual first place to look when attempting something new. They may not have the most exotic food, but I know when I follow their recipes, I’ll end up with a solid dish. I also appreciate their equipment reviews.
I’m moving out soon and I’d love to add this to my cookbook collection
I think America’s Test Kitchen has a 30-minute meals cookbook that I’ve wanted. I have a cookbook addiction. I hope I win!
I love cookbooks too! Lately though I check online with my favorite food bloggers!
I love Cooks Illustrated. Always so reliable!
I love the Joy of Cooking and Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Anything for basic cookbooks. I also have a well worn copy of Marcella Hazan’s Essentials of Italian Cooking.
I love Ree Drummonds cookbooks and I also have two never fail go to’s..The original Betty Crocker and a cookbook that the law firm where I work compiled 15 years ago. I have been wanting Cooks Illustrated for ages.

My name is Kristen and I’m a recovering cookbook-aholic. When I moved 6 years ago I gave up 3 boxes of cookbooks and only kept the ones I refer to regularly, which include Joy of Cooking and a bunch of Pampered Chef cookbooks. I LOVE Cooks Illustrated and would love to win this. My favorite recipe has to be the French Silk Pie…to die for!
I have so many favorite CI recipes, but I think the chocolate mousse cake or the sour cream chocolate bundt cake are my absolute favorites.
What a wonderful addition to my collection!! I would love to win this cookbook!
OMG!! I need to win this book. Cook’s Illustrated is my favorite magazine series. I have learned more from Cook’s than I have from the Food Channel, which I watch religiously (when Nick Jr. is not on, lol!!) Attention Gods of the random choosing…..pick meeeeeeeeee!!!! Lol:)
Their chocolate chip cookies are the best. Made with browned butter… I think I might need to make some tonight!

I love Cook’s Illustrated! My go-to has to be my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook though!
I especially love the reivewis of cookware and staple food items in Cooks Illustrated. My go-to cookbook is Fanny Farmer for the basics (a legacy from my grandmother).
I’m going to have to look into your go-to cookbooks for myself. My favorite go-to cookbooks are Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook and Fix It and Forget It. Although, most of the time I’m checking Tasty Kitchen .com by Ree Drummond, which is not really a cookbook but a recipe forum. It’s my favorite way to find recipes. I also favor Food & Wine magazine and their cookbooks, although I don’t own any.
What a fabulous cookbook. I would loveto have a copy of it. Thanks for sucha great giveaway.
I love the Cook’s Illustrated recipe for pie crust that has the vodka in it…always comes out great!! My go-to cookbook is also Fanny Farmer’s, the edition by Marion Cunningham…it has absolutely everything in it. My favorite is the Leek & Potato soup and the Chicken and Dumplings.
I have been eyeing this book at Costco as well! My standby cookbooks are the Barefoot Contessa series but I would love to check this one out.
This cookbook sounds amazing…I’m trying to build up my cookbook selection with great resources!
Without Cook’s Illustrated my family would still be eating dried out pot roast!
The Peanut Noodle Salad from the 2011 Light & Healthy magazine was delicious!
I would love to win a copy of this. I have a couple of their other books, and they are great. Thanks for doing this giveaway.
Love cooks illustrated lasanga!
Not only does the ATK Family Cookbook rock, so does the ATK Family BAKING Book, defintiely my go to.
Since St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, one of my all-time favorite ATK(CI) recipes is for Corned Beef, “corning” my own the past few years tastes so much better than anything storebought. Our New England Boiled supper will definitely be delicious.
Great giveaway, so jealous you got to spend time there, I’m fairly obsessed with all things ATK!
My latest favorites….your website and skinnytaste.com for my daily GO – TO recipes. Thank you for all the yummy recipes and great kitchen tips!!!!!
LOVE ATK! My go to cookbook has been the ATK family cookbook for a couple of years, and I recently added the ATK healthy family cookbook to my collection too. Really though, you can’t go wrong with any of them!
Favorite recipe is their free form fruit tart. I make it weekly in the summer when stone fruit are in season.
I Love ATK! I’ve never checked out one of their cookbooks, and I’d love too. I use The joy of cooking and How to Cook Everything all the time…they’re great!!
i would love one of these..
ATK is A-OK. 😉 My go-to cookbook is The Way We Cook and my husband’s is I’m Just Here for the Food by Alton Brown.

I am constantly searching for new recipes. I’d be thrilled to have a source so highly recommended!
I watch America’s Test Kitchen on PBS every Saturday. Love their recipes.
Would love to win the cookbook.
Best meatloaf, ever!
I love giveaways…
Best Blueberry Pie…mainly for the crust technique that has literally transformed my pie crusts from perpetual failures to light, flaky wonders.
This giveaway makes my heart go pitter patter. Believe it or not I don’t have ANY cooks ill cookbooks. I do have a whole barefoot contessa collection that I love.
I love my Barefoot Contessa cookbook. But I probably refer to my Better Homes cook book more when I have questions about basic recipes.
So many America’s Test Kitchen recipes are superb, but their glazed meatloaf and chicken and dumplings show up on my table frequently!
I catch the show on PBS as often as I can, and I really value their taste testing.
Fav ark recipe is chicken tikki masala! So good and taste just like the restaurants!
Pretty please with a cherry on top?! My foot and ankle surgeon keeps this magazine in his waiting room and exam rooms. If that isn’t a clear sign I don’t know what is!
Can I choose just one favorite? They have so many great one’s. I love their chocolate chunk cherry oatmeal cookies.
I love Cooks Illustrated! I totally appreciate their science-based, experimental methods to testing every recipe.
I would love another cookbook. Thanks! 🙂
I think my go-to cookbook is the internet. 😉 Thanks for the chance to win a physical one.

Love America’s Test Kitchen!
I love the magazine so I’m sure the book would be amazing! I love all cookbooks and cooking magazines ”” I’m trying to weed down my collection otherwise it’ll take over our house!
Guess I need to find one that can be my go to cookbook…this would be a great start!
I would love this book! I love america’s test kitchen! The joy of cooking and how to cook everything are my go too’s!
I love America’s Test Kitchen! I have their “Family Baking Book” which is a great resource. It helped me to become less intimidated about making a pie crust from scratch. Would love to add this book to my collection, too!
I also love joy of cooking, but have had my eye on this cookbook.
I love cooking, and I’m a pretty darn good cook. But can you believe I don’t have ANY of these cookbooks? I get most of my recipes from the web. But I think I need to start a collection – so I’d love to win this one to begin!
I really need a good, basic cookbook. I’ve heard really good things about America’s Test Kitchen, but I haven’t had the opportunity to check them out yet. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Love America’s Test Kitchen, but don’t own any of their cookbooks.
I love Americas Test Kitchen and the “Cooks” mag. They always have such interesting ways of cooking things. All their recipes are so yummy!! My family are always fans when I use on of their dinner ideas. I hope I win this book so I can try them all out!!
a lot of my recipes come from blogs…. so it would be lovely to add an actual book to my kitchen.
My go-to cookbook has always been Betty Crocker. Really helpful in the early days when I needed to know how to hard-boil eggs… I’ve been drooling over Cook’s Illustrated Make-Ahead Meals cookbook- love the descriptions of what they tried, how it worked, and where they went from there trying to get the recipe just right! Definitely on my wishlist.
Oh fun!! And I love reading all the comments here! I need all the help I can get. 🙂
I really love perusing old church cookbooks!
Usually check Church cookbooks or exentsion clubs.
I love all cookbooks!
I have a recipe book my grandmother made for me when I got married. I haven’t made a recipe out of there that my family hasn’t loved and eaten. It’s so personal and lovely. I will cherish it forever.
I make their chocolate chip cookies.
I love Cook’s Illustrated magazine and would love this cookbook!
Cooking in my crock pot is my all time favorite ways to cook. It’s so easy and it’s pretty difficult to mess up. One of my go-to cookbooks for crock pot recipes is Best of Country Slow Cooker Recipes. I would love this giveaway! It would give me a wonderful new repertoire of deliciousness!
I love cookbooks!! Would love to win this giveaway!
I love cookbooks although many (the dessert ones) are just for show. I will say that I use Joy of Cooking more these days than anything else. When I first started out in my own place, it was How to Cook Everything.
I’d love to peruse Cook’s Illustrated, I’ve heard great things about it.
Reading through cookbooks is how I relax.
I LOVE America’s Test Kitchen on PBS! I can’t wait to see this cookbook! 🙂
I love going thru cookbooks. My favorites tend to be the ones created by organizations (schools, church) where people submit their favorite recipes.
I would love to try this cookbook! My go-to books are all those by Ina Garten and Dorie Greenspan’s Baking From My Home to Yours.
I am a cookbook junkie and REALLY need to add this to my collection.
I love Ree’s (the PW!) Texas Sheet Cake!! Yum.
I have and love the America’s Test Kitchen cook book. I also have several of their Cook Illustrated magazines. Their thumbprint cookie and whoopie pie recipes are my all time faves. I would love to add this to my library.
I don’t have a favorite recipe from them – I’ve been meaning to check it out. This would give me the perfect excuse!
I love America’s Test Kitchen and I would L-O-V-E to have this book!! 🙂
I so need this!!!
Oh! I’d love to try some of those recipes out!
What a spectacular giveaway! I would be so excited to get my hands on all those recipes!
I DVR America’s Test Kitchen every week and have subscribed by email, EVERY recipe I have made from their website and/or cookbooks have been keepers. Will have to add this to my collection!
Would love this! They have a great recipe for turkey gravy I’d love to try out for Thanksgiving!
love the magazine! Especially when it compares different products! Would LOVE to win!
I love Cooks Ilkustrated magazine/America’s Test Kitchen. One of my favorite ways to relax is to read the magazine or watch the show!
I love the ATK beef tacos! We make them every couple of weeks and they’re always a huge hit all-around.
http://www.food.com/recipe/americas-test-kitchen-beef-tacos-314504
I love so many of their recipes it’s hard to pick just a few. This are the must have cookbooks. I love to pick up their magazine from Costco.
The Chicken Tikka Masala and Spaghetti al Limone from the magazine are in heavy rotation at my house. Mmmmmm.
I’d love a copy of this book! Their recipes are incredible.
I would love this cookbook. Right now my main sources are the joy of cooking, a recipe binder I have put togetherthroug the years and robin millers quick fix meals.
I don’t have a “go to” book really. So…I guess I need this one! I do like Everyday Food, however. It often have features on basic kitchen skills and recipes.
I’ve been wanting a subscription to Cook’s Illustrated for such a long time! My go-to cookbook is The Joy of Cooking–it really is a great cookbook! How to Cook Everything is also on my wishlist…
Oh, I’m going to have to get my hands on that Cook’s Illustrated cookbook, FOR SURE. I love America’s Test Kitchen so much. I used to DVR it and watch when I was up in the middle of the night with wee babies. My go-to cookbook is the Gourmet cookbook. 🙂
I would love this book! I love americas test kitchen! The joy of cooking is the best!
I love their recipes though even if I don’t win this new cookbook I should probably splurge and get it. It is not as convenient to troll through old issues of the magazine to find inspiration! I also often use simple J. Pepin recipes and D. Greenspan’s awesome Around My French Table, and for some more elaborate techniques I go to Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc At Home. Also, Balthazar and Marcella Hazan and older Chez Panisse ones. I am super excited to check out the new Nigel Slater “Tender” next.
Ahhh! I’d love another cookbook. The only one I own right now is a Williams Sonoma Chicken cookbook that I got for my birthday from a friend. And of course my binder o’ recipes, but I’m not sure how much that counts.
I have a Better Homes andGardens Illustrated Cookbook that is my go to cookbook. My husband gave it to me before we got married because he knew I liked cookbooks. After 25 years it is now filled with bookmarks of recipes I have made and the back cover has come off. I would LOVE this book to live with my other precious cookbooks.
The lemon cake recipe from Cooks Illustrated is my favorite, but I usually make it as cupcakes–instead of layering cake and lemon curd, I use the curd to fill the cupcakes, then cover the top with the icing.
I am always looking for new cookbooks and recipes- I would love to try this one!
Would love to win this!
My husband loves our Joy of Cooking, but I am partial to my Cooking Light cookbooks. I have heard great things about Cooks Illustrated. I would love to win this one. Thanks for hosting such an awesome give-a-way.
when i was younger and i used to babysit a mother had made a delicious snack. when i asked her what the recipe was she pulled out a cooks illustrated magazine and showed me why she loved it… the fact that they show you the possible problems and the causes/solutions…. hope i win!
Love America’s test kitchen and their magazines. I would love to win this book. I have made a few recipes and love their pot roast – terrific and yummy.
Hope I win…
I have two favorite recipes from The Test Kitchen: A farro risotto recipe and a creamy cauliflower soup (with no cream at all). Amazing and delicious. Would love to win this giveaway.
Sounds like I need to invest in three new cookbooks!
I don’t have one go-to book but I feel like I should after reading this. I got a lot of cookbooks for Christmas this year and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage Veg Everyday has proved invaluable! I like Jamie Oliver a lot too, but more for ideas than reference.
ohh, such a good giveaway! thanks!
e
The America’s Test Kitchen Family Cook Book is one of my very favorites. And within that book is one of my favorite recipes — red Thai beef curry.
I have heard great things about this cookbook – my go-to cookbooks right now are my Better Homes and Gardens and Betty Crocker cookbooks
This book would give me many more ideas for meal planning!
Love to have this book – I have their bbq book and it is amazing – have to for your summer grilling
Have heard great things about this cookbook and with a new baby coming in give-or-take 7 weeks (eek!) I could use all the cooking help I can get! 🙂
I always consult with Joy of cooking and also like practically all books of Claudia Roden.
I love cooks illustrated, they always explain why things are done the way they are … that makes me feel like they really know what they are doing and now I will too!
I LOVE cookbooks so much my husband has banned me from buying any more. But, if I win a new one, he can’t fight that one. Please pick me! I love cooks illustrated.
Awesome giveaway
Our favorite recipe right now is the Grilled Thin-Cut Pork Chops.
I love Cooks Illustrated – this would be a great addition to my kitchen.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I enjoy watching America’s Test Kitchen and perusing Cook’s Illustrated.com. My subscription is about to expire, so the book and one year of CI.com will come in handy.
these guys settle all cooking argument/discussions….
I have NEVER looked at these resources before…neither of them! Sounds like I need to get enlightened! Thanks, Jane!
Cooks Illustrated is fantastic! It take all the hard work and guessing out of cooking!
We love CI and have found it to be so useful! What a cool cookbook it must be!!
my go to cookbook is the “food” section on my google reader! 😉
Cooks Illustrated has LOOOOOOONG been my fool-proof recipe and gadget resource. They really understand food chemistry. Best never to deviate from their recipes as they’ve already tried every possible combination before settling on the perfect system for producing perfect results. Would love to own this perty cookbook. Regardless, love your blog, Jane.
My go to cookbooks are my stacks and stacks of everday food magazines and tons of recipes printed from the web of course!
I tried my first Cook’s Illustrated recipe last summer and loved it! It was a vegetarian pasta dish with a white wine/pesto sauce. Yum! Would love a whole book of such dishes!
I love their chicken with 40 cloves of garlic. Yummy! I love cook’s illustrated so much!
I love ATK’s Family Cookbook! I’ve been using so many of their recipes and they’re successes every time! I just made their pancakes and they were delicious!
I’ve been cooking with the “what’s in cupboard” method for so long that I’ve almost forgotten what it’s like to follow a recipe. Learning techniques is just what I need to do since I just recently rediscovered how to hard-boil an egg correctly!
I love their Raspberry Chocolate Torte. It’s restaurant quality and really not too much work. Super good!
My go to cookbook is Swedish “Bonniers Kokbok” and my sister gave it to me 19 years ago:) Love it!
I have never used one of their cookbooks, but for Christmas my mom gave me on their magazine versions that is smaller. It took forever to get it away from the hubs. He is an engineer and was loving the diagrams and explanations on everything!
I really like my older America’s Test Kitchen cookbook & would LOVE to win the Cook’s Illustrated one 🙂
LOVE both CI and ATK. In particular, I love their healthified versions of enchiladas and other yummy dishes.
I would LOVE a copy of this book since I believe it is never too late to become a better cook.
Thanks!!
I would just like to win this so I could have a subscription to cooks illustrated. I’ve looked longingly through friends copies, but never had them myself. Thanks for the chance to win.
I saw this cookbook on AM Northwest and have wanted to get one for my own! I tried their recipe called The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie and it is now my families favorite!
I love America’s test kitchen. I make so many recipes from the magazines. My latest favorite is the Weeknight Roast chicken. One hour and a delicious chicken, and the pan sauce is great too!.
I would love to own this fantastic cookbook…..thank you for the chance to win!
I am trying to cook more, so this would be great!
I’d love to add to my cookbooks. I usually just look online, but I’d love to have a tried and true cookbook like this!
Oh! How a new cookbook will fill the void when my first born shuffles off the college in September…and would surely seal the deal that he will return, repeatedly!
I love Cooks Illustrated!! I found the worlds best blueberry muffin recipe in one of their magazines.
Drop biscuits!! Perfect every time (love the melted butter technique)
Brownies….a family member that doesn’t cook nearly as much as I do gave me the recipe and at the time introduced me to Cook’s Illustrated. I don’t often prefer semisweet chocolate to milk chocolate but YUM! And I check out the Cook’s Illustrated now and then. What a great cookbook, though!
I love Cook’s Illustrated. Pick Me!
I would love a new cookbook! I need new ideas!
I would love a new “go-to” cookbook! I am currently a little burnt out of meal planning, because I feel like I make the same meals every week and I am pregnant with our first little one, so fresh Ideas would be marvelous! :o) Thanks for this giveaway Jane!
Nice! Even if I don’t win I’m going to buy it!
I love their Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake!
Pasta With Garlic Oil and Toasted Breadcrumbs is one of my favorite recipes from Cook’s Illustrated.
Thanks for the giveaway!
we love cook’s illustrated!
My Better Homes and Gardens book is well worn. I also like Everyday Food magazine. I have heard many good things about this cookbook, so thanks for the giveaway!
I love Cook’s Illustrated and would have a lot of fun cooking in the kitchen with a new cook book 🙂
Yay! Thank you so much Jane and America’s Test Kitchen! I am so excited about my new cookbook!
you’re welcome! 🙂
I love cooks illustrated. Thank u so much
