Summary: Near Perfect
Comment: Bought this for my wife because she enjoys the show. We have tried many of the recipes in it and have not disliked a single one. Some of the recipes we tried are now family favorites, hands down! Not only are the recipes superb, but the instructions are easy to follow and the product recommendations and substitution suggestions push this cookbook far above others. The only faults lie in a few difficult to come by or expensive ingredients as well as the far too flimsy pages (which they have improved in the newer addition). If you enjoy cooking: buy this without hesitation.

Summary: first cookbook I've ever enjoyed using
Comment: I have been cooking for a few years now, and everytime someone gave me a cookbook I'd look at it, get bored or frustrated by the layout, and ultimately I'd forget about it. Why would I waste my time pouring over a book that might not even have the recipe I want when I could just zip over to [...]and get a peer-reviewed recipe that was just what I was expecting?
This book makes it easy to find a recipe by type of food in case you don't know 'exactly' what you want to make, gives you inumerable suggestions for variations to personalize the dish or ingredients to substitute if your pantry is low, and has always had any recipe I've needed. I go to this book first anytime I need to cook/ bake/ whatever--and so far it has always been delightful.

Summary: Great for a beginner....
Comment: I am always looking for a good cook book. I love to test new recipes as well as spend the quality time cooking and baking with my children. So, when I read the reviews for this book, I thought, WOW I have to have this one! However, upon receiving it, I was disappointed at the content. It is very much for the beginner and the recipes...not exactly up my alley. I bought this before Christmas and still have yet to make one thing out of it. I am not saying "Don't buy it." Just get a little more info about it if you are not the beginner cook. I am planning to use one of the recipes soon though, so who knows, I may change my mind.

Summary: Only one you will need
Comment: I only wish I had bought this book years ago. I would have saved us a lot of money as well as shelf space in our kitchen. This is the only one you will need. We now give these out to newly weds as wedding presents. Nothing we have cooked has been a disappointment. Very good buy....

Many years in the making, this comprehensive cookbook delivers more than 1,200 foolproof recipes for classic American family fare in a clear, accessible style. Beautiful step-by-step photos illuminate every conceivable technique from chopping shallots and skinning salmon to cutting up a chicken and tying a roast. In fact, just about anything you want (or need) to do in the kitchen will be explained in these pages in the test kitchen’s approachable, no-nonsense voice. In addition, the recipes will keep you busy (and your friends and family happy) for years to come since we’ve included hundreds of easy weeknight dishes (like Skillet Lasagna and One-Pot Chicken and Rice), company and holiday-worthy dinners (like Beef Burgundy, Roast Leg of Lamb, and Fresh Fruit Trifle), dozens of menus, shopping tips, equipment ratings and more. A cooking tutorial between two covers, The America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook is the one and only basic cookbook you'll need, covering every course, from appetizers to desserts, and including chapters on breakfast, sandwiches, sauces and condiments, and beverages. Friendly test kitchen tips accompany nearly every recipe and point out either where you might go wrong or a special technique or ingredient that makes the recipe successful. Helpful charts (like a primer on steaming vegetables or cooking grains) and Cooking 101 pages (covering topics like brining, cheese, and crudité) make this a reference unlike any other. Bound to get America back into the kitchen again, this is a family cookbook for generations to come.
