Use this book and you will make wonderful pies! Our family loves the apple pie and the chocolate cream and the banana cream. But the best thing is the crust recipe. You'll get a reputation for really knowing how to make pies! This is a succinct little book at a minimal price. My only surprise is that they did not use Clearjel as a thickener. It's Great!             America's Test Kitchen Live!: The All-New Companion to America's Favorite Public Television Cooking Series ...7 reviews America's Test Kitchen, 2004 But use your own judgment I absolutely love ATK and buy all of their books. The techniques they present are top notch and as close to bulletproof as you can get. I find the spicing a little mild for my tastes so I usually amp that up a bit. Tasting results are the aggregated opinion of several people so some of the more unusual flavors you might get a kick out of may be rounded out in the math.             The Best Recipe204 reviews Editors of Cook's Illustrated Magazine Boston Common Press, 1999 Truly the best recipe! This cookbook is one of my most ragged cookbooks. It is the one I look for when I want to fix something special or homey. The stew recipe is absolutely the best!

They explain exactly what to do and why to do it that way. In my experience, cookbooks of any sort (especially restaurant cookbooks by celebrity chefs) tend to suffer from poor writing and give uneven results. This one does not. To my palate, perhaps one ...             Italian Classics (The Best Recipe Series)11 reviews Boston Common Press, 2002 Excellent Italian reference for American cooks A passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years, concentrating on Italian cooking for the last 10 years, writes this review.

As someone who consider's themselves an elite "home chef", I stopped using recipe books years ago and just built on the basics that I'd gleaned from reading what I considered the "essential" cookbooks. Then, one stormy Saturday afternoon when the husband was at work and the kids were away at Grandma's, I stumbled on America's Test Kitchen on PBS. Needless to say, I loved what I saw. Now I am a ...             The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition with 1,000 Recipes199 reviews Editors of Cook's Illustrated Magazine America's Test Kitchen, 2004 Classic! I agree with one of the reviewers that he/she feels like a pro using the "The Best" series. I've cooked from this book and several of "The Best" Series and they ALL came up excellent according to the people and guests to whom I'd served them: from Asian to Italian to restaurant cooking, and many more. It takes away the guessing from what I've been doing. I agree with the editors that their books ...             How to Make Ice Cream: An Illustrated Step-By-Step Guide to Perfect Ice Cream (Cook's Illustrated How to Cook)11 reviews Cook's Illustrated Magazine Boston Common Press, 1997 The PERFECT ice cream book! I've never been moved to write a review before, but after my first successful batch of ice-cream (following many miserable failures) - I decided that I must share my joy. First of all, this is a lovely little hard bound book. It will take up a tiny space on your shelves - and, most importantly, it is easy to hold with one hand while you are fastidiously stirring custard with the other. ...             The Cook's Illustrated Guide To Grilling And Barbecue: A Practical Guide for the Outdoor Cook21 reviews America's Test Kitchen, 2005 Fantastic! I'm not much of a meat eater, but wanted to be able to cook really good meat when I grill. This book may make me a meat lover! Each recipe is very educational as they explain many of the methods they tried before determining the best method for grilling a particular item.
