Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

America's Test Kitchen has run on public television for 20 years, and in this sharp cookbook, the editors present the show's ultimate recipes for popular foods. Each recipe begins with an explanation of successful preparations: tandoori-style chicken is roasted, then broiled for char, and for a boneless short rib dish, gelatin is sprinkled into the braising liquid to "restore suppleness." Eleven show personalities are profiled up front and then appear throughout to share their personal takes: Massachusetts native and hot artichoke dip--fan Becky Hays serves fish and chips with newspaper spread on the table, and ATK taste-test expert Jack Bishop offers home-baked baguettes. ATK's broad reach means that a chapter on soups includes both a Brazilian fish and shellfish stew as well as a classic chicken noodle, and the grilling section features spicy African peri peri chicken, and burgers with three toppings. No dish is too basic to be dissected (a boiled corn on the cob recipe analyzes the chemical structure of the kernels), and specific brands are recommended, such as King Arthur bread flour for bagels. ATK fans may note some repetition between books, such as a trio of pies (skillet apple, blueberry, and summer berry) that appear in their recently published The Perfect Pie. That aside, ATK's precision and testing result in reliable, thoroughly enjoyable dishes. (Oct.)

Review by Library Journal Review

This collection from America's Test Kitchen is densely packed with recipes and know-how gleaned from 20 years of the long-running America's Test Kitchen show on PBS. Many entries include information about varying the base recipe by using different seasonings or ingredients. However, the book lacks an index, making it difficult to find specific recipes. In addition, the book doesn't include an an overall table of contents, though a recipe list is featured at the beginning of each chapter. The real highlight is the cast confidential section, which offers biographies of the contributing chefs, and includes their advice and beloved cookbooks. VERDICT Despite some flaws, this volume would be helpful for home cooks interested in honing their techniques and building upon a base repertoire of recipes.--Dawn Lowe-Wincentsen, Oregon Inst. of Technology, Portland
