What a fantastic Book! This is one of the first cookbooks by Cook's Illustrated that I bought and it is still one of my favorites. The recipes are just Great but, what I love most is that they teach you about each recipe. They start each recipe off with at least 1/2 to a full page of information and history about the recipe. This book really jump started me in my expanded knowledge of baking/cooking. I was already a natural at following a recipe and having it turn out nice, but this book started me on my journey for even better skills. It was like taking a cooking class without leaving my home. This was the first cookbook I sat down and just read before I made a thing. Here are some of the recipes I highly recommend from this book - Snickerdoodles Cookie - Very nice texture and taste. Peanut Butter Cookie - Best I have ever had, nice peanut butter flavor and texture. Oatmeal Cookie - Another Wow! Not just another oatmeal cookie. Crescent Cookie - My Grandma & Great Grandma Love me everytime I show up with these. They love them with their coffee. Lemon Bars - Again very nice texture and lemon flavor. If you love to bake or cook this is a great book to have in your library. You will not be disappointed.Read full review
This cookbook has it all….tested forwards and backwards. Perfect for beginner and seasoned cooks. Much more expensive at Amazon so shop EBay. There aren’t color photos though only a few b & w and a few illustrations which is a letdown to me but it’s still and an older great cookbook.

It is a cookbook meant to be read. It is their take on ingredients and classic menus. It was a gift to my wife who is a reader and also a cookbook reader. I think she enjoyed it and frequently mentioned to me where she had different ideas from the authors. But, I feel she was won over by them when they mentioned that the trendy polenta is nothing more than cornmeal mush (which she has always loved).

Cooks illustrated is a well known cooking magazine. That is very precise and explanatory in their recipes. And you get something from them and make the best tasting food. Incredibly great for young cooks or chefs to learn from.
