The New Best Recipe
Brought to you by the editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine (our friends from America's Test Kitchen), this book has taken all the trial and error and guesswork out of the recipes included - and the two inch thick book boasts 1000 recipes! The chefs behind these recipes have tried everything possible - wondering how to make the best pot roast? They tried every cut of meat imaginable, cooked in every way possible, to arrive at the very best results, then share that recipe with you. If you're a real foodie you can read about their experimentation - but if you just need the right recipe pronto, then skip the explanation and start cooking, assured that you'll have a wonderful result.
I've taken to giving this cookbook as a wedding present - it's a great book to get anyone cooking great!
Although I would much rather call Berit to ask her what I should do with ____________? I find myself often referencing this very large compendium of almost everything I like to eat. It may even replace Betty the Crock as my go to cookbook. I wonder what my mother will say?
The New Best Recipe is a compilation of many volumes of Cook's Illustrated. The book is great from a reference standpoint, and I have yet to find an American dish that isn't covered. One feature that I especially like: the techniques in the book are explained, not just used (e.g. how to flambe, how to stir scrambled eggs for your preferred result). Like The Joy of Cooking and Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book, the book includes some basics of cooking, like what the various cuts of meat are and
5 stars- Ms. Jenn
If you want to dive into how a dish should be cooked, this is the book. Every once in a while you want to dig down and learn more about the dish, this is your book Cooks Illustrated has to be the best.
I have checked this book out of the library twice and been disappointed twice. The recipes are a lot of work and the results are just ok.
This is a great cookbook. Everything I have tried not only came out looking great but had great reviews! It is much more realistic on time required, etc. It is now my favorite cooibook.

It's hard for me to name my favorite cookbook - largely because I have nearly 500 of them and if truth be told I read them more than cook from them. But if one of my clients or friends wants to know what book to add to their collection, this is near the top of the lists.Brought to you by the editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine (our friends from America's Test Kitchen), this book has taken all the trial and error and guesswork out of the recipes included - and the two inch thick book boasts 1000 recipes!
