Review:absolutely the best book series that I have ever read. I have read the whole series 3 times. I have always been an avid reader but never felt the need to reread a book but each time I go back I read something that I don't remember from before. I highly recommend it. Read more
Review:I've been having fun going thru this book. The recipes I've tried thus far have been pretty easy. The only criticism I'd give it would be to be a little more descriptive on some of the cooking terms for the cooking illiterate, like myself.

Postman argues that television, especially when compared to the written word, cannot foster deep, rational thought in its viewers, because it requires absolute passivity from them.

Review:America's Test Kitchen publishes probably the best complete cookbook ever created. American's Test Kitchen thoroughly tests, retests, updates, and improves every recipe before it is published in their cookbook. As a matter of fact, every recipe I have ever tried in this cookbook over the past three years has turned out perfect. Love this book! Read more
Review:I have been watching the TV show and so purchased the book. I have tried a few recipes and .am pleased with the results. Thai chicken was the latest recipe I have tried and maybe again soon.
