If you’ve been reading this site for some time, you know that I’m a huge fan of America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Illustrated. They are my go-to when I’m looking for a classic recipe or a hard-to-master technique. Their approach to recipes and all of the working and re-working they do results in guaranteed kitchen success. I can’t ever remember being disappointed by one of their recipes; they all just work. This fall, America’s Test Kitchen released a number of new cookbooks and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them.
The Complete America’s Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook and The Complete Cook’s Country TV Show Cookbook are compilations of the recipes, reviews and tests from all of the seasons for each show. They’re definitely a foodie gold mine!
The America’s Test Kitchen DIY Cookbook is a dream come true for anyone who loves to tackle from-scratch kitchen projects. I’ve been doing more of this over the past year, and this book just pushed me further over the edge. The book includes amazing homemade versions of yogurt, mozzarella, root beer, torrone, ketchup, pickles and even prosciutto! It’s a given that I’m going to attempt every single recipe in this book!
The Science of Good Cooking is both a resource book and a cookbook, explaining and illustrating 50 basic cooking concepts that the home cook can use to gain a better understanding of the science behind ingredients and methods, and how to make them work successfully together. Along with the explanations are over 400 recipes to go along with the concepts. A fantastic kitchen resource!
America’s Test Kitchen recently launched their own Cooking School, where you have access to over 100 courses that you can take at your own pace. The courses include photography, video, illustrations and even quizzes. You even have the ability to communicate one-on-one with the ATK test cooks if you need guidance or would like to receive feedback.
Today, I’m thrilled to be giving away ALL of these goodies (including a membership to the cooking school)! Read below for instructions on how to enter!

I love my church cookbook – great for basic go to recipes and I also like Joy of Cooking for those extraordinary recipes – I really find most of my newer recipes online and in my plethora of cooking magazines.
My favorite cookbook depends on what I’m making. For desserts it is hands down a Maida Heatter cookbook, but for savory recipes it would be America’s Test Kitchen. I love the explanation that accompanies each recipe. Thanks for a fabulous giveaway.

We love America’s Test Kitchens, even my 5 year old watches the show! To be completely honest we’ve been using the internet for recipes lately. But when we need to look something up we tend to use the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook or the America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook.

The cookbook I am most proud to cook from is my little sister’s first published book: From The Ovens of Good & Evil. A collection of heathly baked goods along with their sinfully delicious counterparts!
My favorite cookbook is not one that I really use. It is a Domino Sugar flip-top cookbook that my mom had when I was young. I used to love to look at the hand drawn illustrations that went along with the recipe pictures.

LOVE this giveaway! I discovered the book in the Barnes & Noble in Union Square last weekend, but a big heavy book and walking around Manhattan for the day do not go hand in hand. Hmm…one favorite book. It’s tough to narrow it down! I think I’ll have to go with Warm Bread and Honey Cake. I love the international component and it has a combination of both sweet and savory.

I have lots of favorite cookbooks; however, my Cookbook Bible is a 1955 Ladies Home Companion cookbook my mother gave me when I left home. The poor book has become so worn looking from constant use.
Hard to say but probably Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home. So good!
My favorite cookbook is “How to Cook Everything” –such a great resource!
I like you on fb
My favorite cook book is America’s Test Kitchen Family Recipes. There hasn’t been one bad thing we have made from it. I also love cooks illustrated. My brother has a subscription and every time I visit him I read through them. I’m still trying to talk my husband into a subscription!
