I have been buying America's Test Kitchen magazines for a few years now and have branched out to the cookbooks as well. I decided to buy this one as it contains 2,000 recipes! Anything you can think of is contained in this cookbook and I have yet to make anything that didn't turn out amazing. The book is not just recipes either...there are recommendations for appliances and all sorts of kitchen gadgets and it is not always the most expensive that receives the highest rating. It includes step by step diagrams and little tips and tricks. It is worth buying as every cook should have this in their kitchen.
