The Cook's Illustrated Cookbook
The Cook's Illustrated Cookbook | Cook's Illustrated
6 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
The ultimate recipe resource: an indispensable treasury of more than 2,000 foolproof recipes and 150 test kitchen discoveries from the pages of Cook's Illustrated magazine. There is a lot to know about cooking, more than can be learned in a lifetime, and for the last 20 years we have been eager to share our discoveries with you, our friends and readers. The Cook's Illustrated Cookbook represents the fruit of that labor. It contains 2,000 recipes, representing almost our entire repertoire. Looking back over this work as we edited this volume, we were reminded of some of our greatest hits, from Foolproof Pie Dough (we add vodka for an easy-to-roll-out but flaky crust), innumerable recipes based on brining and salting meats (our Brined Thanksgiving Turkey in 1993 launched a nationwide trend), Slow-Roasted Beef(we salt a roast a day in advance and then use a very low oven to promote a tender, juicy result), Poached Salmon (a very shallow poaching liquid steams the fish instead of simmering it in water and robbing it of flavor), and the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies (we brown the butter for better flavor). Our editors handpicked more than 2,000 recipes from the pages of the magazine to form this wide-ranging compendium of our greatest hits. More than just a great collection of foolproof recipes, The Cook's Illustrated Cookbook is also an authoritative cooking reference with clear hand-drawn illustrations for preparing the perfect omelet, carving a turkey, removing meat from lobsters, frosting a layer cake, shaping sandwich bread, and more. 150 test kitchen tips throughout the book solve real home-cooking problems such as how to revive tired herbs, why you shouldn't buy trimmed leeks, what you need to know about freezing and thawing chicken, when to rinse rice, and the best method for seasoning cast-iron (you can even run it through the dishwasher). An essential collection for fans of Cook's Illustrated (and any discerning cook), The Cook's Illustrated Cookbook will keep you cooking for a lifetime - and guarantees impeccable results.

1. I don‘t have a favorite- these days i just google recipes
2. No! Two different things!
3. I can‘t pick just one! Alton Brown, Nigella Lawson, the Two Fat Ladies, April Bloomfield (i love documentaries about chefs and food)
Cottage cheese and Chili Cheese Fritos. ( i use the chips like little spoons to scoop up the cottage cheese!)

JoScho That is weird but I would totally try it 😋 6y
Kelican17 I think you should 😁 and let me know what you think! 6y
TheKidUpstairs April Bloomfield is awesome. My husband and I had lunch at The Spotted Pig when we were in NYC for our honeymoon. I loved everything about the place. 6y
Kelican17 @TheKidUpstairs that‘s awesome! I love listening to her talk about/make food! I‘ve been watching her on The Mind of a Chef on Netflix 😊 6y

TricksyTails Ohmygoodness!! 🤤🤤🤤 Quick! Teleport some please! 🥔🛸😍😍😍 6y
mabell @JenlovesJT47 So good! ❤️ 6y
mabell @TricksyTails There is a slight absence of leftovers 😅😂 6y
JenlovesJT47 @TricksyTails you need to try them! Super easy and so yummy!! 😋 6y
TricksyTails @mabell No leftovers? 😭 The testament of a truly great recipe! Is this the one you emailed me a while back @JenlovesJT47 ? These are the famous Crack Potatoes? I think I need to get the ingredients tomorrow. What‘s the best dish to go with these Crack Potatoes? 6y
JenlovesJT47 @TricksyTails hmm I dunno, they are delicious by themselves! 😅maybe some type of chicken? 6y
TricksyTails @JenlovesJT47 Just looked at the recipe. I‘ll make it with the Roasted Garlic Clove Chicken! Question: where do you find bags of real bacon bits? I‘ve seen the artificial stuff they use on salads but don‘t think I‘ve seen bags of real bacon. 6y
JenlovesJT47 @TricksyTails I usually find them right next to the fake ones (the fake ones are good, too!). They usually have the fake ones in plastic bottles and the real ones are either in glass bottles or little bags. 🥓🥓🥓 6y
TricksyTails @JenlovesJT47 Thank you! I will look when I‘m at the store next! 😋🥓 6y

Listen up y'all, this is the only cookbook you will ever need and I am obsessed with it. Literally every recipe I have tried has been AMAZING, especially the pies!! They test each recipe with a number of different factors, and tell you why it works. Beautiful. I'm in love. 😍
