The Man In The Brown Shorts™ brought me a box tonight that I needed both hands to lift:
OMG, what a tome! Every single recipe (over 900!), equipment test, and taste test, ever done on America's Test Kitchen, one of my favorite PBS programs and a main reason I bought an OTA DVR (mid-Saturday afternoon should be spent on skiing, riding, hiking, etc). A lot of the recipes on the show are given in the magazine Cook's Illustrated, of which I have a huge pile, but finding a specific recipe when the mood strikes is a pain; as a subscriber I got this volume for about $25, helluva deal!
This team takes not-so-esoteric recipes and tries variation after variation, to zero in on the Best Recipe. They've only let me down once (a sesame-coated salmon) and damned if I can improve on any of the recipes they publish. It'll be fun leafing through this one and trying recipes I've missed before. I do need to find a different way to prop it up in the kitchen; as I said this thing weighs a ton!
At last count (and this was years ago) I had 63 cookbooks; I'll probably post here about different favorites (as I did recently with Adam Perry Lang's Serious Barbeque). Post your favorites!
