"If you are just learning to cook or you are a "seasoned" cook, this book has something for you. I love that America's test kitchen has done all the reasearch for me so I don't have to worry if a recipe is going to work or not. The recipe for baby back ribs on the grill is out of this world. There are just too many good recipes to mention. I found my copy at a TJMax and only spent about $14.00 on it. Well worth the investment."
"the only reason that this doesn't get a full 5 star rating is it's lack of pictures for everything....i'm big on pics....aside from that, i think this is just a great cookbook that really shines in all the extras that are outside of the recipes...like what are the best canned white beans out there....where else are you getting that in a cookbook???"
"I have the original book and can vouch for the fact that every recipe I have tried is outstanding. Mind you, I hate to cook, but with a family I have to create meals every day. The book tells you what is the best way to prepare basic recipes. My favorites: the best mac & cheese, carrots with mustard and brown sugar, 6 minute fish fillets with balsamic vinegar dressing. It is my go to book when I have no idea how to prepare something. I have bought for my kids when they moved into their first apartments."
"I cannot say enough how wonderful this cookbook really is. The recipes are not only perfect, but they are foolproof (as long as you follow the directions and avoid improvising). Out of all the cookbooks I own, I find myself turning to this one over and over again. I've made many an impressive, professional-looking (and tasting) recipe out of this book, and I just keep telling people it's because the recipes are perfect. Some of my favorites are the Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, the Spaghetti with Meatballs, and the Classic Apple Pie."
