  • Kimchi

    • dinnermints on May 05, 2016

      Good, but a bit sweet for kimchi. I noticed that this version adds way more sugar than more traditional recipes I've seen. Also, not sure why the author states that it will only last two weeks in the fridge...sort of ridiculous for kimchi, which is still slowly fermenting and will probably be good for much, much longer than that.

Every recipe in this book has been kitchen-tested to ensure that it s not only manageable and fun for home cooks but, more important, also foolproof.

Stunning photography and detailed captions explain every step in every recipe. If you've always thought that making mozzarella, curing pancetta, and brewing beer sound intimidating, try our recipes. The combination of easy-to-follow photography capturing the recipe process and clear, approachable first-person captions by the recipes authors puts home cooks at ease. You'll also discover what inspires the people behind America's Test Kitchen the test cooks, editors, and staffers as they share the stories behind their recipes development.

A wide variety of D.I.Y. projects means that there's something here for everyone. Unlike typical D.I.Y. books that focus on one category, this book delivers a wide variety of projects, from jams and pickles like Grandma used to make to artisanal cheeses and cured meats that you usually have to pay top dollar for at a specialty shop. You'll even learn how to make many of your favorite store-bought guilty pleasures (think potato chips and chocolate sandwich cookies). The test kitchen has also developed recipes for beverages like root beer, cold-brew coffee, and vermouth. There's something here for all interests and skill levels, whether you're a seasoned pro or simply a curious cook.
