Publishers Text

The editors of Cook's Illustrated have developed and tested countless recipes for America's favorite foods, such as macaroni and cheese, chili, meatloaf, and apple pie. There's a reason these dishes are thought of as comfort food, a big helping of chicken and dumplings or lasagna makes you feel good when it's cold outside, and when the pressures of everyday life build up.

So the last thing you want when you're making comfort food is a recipe that causes you stress. It's happened to all of us ... you gathered your ingredients for the "best" roast chicken or beef stew, carefully followed every step of the recipe, and ended up with a meal that was disappointing at best. That's why our test kitchen has spent countless hours and thousands of dollars on groceries to develop what truly are the very best recipes for the comfort foods we know you love (because we love them, too).

Learn the century-old method we revived for moist and juicy Batter-Fried Chicken. Find out what unusual ingredient we rely on to make our Creamless Creamy Tomato Soup rich and thick. And see the trick that makes the tender layers of our Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits bake up tall and even. We include our picks for the best performing equipment and the best tasting ingredients to help you shop smarter, as well as a 2-page spread on Mastering the Art of Stew which helps you get this quintessential comfort food right every time. Stress-free cooking with Recipes that Work. Now that's our definition of comfort food.
