Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Peruvian arroz con pollo

    • bwhip on May 20, 2024

      Delicious dish, and not at all difficult to prepare. I found the Aji Amarillo paste on Amazon, and used just under two tablespoons in the recipe. I could have probably used a little more, and it wouldn't have been overwhelmingly spicy. My wife can't stand cilantro, so even though the recipe says that cooking it renders it less offensive to those who dislike it, I used Italian parsley as a substitute. The Sarza Criolla is a perfect acidic accompaniment.

  • Sicilian pasta with sardines and anchovies (Pasta con le sarde)

      We liked this, but didn't love it, not sure why exactly. I added some baby greens at the end for more veg, which helped balance the richness of the fish.

Publishers Text

Cook's Illustrated is dedicated to finding the best methods for preparing foolproof home-cooked meals. Unlike some glossy cooking magazines, our magazine is staffed with cooks and editors not food stylists. Our 2,500 square foot test kitchen ó the same kitchen in which we film our public television show, America's Test Kitchen ó has three dozen full-time test cooks whose 9 to 5 job (well maybe 7 to 6 on baking days) is testing and retesting recipes 20, 30, sometimes 50 times until we can offer our readers a recipe we're confident will work every time. (Of course you have to promise to follow our recipes for those foolproof results.)

We also offer ratings and reviews of cookware and kitchen equipment to inform you how different models compare and compete so that you can shop smart. We taste test supermarket ingredients and kitchen staples you use every day, so you know which brands taste best, and which are best avoided. And because Cook's Illustrated is 100% advertising FREE, you get unbiased, objective information.
