Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Sesame-lemon cucumber salad

    • ShayLRoss on March 26, 2026

      A simple recipe that calls for a few Asian pantry ingredients for a tangy cucumber salad, especially if you don't want a cream-based sauce. It's fine, doesn't stand out in any way.

  • Mashed sweet potatoes

    • wkhull on March 27, 2023

      This was good but a little fatty for our tastes. The cooking method was fantastic.

  • Sour cream coffee cake with brown sugar-pecan streusel

    • foolcontrol on February 05, 2018

      This may be the best coffee cake I have eaten. I have been making a lot of coffee cakes trying to find the best one. It may be hard to beat this one.

  • Flourless chocolate cake

    • sandbox on January 12, 2014

      Cut in 1/4 to make in 2 mini tart pans. Cooks in about 20 minutes.

Publishers Text

The companion cookbook to the acclaimed public television series, Here in America's Test Kitchen brings you everything - every recipe, every kitchen equipment test, every tasting, every discovery, even every flop from the 2003 season. Best of all, this handsome, photo-filled volume lets you share the discoveries and fun on your schedule - not the network's!

From the search for perfectly crisp - not flabby and greasy - Buffalo wings to the best cherry cobbler that pairs real cherry flavor with a tender, feather-light biscuit topping, this companion volume puts you right at the side of the America's Test Kitchen detectives. Unlike most television shows and cookbooks, however, this one gives you a close-up look at their failures as well as their successes. After months of testing, their recipes for lemon meringue pie, twice-baked potatoes, and pan-roasted chicken are reliable because they've tested dozens of possible ways (including many failures) of making them.

In the pages of Here in America's Test Kitchen, you'll get a behind-the-scenes view of how they test recipes, taste-test foods, and put cookware through its paces. You'll meet the cooks, the editors, the tasters, the directors, and the rest of the staff. Filled with candid shots and 32 pages of color photos, you will get an intimate portrait of the inner workings of the Cook's test kitchen.

America's Test Kitchen is all about discovering how cooking really works, rooting out the bad recipes, and identifying the methods and techniques that produce real winners. Now you can have all of the recipes, the techniques, the taste-tests, the equipment ratings, and the shortcuts from our 2003 season in one volume.
