The Absolute Best Way to Do Almost Anything in the Kitchen
The first book on technique from America's Test Kitchen showcases 100 groundbreaking techniques that will transform your cooking life, paired with more than 200 creative, modern recipes that put the techniques into real-world, home-kitchen practice. From making the most tender burger patties to grill-roasting a leg of lamb, from making pan sauces for cutlets to simmering homemade duck confit, from griddling the fluffiest pancakes to tempering chocolate, making caramel, and baking French pastry, the test cooks of ATK shine their spotlight on simpler, smarter, foolproof strategies.
The first section, Essentials Every Home Cook Should Know, covers core techniques. Learn why it's crucial to season with salt properly before and during cooking for the best Roasted Bone-In Chicken Breasts and Crispy Salt and Pepper Shrimp. Cook any piece of salmon to silky perfection through our high-low roasting technique. The middle section, Techniques You Didn't Know You Couldn't Live Without, includes techniques we developed from an unexpected angle of discovery. Bake crusty, golden, bubbly-topped pizza by using a skillet. Fry easy, restaurant-quality homemade French fries by starting the potatoes in room-temperature oil. The final section, The Bucket List, gives you the know-how to make dreamed-about projects come true. Barbecue true Texas beef ribs in a standard kettle grill. Cure your own bacon or gravlax in your refrigerator. Bake, assemble, and decorate a show-stopping layer cake for any special occasion.

Title: Excellent Book
Review: I like this book, but there werenât 100 techniques in it. I think the authors (or publisher) fell in love with the title and created a book to fit it. Nonetheless, lots of pointers here for the novice who is moving out of the house.

Title: Incredibly instructional
Review: I have only taken a real interest in cooking since switching to a ketogenic lifestyle a few years ago, so my culinary knowledge thus far has been scraped together from cooking shows and the internet. This book is my first resource from which I intend to learn proper cooking techniques and theory. I am a bit of an academic nerd type, and I thoroughly appreciate the structure of this book.There are three primary parts in the body of this book: Part I - Essentials Every Home Cook Should Know; Part II - Techniques You Didn't Know You Couldn't Live Without; and Part III - The Bucket List. Each part is divided into subsections by technique (e.g. Make Roux for Rich Sauces, Sear Scallops for Tender, Golden Results, Butcher Whole Chicken for Custom Parts, etc.). Each technique subsection begins with a page of text on the technique, followed by a page of illustrations to accompany the information. After that, there is a selection of recipes that apply those techniques. Each recipe is preceded by a paragraph titled, "Why This Recipe Works." Most techniques include an average of 2-5 recipes.At the end of the three techniques content, a Nutritional Information for Our Recipes section, a Conversions and Equivalents section, and a proper Index section.While there are not photographs included with every recipe, if one is so inclined, photos may be found online with a search of the recipe title, along with the author, America's Test Kitchen.I cannot attest to the recycling of recipes or information, as this is my first ATK book, but as a first-time ATK customer, this is exactly what I wanted in an educational culinary text.

Title: Best cookbook ever!
Review: I first borrowed this book from my local library and said that if there are at least three recipes that taste good, I would buy it. Everything I've made from this book has been delicious so I decided to purchase it and I continued to be satisfied each time I make a recipe. I've made the flour tortillas, the green bean recipe, the grilled mojo marinated skirt steak, chicken breast with the apricot sauce and the shaved zucchini ribbon salad.Before this book I was finding it challenging to find recipes that weren't bland and this book has made me excited about cooking again. I cancelled my Blue Apron subscription so that my grocery budget would go to exploring the recipes and techniques in this book.

Title: good book for beginners and more experienced cooks
Review: I loved the many detailed explanations of different techniques and the fact that I now feel better equipped to try things Iâve always been wary of. This book could be much improved with more drawings and photos.

Title: Great Cookbook
Review: I have a lot of ATK cookbooks, and I'm so happy to have added this one to my collection. The techniques alone are worth the price of the book, but the added benefit are the wonderful recipes. Initially, I borrowed the book from of our local library, and liked it so much that I had to purchase a copy for myself. Highly recommend.

Title: Worthwhile to improve your cooking skills
Review: I've been cooking for many years and find this cookbook very helpful. I've tried their recipes for chicken, fish, salad, vegetables, beans, and an amazing cherry pie. My husband thinks everything I made from this cookbook is WONDERFUL and I must agree that everything has been very tasty. The crust on the cherry pie was the best I have ever made. The instructions are clear and helpful. I am so pleased with my purchase that I bought a book for both my son and daughter.

Title: Great book
Review: This was a fantastic purchase. The techniques that I have tried have been great. I especially loved the homemade ice cream recipes because I don't have an ice cream maker. The content was fabulous. I perused it and took lots of notes before I gave it away as a gift.
