Excellent cookbook especially if you are a fan of the television show.So many great recipes, all levels
of ease or difficulty.I did find it a bit disappointing that most products used had an ad in the recipe,photo and all. But overall a great cookbook.I am going to try a crumble recipe.

Moving this to the Read shelf, but I did not read it all. I have used it several times (cooking steak tips are right on target) and look forward to using it in our new kitchen. Definitely worth every penny. (Well, I got it free on Kindle).

I really enjoy the America's Test Kitchen cookbooks, because they have a lot of good reviews on kitchen utensils and gadgets as well as products such as broth, tomato paste, etc. However, the recipes are often more involved than I am able to make. I still love reading the cookbooks, though!

If you like Cook's Illustrated and their methods, this book is great. It saves buying the magazine too, as it's a selection from the year's publications.
