Cooking for Two 2011 is a collection of our year's best recipes customized to serve two. This popular annual has new features for 2011, including a slow cooker chapter (we make use of a mini slow cooker) and a vegetarian chapter. Fans of this series have come to rely on Cooking for Two for the thrift it promotes (features like Use it Up provide approximately 20 recipes for excess ingredients), the freshness it delivers, and our small batch dessert recipes. America's Test Kitchen is the perfect place to develop recipe favorites into delicious, deliverable, cooking for two possibilities!
America's Test Kitchen, based in a brand new state-of-the-art 60,000 sq. ft. facility with over 15,000 sq. ft. of test kitchens and studio space, in Boston's Seaport District, is dedicated to finding the very best recipes for home cooks. Over 50 full-time (admittedly obsessive) test cooks spend their days testing recipes 30, 40, up to 100 times, tweaking every variable until they understand how and why recipes work. They also test cookware and supermarket ingredients so viewers can bypass marketing hype and buy the best quality products. As the home of Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country magazines, and publisher of more than one dozen cookbooks each year, America's Test Kitchen has earned the respect of the publishing industry, the culinary world, and millions of home cooks. America's Test Kitchen the television show launched in 2001, and the company added a second television program, Cook's Country, in 2008.

I have always loved Test Kitchen, whether in book form, watching the show, or catching up on videos on YouTube. This cookbook did have a lot of amazing recipes and usually I would just go ahead and buy the book without question. This time, I checked the book out from the library, and was happy that I did. While there were a lot of terrific recipes that absolutely NEEDED to be tried, there were just too many recipes that required too many ingredients, or too long a prep/cook time to be feasible for cooking for two - or even one. I did find a lot of recipes to try that met my time and ingredient requirements, but this is not a book I would purchase to keep on my shelf.
