While ATK volumes are always good, this particular one didn't jump out at me and say make these recipes. I wouldn't turn them down if they were in front of me :) but most of these weren't for my kitchen.

Great product reviews and recommendations as always.

I own many of ATK books. I have been baking for 30 years and I always learn something. This book is no exception. There is something for everyone. The book is divided into kinds of courses (apps, soups, fish, poultry, beef, dessert, etc.) I highly recommend this book and will be buying my own copy soon!

Excellent as always. Worth reading cover to cover, so many great recipes and clear instructions, as well as reasoning as to why they developed them. They are one of the gold-standard cookbook developers in my opinion.
