review 1: The cheese is creating a web from my spoon to the bowl, the toast soaking up the broth ever so rich from the onions that were simmering in the pot for such a short time: this tasted like restaurant quality soup yet I prepared it in less than an hour. To think that this was the streamlined version and it tasted like this, I hated to think what the classic version of their French onion soup tasted like, I don’t know if I could handle the anticipation of waiting twice as long for this gooey goodness. One recipe down and more than 1,100 left to try and I am contemplating whether to buy this mammoth of a book. Yes, this baby is big weighing in at around 6 pounds (yes, I put it on my scale) but I have to tell you, I love with a big LOVE American Test Kitchen cookbooks. Ask m... moree why and I can tell you that I have made plenty of their recipes and not one of them has failed me. Not one of them has been bad. Not one of them has been a waste of my money. I have many of their cookbooks and I am a subscriber of their monthly magazine and they are the truly the best. Why? Because they talk cooking, like I like to talk about books. They are the masters of cooking, they test things over and over again to give you the best recipe and with each recipe they tell you why that recipe works. Sometimes you will find that their recipes take a bit of time, but it is totally worth it! It’s like the holy grail of cooking when you cook with the American Test Kitchen behind you. They even have a television program on public television and a website (see I am addicted to their brand). I am really in love with this cookbook but the price tag has me dragging my feet, retail value is $45.00. Yep, I might have to wait till after the holidays on this one and just see if magically it somehow lands onto my bookshelf somehow.
review 2: BEST Cookbook EVER!!!!! And I have rea some cook books. This one is the boss of them all. Not necessarily for beginners. You have to be willing to do some seemingly inconsequential, yet oh so important baby steps to achieve perfection, but is is oh so worth it. When you bite into the most amazing triple chocolate cookie you have ever seen or tasted, or let sauce from the most amazing beef stew drip down your chin, you will know it was worth the effort. less
