The New Cooking School Cookbook: Fundamentals

I own several cookbooks from America's Test Kitchen. This is one of the best. Great pictures, great explanations, easy to read, very educational and informative. Everyone can learn from this book. It will soon have as many post-it notes as the other two of my favorites. Plan to give as a gift to new bride who is just learning, and to my sister who is a fabulous cook. Also comes with free 2-month online cooking school membership. I plan to take advantage of that in September. Highly recommend.

Another great tool for inspiring Chefs

It seems to assume that certain kitchen appliances will be owned and, in all honesty, the recipes really didn't wow me. Also, I felt that each section being written by a different person made the book hang more as a collection of articles than a cohesive book - needed tighter overall editing. Given away within a week of purchase. Much better "cookery tutorial" books out there. Overpriced!

I've had the book for about a week and only made two recipes, but they've turned out pretty good. Love color photos and the "keys to success" section. Also like the added "science lessons." Finally, the book includes a free 2-month membership to online cooking school, which I've joined. Couldn't be happier ☺️

Working through this book then will start with the recipes.
