About me: I've been cooking and baking since I was a child and collecting cookbooks almost that long. Years ago, I lost my entire collection in a flood and I've been slowly building it back up. I cook for my husband and three sons who are not very adventurous eaters. We're on the go a lot with sports and school schedules. I love to bake and my boys and their friends appreciate all manner of baked goods.

Favorite cookbook: King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion

Ginger Pork Meatballs with Cilantro and Fish Sauce from Dinner: Changing the Game

These meatballs and the dipping sauce were to die for delicious. Although there was a lot of chopping the recipe was easy to follow. Everyone loved it and we will definitely make this again. read more >

The Cook's Illustrated Cookbook: 2,000 Recipes from 20 Years of America's Most Trusted Cooking Magazine

By Editors at Cook's Illustrated Magazine
Cook's Illustrated - 2011

April 8th, 2012

Truly the best of Cook's Illustrated all in one hardbound volume.

Like the earlier reviewer, I love the fact that there is minimal explanation before each recipe - just the basics without all the long windedness that CI is known for.

Great directions with all necessary steps illustrated. Simply written recipes with clear step by step directions. A recipe for almost anything you could possibly need.

Our entire Easter dinner was made from this book this year - scalloped potatoes, spiral ham, roasted asparagus, spice cake with cream cheese frosting - and everything was delicious and the recipes had no surprises.
