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
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.
