I'm cook myself and if I'm in Vermont I would like to cook for bridget or take gher out for a good meal love bridget best is the product corner always a good find but why dose the host not like the tasting part of the show I think he dose not like the guy but thats just me .
Didn't realize I would have to go thru so much just to get recipe for Spaghetti & Meatballs from 2/11/12 show. Not worth it. Will not watch program anymore. This isn't first time I've had this problem. Do not wish to join this, that or anything else for a recipe.
I Ordered the 2011 Season Set about 2 months ago. I received the cook book but was informed that the DVD Set was back ordered. I have called them 2 times now to get a date when the DVD Set will be send out and could not be given an answer. I find it hard to believe that the company cannot give them a due in date for the DVD's. Very disappointed in America's Test Kitchen in receiving a product I have paid for and not received and cannot get an answer for. Also after talking to a supervisor and could not get answer she had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to buy a cook book.
A cooking show right out of the Cook's Illustrated Magazine. They not only give you recipes but provide tips and reviews of kitchen products, from food to gadgets, and everything in between.
This show is one of the better cooking shows out there. It won't give you all the details of the recipes but you can get those offline. It will however show you good techniques for making recipes.
They also take the time to test and review food and kitchen products. They give their opinions on it, but they also use testers and use their opinions as well.
It is a well rounded show that gives unique ideas and insights in to cooking. The companion magazine is also a great guide and goes great in conjunction with the show.
I would recommend giving this show a chance if you are a beginner cook or even more advanced.
OK, I'm a cook and I have tried several recipes from this show and I have to say I'm not impressed. Most recently I tried the white chicken chile. This recipe is not at all how white chile should be made. This recipe is really really bad. If you follow this recipe you will end up with soup. White chile should be made with dry beans. Also, the chiles should be grilled and skinned. So, my advice is to grill the chilies and skin them and seed them. You should also consider ground poultry. Contrary to what this show says ground poultry works very well in chile. This chile was soup.
Awesome show. What I would like is for them to make the show 60 minutes long instead of only 30. *sigh* It truely goes by way too fast. So, all I can do is hope that maybe in some next season, it will fulfill my wishes, by being 60 minutes long.Great Show
All I can say is this is a show that should get better reviews that I have seen elswhere. I feel that this show is both well directed, well written, and more importantly, is both helpful, and informative. I especially like when they demonstrate how to do the recipes. This has helped me many times when I need to make a new dish for dinner. I also like the taste test that is done, and then evaluates varying kinds of products, from olive oil to tomato paste in a tube. I also like the equipment corner. I find that by them having this feature, I can ad to my wish list all the new items I want to upgrade in my kitchen. Like knives, to saute pans. All is good...:)
