Cook's Illustrated Revolutionary Recipes

Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence

Cook’s Illustrated has changed American home cooking through its signature blend of rigorous testing, culinary research, science, and unorthodox approaches to developing failproof recipes. Cook’s Illustrated Revolutionary Recipes feature stories rarely republished since they first appeared in the magazine. These essays, tracing from initial brainstorming to aha moments (and the occasional catastrophe) to final success, are what make the magazine so trustworthy and enjoyable to read. In addition, this cookbook features the magazine’s trademark black-and-white illustrations, the beloved front- and back-cover art, and a new addition: gorgeous, full-color photographs of each dish.

"The "revolution" here is not exotic ingredients or wild flavor combos; it's an insistent pursuit of perfect recipes."
