I’ve been enjoying my copy of The Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook, the newest cookbook from Chris Kimball and the rest of the team at America’s Test Kitchen. The huge book has more than 2000 recipes and was put out to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of the Cook’s Illustrated magazine. To read a full review of the book, check out this post. To do my own part in the celebration, I’m giving away a copy of the book to one lucky reader! .
To enter the contest, leave a comment below with your favorite Cook’s Illustrated recipe. Their exhaustively tested recipes always turn out a good product and almost everyone has at least one favorite that they turn to again and again. If you haven’t made any of their recipes before, just leave a comment with the recipe that you want to make most (since just about everything you could think of, with variations, is in here). The contest ends Friday, October 14th at midnight and the winner will be randomly selected from the entries. Don’t forget to fill in your e-mail on the comment form (it will not be public), as that is how I will contact the winner, and good luck!
Update: This contest is now closed. Congrats to Robert on winning the book and a huge thanks to everyone for participating and sharing your favorite recipes!

October 12, 2011Having not actually read the Cookbook, I went to Amazon and checked out the Table of Contents. Being a cookie girl I instantly spotted Mexican Butter Cookies.

Shaun
October 12, 2011Brown Sugar Cookies
Alison
October 12, 2011My favorite recipe of theirs is for a high-heat roast chicken. It’s butterflied, and you put a layer of vegetables underneath to soak up all the chicken juices during cooking. It is DELICIOUS, easy (well, if you don’t mind the butterflying part) and always comes out well.
Jeanne ODonnell
October 12, 2011The carrot cake and cream cheese frosting from the baking book!

Anne
October 12, 2011That’s a tough one…but I’d have to say their blueberry scones. They’re the best scones I’ve ever had — light, flaky with a lot of blueberries and a touch of lemon. They’ve ruined me for all other scones!
Katie

October 12, 2011Cook’s Illustrated has way too many good recipes. Since finding their 30-minute potpie recipe, though, I’ve totally changed the way I’ve made potpies– which is for the better, lol.
