America’s Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook giveaway!

ATK Healthy Family Cookbook

I’ve been enjoying my copy of The America’s Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook from America’s Test Kitchen, but I don’t want to keep it all to myself – so I’m giving away a copy! To make things even sweeter, this book has been signed by Chris Kimball! I wish I could say that I had one for everyone, but I have only one copy to give away to a lucky reader. To read a full review of the book, check out this post.

To enter the contest, leave a comment with your favorite America’s Test Kitchen recipe – whether it was from Cook’s Illustrated, Cook’s Country or one of their many cookbooks – below. If you can’t choose just one, you can always try making the Everyday Cinnamon Rolls, which just might be an instant favorite as a lighter, healthier version of gooey cinnamon rolls! The contest ends tonight 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: Comments are closed. Thanks for participating, everyone! Congrats to Debby of A Feast for the Eyes, who was chosen as the winner!

    This is going to date me, but the Cook’s Illustrated’s Perfect Pecan Pie! You can’t eat anyone else’s pecan pie after you’ve made this!

    Their Maple Pecan Scones are THE BEST!

    I love the beef chili and hot cocoa mix recipes, but it’s hard to choose a favorite. There are so many terrific ones!

    I have a love/hate relationship with ATK. Everything I have made from ATK has been amazing! My husband’s new favorite food is the Italian Sunday Gravy, everyone in the family raves about it. It is delicous and easy to make. The hate part comes in because we rarely go out to eat anymore, with ATK I can do better at home.

    From Cook’s Country, three of my favorites which I’ve prepared multiple times are: Skillet Mac n Cheese, Tres Leches Cake, and French Country Chicken with Herbs and Honey (a 30-minute meal).

    I don’t know if I can choose a favorite. The Ultimate Cinnamon Rolls are absolutely fantastic, and I think they would by my husband’s favorite, so I’ll choose them. ;o)

    My very favorite is the Cream Scones with Currants. I have changed it up any number of ways, but the original is the best.

    AH I only have the ATK baking book but I LOVE it. Their apple pie is foolproof! I use it all the time and doctor it up for other things too.

    My favorite ATK recipe is Greek Salad from a Cook’s Country issue a few years ago. It always wins compliments from friends and my family loves it!

    Skillet Baked Ziti. I became determined to teach myself to cook properly and got really hooked on America’s Test Kitchen at Cook’s Country. I love the show and the recipes. Skillet Baked Ziti was one of the first that I tried. I was amazed by the simplicity and the great taste. It made me realize the importance of fresh herbs in cooking. Now I’m starting my own herb garden.

    This multigrain bread recipe is currently my favorite. I get to enjoy freshly baked bread that’s healthier for me.

  • Sarah

    I would have to say the Skillet Lasagna! I found it in Cooks Illustrated a few years back and it tastes very good. There is also a great chocolate chip cookie recipe where you brown the butter first. The cookies are a little carmely that way. 🙂

    My favorite is the skillet baked ziti. It’s sooo good and so easy. I love all of their one dish skillet recipes. The skillet penne and sausage is one of my favs too.

    I love The Perfect Chocolate Chip cookie recipe, I’m munching one now from the batch I made on Saturday. Hmmm GOOD! Browning the butter really adds so much depth of flavor.

    My favorite baking recipe from ATK is the cream scones. So many ways to cusomize, but the favorite is plain with lemon curd. Delish!

    I’ve made nearly every recipe listed above. As a home schooling mother of six, I’m much too busy to mess with recipes that don’t work. We eat almost exclusively from scratch, so I cook all three meals a day, seven days a week, all from Cooks Illustrated, Cooks Country, and the PBS shows. I have both Internet subscriptions, plus nearly every cookbook (I even have their app on my iPhone). We love ATK! Last night for dinner we had ATK chili con carne, this morning ATK pancakes & oven bacon! Yum!

    My favorites change all the time … right now it is the creamy chicken penne with mushrooms from their Make Ahead cookbook. Just served it for a family birthday party to rave reviews. It comes with directions for freezing as well.

    We just made the Thin Pizza Crust from this month’s Cook’s Illustrated and it was a hit with the whole family.

    I have to say my favorite is the Lexington-Style Pulled Pork For Charcoal Grill saw on Cook’s country TV. I’m an avid BBQer and in addition to the recipe, picked and/or confirmed techniques while BBQng.

    I can’t pick just one favorite, so my favorite for today will have to be the Quick Tuscan Bean Soup. We are having it for lunch and it is a guaranteed bowl of delicious!

    their beef enchiladas are an all time favorite in our home. My 3 year old son and 2 year old daughter thought they were great as well. In fact my son was supervising me pretending to be Christopher Kimball(its his favorite show to watch with Mommy on the weekends) When he tried it for the first time he just kept shaking his head and chuckling. In his words “mmm…mmmm….mmmmmm you did a great job Mommy” doesn’t get much better than that!
