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!

    I haven’t scoped out their light cook book, but I love their one pan chicken parmesan recipe!

    How to narrow it down to just one recipe? They all have spectacular results but I think the most spectacular improvement over the “regular” recipe was for French Toast. The two variations for white sandwich type bread vs. chewy rustic bread.
    And can I just add how much I love Chris Kimball!

    I don’t think I’ve ever made an America’s Test Kitchen recipe before, but I’d love to start now! 😉

    Their carnitas are a favorite here. Very time intensive, but the result is worth every minute.

    Their chocolate chip cookie recipe is my favorite.

    Everything I have tried from Cook’s Illustrated, Cook’s Country or America’s Test Kitchen is my favorite. But, if I have to narrow it down, I’d say the Classic Creme Brulee (Nov. 2001). The recipe was featured in my first copy of Cook’s Illustrated and was the catalyst to my becoming hopelessly addicted to all areas of the CI family.

    I have never had a recipe that I did not like. My most recent favorite is the pie crust recipe. No fail. Love it.

    I love the triple chocolate mousse cake. I’m addicted to mousse and this was amazing!

    Tons of good recipes – but the two that I’ve think that I’ve made again and again are:

    1) Beef Tacos (CI April 2002)
    2) Spice-Rubbed Grilled Bone-In Chicken Breasts (CI July 1997)

    Both are tremendous!

    I love their crispy oatmeal cookies. They are so unexpected and delicious and provide a great base for improvising!

    All American Meatloaf is a family favorite as well as the Chocolate Chip cookie recipe which makes THE perfect chocolate chip cookie!

    My current favorite is the pizza recipe in the Cook’s Illustrated I just got in the mail. I would LOVE to win this cookbook. I put it on my Amazon wish list this morning!

    My favorite would have to be the chocolate souffle in The Next Best Recipe- BUT I have never tried a recipe out of this cook book that I didn’t like! They are all terrific!

    Their chocolate chip cookies are to die for! I bake them far too often for my own good ;D

    I love their molasses spice cookies from a Christmas baking special issue I got a few years back. So good!

    It’s very hard to pick just one, as I’ve made so many that always come out so delicious. One that comes to mind is the horseradish crusted beef tenderloin. Yum Yum. I love your cooking site and cookbooks.

    The best blueberry muffins are the best ever. I am begged to make them again and again.

    I love their Scoop and Bake roll recipe! It’s so quick and easy if you want fresh hot rolls! That’s just one of the many that I love! 🙂

    the best recipe from baking illustrated – the carrot cake with the cream cheese frosting. it’s wonderful – my 82 year old grandmother, who doesn’t like sweets, looooves the cake and insists on taking it back to her friends in her apartment complex everytime i make it!

    this book is one i’d love to have in my shelf 🙂

  • Gloria

    My favorite is the Pulled Pork found the first Cook’s Illustrated “Best of”cookbook- still have the magazine issue with that recipe but bought the book because of this recipe. I have been making this for over 11 years and always get requests for seconds and the recipe.

  • Sandy

    My favorite is from Cooks Illustrated and is for No-Knead Bread 2.0, based on the Sullivan Street Bakery recipe.

    Chocolate Chip Cookies, hands down. I like them better than Alton Brown’s or the NY Times recipe.

  • Melissa

    Has to be the Ultimate Cinnamon Buns (but probably only until I am able to make the Sunday Gravy).

    I really liked their take on blueberry pie, thickening the filling with grated apple.

    Thaks for doing this – I’m really working on lightening up the fat in our meals!

  • Jenn B

  • Kami

  • Cathy Miller

    The recipes in Cook’s Illustrated and the cook books are great. It is hard to choose just one.
    Either my mom or I try to make at least one receipt out each issue and let each other know which one we like best.
    The easy meat loaf recipes out of the cook book is great. My family now ask for meat loaf. I love the explanations to the recipes what was tried and why it did or did not work.

    I have enjoyed Cooks Country for many years. My favorite recipe is the Mochaccino Bread Puddings. My husband asks for them often.

    I really like their reduced fat carrot cake. It always goes over well and no one guesses that it’s “good” for them (as far as carrot cake goes.)

  • rene

    i used the recipe to the best blueberry muffins ever!!
