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 11, 2011I want to make the Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake! And I use their Indian Curry recipes all the time too.
M Bell
October 11, 2011Strawberry Cream Cake. It tastes great and is visually impactful.
Katie
October 11, 2011I love the lemon bars! Everyone asks me to make them and I gladly oblige.
Jackie
October 11, 2011I have not had the opportunity to make any of their recipes but I like the looks of the pumpkin bourbon cheesecake, or any pumpkin recipe!
Cindy
October 11, 2011I’ve been wanting to try German Apple pancakes for a long time (is there such a thing as a TBB – to be baked- list?)
Charlie
October 11, 2011The lime bars with the crushed animal cracker crust are amazing!
Monica
October 11, 2011The pie crust
Stephanie D
October 11, 2011I’ve never made one of their recipe but I would love to give my first try at making my own pie crust using their recipe.
Beth
October 11, 2011My fave recipe is from the CI magazine, their vegetarian lasagna from a few issues back.
sara
October 11, 2011Their recipe for thick-cut pork chops is totally amazing!
Nicole
October 11, 2011It’s hard to pick just one, but I would have to say the Italian Ricotta Pie – it really reminded me of my grandmothers and I have been trying to replicate her recipe for years!
Diane
October 11, 2011I love the Creamy Chocolate Pudding recipe from Fall 2011.
Heidi
October 11, 2011Their French toast recipe really is awesome–the bread does not get soggy.
Angi
October 11, 2011I love all of their recipes but have been longing for some good breads for a while!
Meyeonee
October 11, 2011Chicken and Dumplings. Will never ever use any other recipe for this.
Kim
October 11, 2011Definitely the pumpkin pie! I’m a pumpkin pie fiend and this one comes out so goood.
Jill
October 11, 2011Chicken Enchiladas. The cilantrohits this version out of the park. The insides are so good, we eat it straight from the bowl sometimes!
Angel
October 11, 2011It’s impossible to pick just one favorite — probably at least 80% of all the recipes we make over and over again are theirs — but for now I’ll say their tinga (Mexican spicy shredded pork) with tostadas. Food that makes great leftovers means many happy lunches for me in the near future! =)
Kelly
October 11, 2011I don’t think I’ve tried any of their recipes. The Apple-Maple glazed chicken breasts looks interesting.
angela
October 11, 2011Their 60 minute lentil soup recipe is a grad student’s dream. Fast, cheap, quadruples well, and gets tastier as it ages.
Em
October 11, 2011I love the perfectly chocolate chip cookies! More work than the tollhouse recipe but so so good!
Dani
October 11, 2011Definitely their chocolate chip cookie with browned butter. So toasty and yummy!

I love their Blue berry pie. It came out perfect ! 🙂
Katie Rose
October 11, 2011I LOVE CI! And have at least liked if not loved all of the recipes I have tried so far so it would be hard to choose just one. However, the one I use by far the most often is their quick pizza dough recipe (I think it’s called 75-Minute Pizza Dough or something like that).
Christy
October 11, 2011I have been making their coconut cream pie for a few years now and my husband loves it.
Asiya
October 11, 2011My favorite is their pizza dough from Baking Illustrated!
Katie
October 11, 2011Their pizza crust. So easy, fast, and 100x better than delivery!
Sarah
October 11, 2011Pie crust! It’s a winner every time 🙂
Chad
October 11, 2011I love the breakfast foods-Almond crusted french toast is amazing.

October 11, 2011Their chocolate chip cookies really are as good as they say. Perfectly crisp and chewy.

October 11, 2011french toast
Stacie
October 11, 2011I’ve been searching for a new cookbook to get some fresh ideas. I would love to see what they have for Fall recipes.
Kristin
October 11, 2011I’ve never tried one of their recipes, but I have been watching a lot of PBS since we canceled cable and I am eager to try several that I have seen on their show!
Julie B
October 11, 2011Their apple pie recipe. For sure. I really hope you pick me 🙂
Teagan
October 11, 2011We are getting geared up for Thanksgiving and I’d love to try some new pies!
Mary Michael McDonald
October 11, 2011So far, the French toast. My next venture is the chocolate chip cookies. CI has yet to let me down so I am sure they will be great!
Art Good
October 11, 2011I would LOVE to make the beef roast recipe I saw in one of their magazines. Looked so good!
Amber Shea @Almost Vegan
October 11, 2011The CI recipe I’ve turned to in the past is their pie crust, specifically for an apple pie. I love their science-based approach to food. I’d love to add this to my bookshelf, and to share it with my grandma, who adores CI too!
Sarah
October 11, 2011I love the big monster cookies. They have chocolate chunks and dried cherries in them. Delicious!
Lynn
October 11, 2011Their Coconut Cake is a showstopper! Anytime I bring that to a function people are very happy.
Kristi
October 11, 2011I love their recipes. I make their blueberry scones frequently, and their steak au poive with brandied cream sauce is one of our favorite special dinners. I learn a ton just by reading the magazine articles every other month.
Sherry
October 11, 2011I would love to try the Shrimp Tempura or any of the Salmon recipes.
Lisa
October 11, 2011The CI Macaroni and Cheese is amazing! 🙂

Megan
October 11, 2011Their hamburgers still get talked about in my house! Thanks for such a great giveaway!
Terry
October 11, 2011The pumpkin pie is incredible. The vodka crust is deliciously flaky. The filling has an awesome depth of flavor better than anything I’ve had with pumpkin.
Amy
October 11, 2011I love their skillet recipes and bread, it’s hard to pick one favorite!
Julia
October 11, 2011The pie crust with vodka is my go-to crust recipe.
Linda
October 11, 2011My favorite recipe of theirs are the chewy brownies. They definitely deliver. I’ve made a few other of their recipes, too (mostly desserts) but not all that I’d like to.
Connie Keirns
October 11, 2011I’ve made a few of their recipes. Currently have “Old-Fashioned Corn Muffins” on the to-be-made queue (recipe uses yeast instead of baking powder).
