 Flawed Oct 15, 2009
By Griswel
I love the show, the recipes are great and this book has many. However, it does not contain all of the recipes from the TV show, and the index is poor.
The first thing I looked for in the book was Pepperoni Pan Pizza, Season Eight, Disk three, first show, if you own the DVDs, as I do. It's not in there. Yes, there are pizzas, but not the recipe I wanted to make. The dough for the others is different, as is the sauce. Other than that, I'm all set. For a book which promises every recipe from every show, being 0 for 1 was not a pleasant surprise.
It's conceivable that the Pizza Dish is in there, please flame me in the comments, so long as you specify the page (it's not under Pizza, and it's not in the Italian dish section where the other pizzas are). I say that because the second recipe I wanted, from the same DVD, was a kuchen I plan to make tomorrow. Look up kuchen in the index, no go, look in the table of contents instead and, ah, there it is! They called it New York Style Crumb Cake in the show, so ... you find it under "N" in the index. How convenient!
This is a common flaw with ATk books (e.g. the season 9 recipe book I also have). They give an ordinary recipe a spiced up name, which by itself is all well and good. But then they list the thing only under the fancy name. They'd call an apple pie "xanadu" then list it under "x". The one thing I'd have expected is an episode list with a page reference for each recipe. It would have added 5-10 pages to a very large book. They list only the recipes for season ten. This would have helped find episodes as well, if you locate a recipe you'd like to make. I found Breaded Chicken Cutlets, and cannot find online which season it's from, so although I probably own the DVD, I can't watch it without starting up many disks and plowing through til I see it.
If you plan to flip through recipes, or when you can find what you're looking for, the book is fantastic, and the recipes are wonderful. They certainly didn't leave out many, the book is huge and heavy, with many nice photographs, equipment lists, and grocery lists. But, it does not do what they say it does - include every recipe - and the index is best described as jesuitical.

 Misrepresented Oct 16, 2009
By C A Taylor
While I generally enjoy everything about America's Test Kitchen and its related publications, this book came up short. This book is billed as containing "every recipe from 10 years" of the ATK TV show. Unfortunately, that is not true.
The recipe for my favorite "Triple Chocolate Cookie" (which feature melted bittersweet chocolate chips) is not included. Ironically, these cookies were featured in the ATK episode entitled "Cookie Jar Favorites"--the title of the cookie chapter of this book. The previous poster mentioned a pan pizza recipe featured in Season 8 which was also not included. That's at least two recipes missing--who knows how many others?
One of the other flaws of this book is that it is missing an index of all of the recipes for each show by season. However, if the publishers were leaving out recipes, then I can understand why they would leave out such a list. Including an episode-by-episode list would surely draw attention to the fact that this book is not nearly as complete as promised.
This book does not contain every recipe from every show. If that's what you are looking for, as I was, then you will be sorely disappointed.

Wow...if you like America's Test Kitchen? Nov 12, 2009
By wogan
"the book reader"
If you like America's Test kitchen, you might like this book. It is, as usual a great resource, but after looking through the pages of this book, I can see many repetitions of recipes from other books of the Test Kitchen. I do notice that despite the claim of having all of its' recipes, 650 from 10 years of the show, some seem to be missing.
What you can love about this is how America's Test Kitchen covers almost any question you might have on how to cook their recipes and their advice on types of kitchen equipment and helpful hints just can't be beat; as are their explanations on how they come up with their versions of their recipes
This volume covers: soups and salads, skillet suppers and one pot dinners to chicken, turkey, specific meats and fish, diner dinners, pasta, tex mex, French, take out, grill, sides, brunch, bread, cookies, cake, desserts are all included. There is also a kitchen shopping guide, conversions and equivalents, a 2010 TV episode guide as well as the adequately done index with recipe names and main ingredients. There are colour pictures for about every 3rd or 4th recipe and why the recipe works. There are not as many of the small diagrams in this book as in previous ones that show how to roll and cut cinnamon rolls for example.
The print is good and easy to read. It would make a good basic cookbook or an addition to a collection, as long as you know there will be some duplications from other Test Kitchen books
Also just know if you will be making pies or biscuits, they will be made from scratch, this is not a book for you to expect them to tell you to pop open a can of refrigerated biscuits. The bread section is mostly quick dough, if you are looking for long rising bread recipes, they are not here.
I also wish that the Test Kitchen would give charts for cooking times of different sizes of meats and roasts, after all some of us need to cook a 20 pound turkey for Thanksgiving, a 12 pound bird will just not cut it. However their grill instructions are some of the best around. It's a good book, but I wish it was the comprehensive one that I thought was coming.

 terrific -- with one exception May 10, 2010
By audrey
I almost didn't get this book. I subscribe to the ATK magazines and have many of the cookbooks, which often repeat the recipes from the magazines, so the last thing I needed was a book that had all the recipes again. But I'm glad I got it. Up til now I'd kept a database I made from the magazines, or I had to remember which cookbook a particular recipe was in. But now it's very easy -- I just head to this (relatively) comprehensive tome. At 646 pages it's hefty, but it's great to find things organized and in place whenever I want.
The recipes are fabulous and the commentaries informative. I have made many recipes from here and 95% turn out brilliantly. The apple pie and pie dough are real keepers, the strawberry cream cake is a gorgeous crowd pleaser, and almost every poultry recipe is superb; sauces are wonderful and the buttermilk waffle recipe is delicious. ATK also does a great job of making ethnic recipes do-able, with ingredient lists that most cooks should be able to fill without too much trouble. The commentaries tell you how the ingredients work together, and what variations work (or don't) and why. Chapters cover: soup. salads, skillet suppers, one pot dinners, chicken, turkey and trimmings, steak, pork, roasts & loafs, fish, diner food, pasta, Italian favorites, French food, Tex-Mex cooking, takeout (Chinese, Thai and Indian food), grilling, side dishes, brunch, breads, cookies, cake, puddings & souffles, fruit desserts, and pie.
The negatives: not ALL the recipes are here. There're at least two I looked for after watching the show but couldn't find, and other reviewers seem to have had the same problem. Also, as usual with ATK books, the index is bad. MANY times I can't find something in there but after leafing and browsing, there it is! There is also a shopping guide which shows all the winners of the shows' equipment testings (from knives and bakeware to pans, utensils and appliances) as well as winners from taste testings (such as cheese, meats, spices , pantry items etc). There is a rudimentary index to the 2010 tv shows, also, but none for the other seasons.
Despite the index and incompleteness flaws, I love this book.

Wanting More Dec 04, 2009
By J. A. Cosentino Jr.
I'm missing a couple of the annual editions and despaired not having a complete set until this book came along. I bought it immediately and love what's there. I happily transferred my Post-It bookmarks from my annual editions to this book, and seeing the variations and other ideas gathered around my favorites got me to thinking I may give them a try too. In that sense - many years of recipes reorganized in a more-or-less sensible fashion - this is a rather complete cookbook. But I miss what's not there - the things that would make this a complete America's Test Kitchen cookbook. The equipment ratings are almost an afterthought, and the tasting panel results aren't much better. I need to know if a particular piece of equipment that catches my eye at the store should be snapped up or shunned, and this book doesn't tell me that while the annual editions did. The candid photos are, as far as I can tell, all of the current staff; not one, for example, of "Doc" Willoughby who reported from the Science Desk in early years. And how much trouble would it have been to add a line to each recipe title, stating the year and episode it came from? The Index could have had references to a recipe's year (Consumer Reports style) so we hardcore fans could crack open our annual editions to read more about them. I like this book a lot but would have loved it if it was complete. It has earned a permanent place on my kitchen bookshelf, but I think maybe I'll resume searching for my missing annual editions, because I'll still be needing them close by.
