Ok, so I’ve had time to look through my new “Complete America’s Test Kitchen TV Show 2019 Cookbook” and it’s worse than what I posted earlier. I was watching the show last night and tried to find the recipe for the avgolemono lemon and rice soup. It’s not there. Not in the index under chicken, or rice, or lemon, or soup, or Greek. It isn’t in the topic section of chicken or soups. So, they lied about it being a COMPLETE book of all their recipes.
The sections are a total mess. I look for recipes with what I have on hand. If I have a beef roast, then I expect to quickly look through the beef section and find a recipe. Not with this book. You have to look through the soup section, the Italian section, the what’s for dinner section, the brunch section, the pasta section, etc., etc., etc. Oh, yeah, and don’t forget to look in the back past all the advertising for tools and such for the 2019 season section. Then, you have to look in the index and flip back and forth through 14 dozen beef recipes to see if each recipe might be good.
ENOUGH ALREADY! It’s too much trouble to find anything in it and it’s false advertising not to have all their recipes in it.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
We have some of the cookbooks from the early years of the series; I haven’t used them much lately, but don’t recall being disappointed in them.
Maybe the quality went down - due to the loss of Chris Kimball?
