5 stars (Excellent book but could use a better index) - This book is OUTSTANDING. America's Test Kitchen is like the Consumer Report's of recipes and cooking products. I enjoy learning WHY certain products and techniques work. They try and try until they get a particular recipe to be the best it can be. Then they share what they learned. The one disappointing aspect of this book is the Table of Contents and indexes. For example each "chapter" contains several recipes, but you have to go to the chapter in order to see what all the recipes are within that chapter. But the book is so very excellent that I can forgive this flaw. 5 stars (But use your own judgment) - I absolutely love ATK and buy all of their books. The techniques they present are top notch and as close to bulletproof as you can get. I find the spicing a little mild for my tastes so I usually amp that up a bit. Tasting results are the aggregated opinion of several people so some of the more unusual flavors you might get a kick out of may be rounded out in the math. 4 stars (An Excellent Companion to The PBS Series.) - America's Test Kitchen Live is up to the franchise's usual standards. If you are a fan of the PBS series you will want these faithfully produced scripts for the TV version. The recipes are well perfected to make sure the home chef can produce consistent mouth watering results for family and friends. If you have ever tweaked a recipe until you got it just right, you will love the approach of Chris Kimball and company. They save the home cooking enthusiast a lot of time and energy by doing the tweaking for them. The products tested in this volume range from infomercial gadgets to common necessary kitchen tools used under a range of conditions. The pretty well detailed test results not only offer the best and worst culinary utensils in any category but a lot of the near misses along with their costs. In many ways the text version of these product exams are better than their vide...

5 stars (great cookbook!!) - Another great book by Cook's Illustrated! I love their cookbooks, and their magazine. What I like is that they not only give you a tried and true recipe, they give you their test kitchen results on other variations they tried. And give their reasons for either rejecting or choosing a technique, ingredient or utensil. If you are a cook who likes to know the science behind cooking, you will never be dissapointed by any of their books. I have 3 from them. I rank their books right up there with Joy of cooking and Julia Child for the content and education they offer both the experienced and beginner. I liked this book so much I gave it to my brother for his birthday and he loved it. (For purely selfish reasons, every time I give him a cookbook he makes a meal from it and invites me for dinner.) 5 stars (Comfort food at its best) - I love this book! Delicious one-dish meals, casseroles, slow cooker recipes, etc., without one can of "cream of whatever" soup. The analysis of what they tried along the way to develop the best recipes is interesting too. I only wish the recipes were a little less involved and took less time to execute, but I do appreciate quality over speed. 5 stars (Great Format!) - If you love the magazine, "Cook's Illustrated" but don't know how to organize the recipes (photocopy/cut-and-paste onto 4x6" cards? tear out your favorites and keep in a binder? keep all the issues and try to remember which had what?), then this book is for you. The recipes, the background, the tips -- they're all here in an organized, workable format. Hooray! ...

5 stars (A satisfying and most enjoyable tour of scenic greenery) - Compiled by an editor of Golfweek magazine, A Walk In The Park is a showcase of 100 top-notch golf courses, divided into those created before 1960 and those designed after. Sweeping full-color photography offers a dazzling view of rolling hills, while the text describes the nuances of each course in detail, including figures for par, yards, and slope, Golfweek's waitings, and a background of the history and special features of each. A satisfying and most enjoyable tour of scenic greenery and sports grounds. ...

5 stars (This is simply a good book) - I use this book at school for a class called "golf course organization and maintenace." It is geared directly to golf courses. The fact of the matter is that it covers every imaginable aspect of golf course maintenance and operations, and I do mean everything. In my opinion there is no other book more valuable for persons training to be golf course superintendents. If your already a superintendent I'm sure it would still be a wise decision to purchase this book. 4 stars (better turf management !!) - this book will heip even the greats turf managers around the world, ...
