The Best of America’s Test Kitchen 2009:
Want to know the secret to pie dough so foolproof you’ll never feel intimidated when making a pie or a quiche again? Or how to make scoop and bake dinner rolls with a yeasted batter that is so simple that you’ll even make them on a weeknight? What about a rich and silky simple meat sauce with long-cooked flavor or barbecued brisket that tastes as if it was made in a Texas smokehouse? These are just a few of the recipes included in this “best of the best” collection — a book that pulls back the curtain on our test kitchen and gives you the inside scoop on recipes the editors have voted the standouts of the year. Add to this a 40-page resource section packed with our favorite reader-submitted quick tips, full equipment and ingredient ratings from our magazines, and definitive spreads on practical cooking techniques — and you have a book that will be a must-have resource.So how did we decide which recipes to include? We looked for those that were unique (like Mexican Street Corn, Sweet Potato Fries, Lasagna with Meatballs, or Cold-Oven Pound Cake) or were simply great recipes that we thought everyone should know how to make (like French Onion Soup, Fluffy Diner-Style Omelets, or Apple Galette). The end result? A varied collection, from starters, salads, and side dishes, to poultry, meat, seafood, pasta, and desserts. Here you’ll find a range of recipes from quick, weeknight fare (Skillet Spaghetti, Broiled Steaks, and Glazed Chicken Breasts) to dishes that are perfect for entertaining (French-Style Pot Roast, Pasta Caprese, and Tiramisu). Also included are an abundance of baked goods both easy and more ambitious (Apricot Bundt Cake, Beer-Battered Cheese Bread, and Croissants), regional classics (South Carolina Pulled Pork, Memphis Coleslaw, and Texas Sheetcake), and just old-fashioned comfort foods (Crunchy Baked Pork Chops, Quicker Beef and Vegetable Soup, and Best Drop Biscuits).In the narrative that accompanies each recipe, the voice of the test cook who labored over it shines through bringing their stories and our unique testing process to life.
