The recipes from America's Test Kitchen make more than great television—they also make great meals. Our test kitchen staff (more than three dozen) is devoted to creating foolproof recipes, timesaving kitchen shortcuts, and objective, money-saving cookware ratings. It is the reason that America's Test Kitchen is the most popular cooking show on public television.

America's Test Kitchen: The TV Companion Cookbook 2009 takes you inside our 2,500-square-foot kitchen as we discover the absolute best ways to make everything from familiar family favorites like Crunchy Baked Pork Chops, Grilled Bone-In Chicken Breasts, and Simple Italian-Style Meat Sauce to meal ideas that are better and more authentic than anything you could get from restaurant take out, including Enchiladas Verdes, Steak Tacos, Pork Lo Mein, and Pizza Bianca with Tomatoes and Mozzarella. There's also more than half a dozen chapters devoted to creating classic desserts both simple—like Best Blueberry Pie, Stovetop Rice Pudding, and Apple Pandowdy, and upscale—like Grand Marnier Soufflé, Individual Make-Ahead Chocolate Soufflés, and even Tiramisù.
