No, I don’t own it, but I have checked one out from the library before and, like you, loved the science behind the cooking that they explained. I remember reading a jumbo chocolate chip cookie recipe and they explained each test and what they changed to improve the texture and moistness and cripsness on the outside. It was awesome! I sold my cookbooks to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and since then haven’t purchased a single one b/c I realized I mostly get my recipes online. Still, I got really excited when I inherited a big stack of them from an old friend that passed away. It’s sort of bittersweet, reading them before bed. Every time I use them I will think of her.

I LOVE this book! Hands down, Baked Macaroni and Cheese and the Light Chicken Parmesean are my family’s favorites!!!

Honestly, everything I have tried has been good though!

@unfinishedmom, Some of the recipes overlap, but with the few books I have there is enough new ones that I think it is worth it. But there is some overlap.

I just acquired my first ATK cookbook – a compilation of recipes from the shows for the last 10 years. I’ve marked a whole bunch of their recipes for trying. I especially love their blueberry pancake recipe.

Question – Do you find there’s a lot of overlap among their cookbooks? (I’ve only got the one at this point)

@Amy, I have not tried either of those. But now I really need to. Especially the guacamole. Thanks!

Oh, yes, it is about my favorite of all the cookbooks I own too. Now, I want the ATK Baking Book (the one that is as big as the red one but comes in blue and is nothing but baking!).
