Cook's Illustrated

My Favorite Cooking Magazine

I'm a fan of "Cook's Illustrated" magazine. I don't measure when I cook and sometimes the finished product is inconsistent. Lately, I have been trying to be more disciplined in my preparation and follow recipes. The recipes and techniques in Cook's are well tested and accurate. I have found my cooking skills have improved and my family is benefitting from the use of that foreign kitchen utensil... measuring spoons.

The magazine has a companion show "America's Test Kitchen". I watch the show and search my back issues of Cook's and frequently find the recipe. I prefer the hard copy of the magazine, but an online version is available. If you would like to improve your cooking techniques it's a good resource.
