The Cook's Country Cookbook:
Welcome to Cook's Country - a place where you'll learn what's cooking in kitchens across America. This debut collection from the editors of Cook's Country magazine celebrates the landscape of American home cooking from yesterday and today. In the tradition of great American cookbooks like The Fannie Farmer Cookbook and The Settlement Cookbook, The Cook's Country Cookbook is, at its core, a wide-ranging, comprehensive collection chock-full of beloved classics like roast chicken, beef stew, biscuits, blueberry pie, and more. In addition, the editors of Cook's Country magazine have also reached back in time to revive old favorites to suit modern tastes and lifestyles. Here you'll find Chicken Divan without the soup mix - only tender chicken crisp broccoli blanketed in a velvety cheese sauce. You'll learn that it's possible to serve a from-scratch comfort food classic like meatloaf on a weeknight when time is tight: our mini-meatloaves cook in a fraction of the time of traditional versions. Discover fresh, new, and sometimes regional recipes that illuminate the depth and personality behind American cooking - recipes such as North Carolina Pulled Pork (a slow-cooker dish with real barbecue flavor); 24-Hour Salad (a make-ahead salad where the vegetables remain crisp and fresh); and King Ranch Casserole (a kid-friendly creamy chicken casserole with toasty corn chips and Southwestern spices, made famous by Lady Bird Johnson).In addition to foolproof recipes, The Cook's Country Cookbook also pulls back the curtain to reveal the often fascinating origins of classic American favorites, such as the use of breakfast cereal in party snack mixes or how Bundt pans gave rise to the popular cake. Much more than a collection of foolproof recipes, The Cook's Country Cookbook provides a lively, in-depth portrait of the great American table.

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. Want to know what inspired Charles Kelsey to investigate how the French make their poulet en cocotte, an incredibly moist and tender roast chicken (he tasted it in a restaurant in Paris) or what led David Pazmiño to go to extraordinary lengths to turn a cheap cut of meat into Sunday’s best roast beef (memories of his grandfather’s meltingly tender roast beef)? Or exactly what paths Diane Unger had to explore to come up with a recipe for the ultimate garlic roast chicken (she tried coating the chicken with garlic butter, roasted garlic, garlic oil, and more!), or how Bridget Lancaster revived the Pillsbury recipe contest phenomenon, Tunnel of Fudge Cake (underbaking the cake, swapping out granulated sugar for brown sugar, and adding melted chocolate to the batter were a few of her tricks)? In addition to the practical and foolproof recipes, this book is a great read.The Best of America’s Test Kitche

Light Jewish Holiday Desserts
When most people think of Jewish desserts, the same old rugelach, babka, and stale macaroons come to mind. This book proves that Jewish baking has much more to offer, including cookies, Charlottes, turnovers, loaf cakes, layer cakes, Bundt cakes, Napoleons, and tarts. Most Jewish desserts are also laden with fat, but Penny shows you, with her absolutely delicious recipes, how to cut the fat by as much as 75 percent in some cases—without sacrificing any of the taste. Jewish holidays are steeped in culture and tradition, so the chapters are organized by holiday and explain why certain foods and recipes are significant. Some recipes, though, are just fun, like the Chocolate Nut Roulade that can be shaped to look like a Torah for Simkat Torah. For Passover (Pesach), very strict guidelines must be followed, like no consumption of wheat flour, so Penny offers a Fresh Strawberry Torte with a crust made from ground matzoh. Many of these recipes are so delicious, home cooks will want to prepare them year round. But come high holidays, these recipes are sure to impress family and friends. PENNY WANTUCK EISENBERG has been working as a caterer and cooking instructor for over ten years. Her specialties include desserts, bread making, Jewish cooking and special diets. She is a graduate of Boston University and North Bennet Street Industrial School. A native of Long Island, she now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her family.

Baking:
2007 Beard Award Winner! Dorie Greenspan has written recipes for the most eminent chefs in the world: Pierre Hermé, Daniel Boulud, and arguably the greatest of them all, Julia Child, who once told Dorie, You write recipes just the way I do. Her recipe writing has won widespread praise for its literate curiosity and patient but exuberant style. (One hard-boiled critic called it a joy forever.) In Baking: From My Home to Yours, her masterwork, Dorie applies the lessons from three decades of experience to her first and real love: home baking. The 300 recipes will seduce a new generation of bakers, whether their favorite kitchen tools are a bowl and a whisk or a stand mixer and a bakers torch. Even the most homey of the recipes are very special. Dories favorite raisin swirl bread. Big spicy muffins from her stint as a baker in a famous New York City restaurant. French chocolate brownies (a Parisian pastry chef begged for the recipe). A dramatic black and white cake for a wow occasion. Pierre Hermés extraordinary lemon tart. The generous helpings of background information, abundant stories, and hundreds of professional hints set Baking apart as a one-of-a-kind cookbook. And as if all of this weren't more than enough, Dorie has appended a fascinating mini book, A Dessert makers Glossary, with more than 100 entries, from why using ones fingers is often best, to how to buy the finest butter, to how the bundt pan got its name. Dorie Greenspan has written or cowritten eight cookbooks, including Baking with Julia, which won a James Beard Award and an IACP Award; Desserts by Pierre Hermé, which was named IACP Cookbook of the Year; and Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé, which won the Gourmand World Cookbook Award for the best English-language cookbook. She created many recipes for The All-New Joy of Cooking and is a special correspondent for Bon Appétit, for which she writes the Tools of the Trade column.
