Welcome to Americas Test Kitchen

This book has been tested, written, and edited by the folks at Americas Test Kitchen, a very real 2,500-square-foot kitchen located just outside of Boston. It is the home of Cooks Illustrated magazine and Cooks Country magazine and is the Monday-through-Friday-destination for more than three dozen test cooks, editors, food-scientists, tasters, and cookware specialists. Our mission is to test recipes over and over again until we understand how and why they work and until we arrive at the best version.

We start the process of testing a recipe with a complete lack of conviction, which means that we accept no claim, no theory, no technique, and no recipe at face value. We simply assemble as many variations as possible, test a half-dozen of the most promising, and taste the results blind. We then construct our own hybrid recipe and continue to test it, varying ingredients, techniques, and cooking times until we reach a consensus. The result, we hope, is the best version of a particular recipe, but we realize that only you can be the final judge of our success (or failure). As we like to say in the test kitchen, We make the mistakes, so you dont have to.

All of this would not be possible without a belief that good cooking, much like good music, is indeed based on a foundation of objective technique. Some people like spicy foods and others dont, but there is a right way to saut, there is a best way to cook a pot roast, and there are measurable scientific principles involved in producing perfectly beaten, stable egg whites. This is our ultimate goal: to investigate the fundamental principles of cooking so that you become a better cook. It is as simple as that.

You can watch us work (in our actual test kitchen) by tuning in to Americas Test Kitchen (AmericasTestKitchenTV.com) or Cooks Country from Americas Test Kitchen (CooksCountryTV.com) on public television, or by subscribing to Cooks Illustrated magazine (CooksIllustrated.com) or Cooks Country magazine (CooksCountry.com). We welcome you into our kitchen, where you can stand by our side as we test our way to the best recipes in America.

Introduction

Growing up on a farm, just about everything was Do-It-Yourself or D.I.Y. You milked the cow, picked the blackberries, and made your own Anadama bread using molasses and cornmeal. You changed your clutch, welded the snowplow, sharpened the chainsaw, and hunted for most of the meat in your freezer; almost always venison, with the odd rabbit or wild turkey thrown in for good measure.

These days, virtually nothing is D.I.Y. You cant adjust the timing on your distributor or replace a fuse, and most folks have even forgotten how to bake a cake or make biscuits.

All that is about to change.

With The Americas Test Kitchen Do-It-Yourself Cookbook, we want to put the fun and the homemade back into home cooking. Did you know that wine vinegar is nothing more than wine, water, and a store-bought culture left to sit on the counter? You can ferment your own hot sauce in a French press coffee maker with no daily skimming. Believe it or not, American cheese can be made in a food processor in just minutes, without the flavorings, colorings, and emulsifiers.

Yes, we show you how to make pickles and jams, but you will also learn to make recipes like marshmallows, graham crackers, homemade versions of Thin Mints, Nutella, Fritos, and Ritz crackers, plus cocktail bitters, root beer, tonic water, and ginger beer. This cookbook demonstrates, step by step, how to make homemade bacon, mozzarella, Greek yogurt, marinated artichokes, preserved lemons, salted caramels, and even your own tofu and harissa.

Some of these items are quick and easy, others are more complicated, but we have thoroughly tested each and every one of these recipes and photographed every step of the process (we include more than 700 large color photos) so you can be sure that they will turn out as advertised.

In Vermont, nobody tells you what to do. You learn by example, by watching others do something the right way. In fact, the only time I earned a rebuke was when I took a tractor and baler out of gear going downhill. The farmer, Charlie Bentley, allowed as how I might not want to do that a second time given the poor state of the brakes! So, we are offering to show you, not tell you, how to make your foods from scratch the smart way. Weve made the mistakes so you dont have to.
