Thought you might enjoy reading the Boston Globe Magazine civer article on Cook's Illustrated -- fairly accurate at http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/magazine/articles/2009/08/02/perfection_inc/. The copy on the cover was "It Takes a Tough Man to Make a Perfect Roast Chicken--With America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illustrated, Christopher Kimball has built an empire out of recipes. So what if a few employees cry along the way" |

Hmmmm ... "The second lesson: Pay attention, or else." ... when did Chris forget the second lesson? |

Really unflattering photo, too. While Bittman was correct in wondering how long you can keep working on roasted chicken, CI has begun to include international recipes, however tweaked to match Boston tastes. I would be that Chris remembers how the first Cook's failed, and it had lots of nifty stuff in it that most readers just don't seem to want. (remember how we asked and asked for fresh pastas and were told how they came in last on reader surveys?) Hey, it's nice to see someone putting out solid information about cooking real food is making enough money to keep doing it, and that people can find there is more to the kitchen that Sandra Lee and Rachel Ray. |

I cringe every time I see a "???? style" dish that involves any Southern (especially Texas) Cuisines ... Mexican is definitely not their forte' the one exception I have experienced was the chicken fajitas...those were quite good! They would be well served to actually recruit people who have culinary training and have immersed themselves in the local cuisines that they keep trying to "improve" Cali Rich is a good example...I think she is a standout from the "me too" crowd currently at CI. |
