COMBINED VALUE:  $70.00 ; YOUR PRICE: $24.50 [ORDER NOW]( Dear friend, I don’t play favorites with the books we publish. Having said that, I admit that I love our Best of America’s Test Kitchen annual cookbook series. From among the 1,000+ recipes developed each year for [Cook’s Illustrated]( and [Cook’s Country]( magazines, our TV shows, and recent cookbooks, our editors nominate their favorites, and a heated competition ensues as we winnow the collection down to about 170 recipes. This year’s constellation of star recipes is the best I’ve seen (and tasted). We also include signature test kitchen resources, including featured product ratings from the magazines (not just the top picks but all the oven mitts we recommended, all the bone broth we tasted, etc.), 30+ ingenious quick tips submitted by readers, and the year’s Cook’s Illustrated kitchen basics features (“How to Harness the Flavor of Garlic,” “Build Your Best Burger,” and more). [This really is a special collection]( of hours of test kitchen work distilled into one beautiful hardcover book. Buy your 2022 edition directly from the test kitchen and we’ll include the 2021 edition as well. That means you’ll save 65% on the combined cover price of both books! All our best, [Jack's Signature] Jack Bishop Chief Creative Officer [2021 and 2022 Editions]( Two years of winning recipes, testings, and tastings! [BUY 1 GET 1 FREE]( This Year’s Very Best Recipes [Cast Iron Chicken and Vegetables]( From Cook’s Country Magazine Cast Iron Chicken and Vegetables What could be more comforting than a golden, crispy-skinned, juicy chicken paired with hearty roasted vegetables? For this recipe we achieved just that, all cooked in one pan to limit the cleanup. After butterflying the chicken and coating it with olive oil, we added our perfected mix of seasonings to both the chicken and vegetables for roasting. Using a preheated cast-iron skillet not only improved the flavor but also yielded better cooking results through a few simple techniques that you’ll want to save for later. NOTES FROM THE TEST KITCHEN CHICKEN PREP: BUTTERFLY AND SMASH [Step 1]( 1. With chicken breast side down on cutting board, use kitchen shears to cut through bones on either side of backbone; remove backbone and save for stock. [Step 2]( 2. Flip chicken, then use your palm to forcibly press down on breastbone to flatten. [Step 3]( 3. Tuck wingtips underneath breast, pat chicken dry, and cut 1⁄2-inch-deep slit into joint between thigh and drumstick on each side. [Choux au Craquelin]( From Cook’s Illustrated Magazine Choux au Craquelin This is not just a cream puff. The striking contrast between the minimally sweetened, crisp pastry and the voluptuous, vanilla-scented filling makes this choux’s combination magical. We began by making our pastry cream and dough (using both milk and water ensured that our dough would puff and brown perfectly). Lastly, before sliding the piped mounds of batter into the oven, we topped them with slim disks of a foolproof craquelin dough, which transformed into crackly shells as the puffs baked.

[ORDER NOW]( [Spice-Crusted Sirloin Steak with Asparagus and Lemon-Shallot Butter]( From Toaster Oven Perfection Spice-Crusted Sirloin Steak with Asparagus and Lemon-Shallot Butter Our favorite steakhouse combo is a juicy steak with vibrant asparagus. We set out to replicate it using only one small baking sheet and a toaster oven. While steaks are rarely baked, we took a creative approach to give you a flawless medium-rare steak that's practically all hands-off. A flavorful spice rub created in our test kitchen gives you an attractive crust without overcooking the interior, and fresh asparagus is roasted on the same baking sheet as the steak. Add a dollop of our simple (yet essential!) compound butter at the end of roasting and voilà , you have a steakhouse-worthy dinner all from your toaster oven. NOTES FROM THE TEST KITCHEN Seeking a SUBSTITUTE FOR STEAKHOUSE SEASONING? Our recipe works perfectly for a Tex-Mex flare. By swapping out your traditional steak seasonings (we still love you, parsley!), you can serve up a spicy Southwestern specialty that’s still worthy of a steakhouse menu. [Steakhouse Spice Blend; Tex-Mex Spice Blend]( [Vegan Chocolate-Espresso Tart]( From The Complete Plant-Based Cookbook Vegan Chocolate-Espresso Tart Combining “showstopping” with “dead easy,” this chocolate-espresso tart does the impossible. We started with our vegan tart dough, which we rolled out to fit the tart pan. Next, we made the simplest “water ganache” that became smooth and silky with a little whisking, set up beautifully glossy at room temperature, and sliced like a dream. For the last step, a three-ingredient espresso meringue gave this dessert an elegant appeal that could be piped or dolloped as we pleased. [Skillet-Roasted Green Beans with Garlic and Pecorino Romano]( From Cook’s Country Magazine Skillet-Roasted Green Beans with Garlic and Pecorino Romano We wanted green beans that were perfectly seasoned and fully tender and that had lots of caramelization. We also wanted a recipe that was quick and easy. Since green beans cooked with only dry heat tend to turn leathery and those cooked with lots of water never get much browning, we created a wet/dry method that will quickly become your go-to. A few final touches (including freshly squeezed lemon juice and shaved Pecorino Romano cheese) made these green beans truly irresistible. Two years of winning recipes, testings, and tastings!

It’s no surprise that good dinner rolls have a way of stealing the show, but striking a balance between light and fluffy and pleasantly dense and chewy is tricky even for veteran bakers. Andrea Geary’s Cook’s Illustrated recipe for [Oatmeal Dinner Rolls]( uses soaked old-fashioned rolled oats to give the rolls perfect complexity. Jessica Rudolph from Cook’s Country set out to make a delicious (year-round) peach pie. Her recipe for [Endless Summer Peach Pie]( gets its vibrant flavor from the frozen peaches, which are simmered with sugar to drive off any excess moisture. Russell Selander, from our book team, created a [Charred Chicken Caesar Salad]( with boosted flavor from broiled romaine brushed with homemade dressing for our cookbook Toaster Oven Perfection. Home cooks everywhere can now wow guests with this satisfying take on a classic Caesar salad. The best of the best from 2022 and 2021.
