In the Kitchen with Jack: Watching good TV while this bread bakes

News on a famous chef friend + equipment sale! + popular bread book... [America’s Test Kitchen]( [Cook’s Illustrated]( [Cook’s Country]( [Kids]( [School]( [In the Kitchen with Jack. The Latest from America's Test Kitchen.] Dear Home Cook, One of the great joys of winter is all the time I spend in the kitchen. There’s no garden to tend, so life slows down and my cooking is all about comfort. I’m obsessed with the [Quesabirria Tacos]( from the current issue of Cook’s Country as well as [Fastest, Easiest Mashed Potatoes]( from Cook’s Illustrated. Both recipes put a smile on my face. [Quesabirria Tacos]( [Fastest, Easiest Mashed Potatoes]( Winter also means more time watching great television. I just watched Season 1 of High School, a compelling show about two teenage sisters discovering their musical talent. If you miss the ‘90s and love good stories, this one is for you. And please tell me that you’ve been watching our new show, [America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation]( on Amazon Freevee. There’s a spoiler in my P.S., but otherwise, it’s safe to keep reading: We have a winner, and they will be joining the cast of America’s Test Kitchen next season. [The contestants of America's Test Kitchen: The Next Generation]( [I loved being a judge]( on the show and had so much fun sharing this experience with Dan, Elle, and Julia. We’ve posted the best recipes from the show on our website (get them all with a [14-day free trial]( membership). Some top picks: [Easy Burnt Ends with Quick Pickles]( [Crispy Smashed Potato Salad]( and [Sizzling Steamed Fish with Chinese Broccoli and Chili Crisp](. My favorite moment from Season 1: Elle’s spoon drop (think mic drop) when she tasted [Sweet Potato Pie Ice Cream with Candied Walnuts and Maple Whipped Cream](. One of the best things I ate last year!! [Easy Burnt Ends with Quick Pickles]( [Crispy Smashed Potato Salad]( [Sizzling Steamed Fish with Chinese Broccoli and Chili Crisp]( [Sweet Potato Pie Ice Cream with Candied Walnuts and Maple Whipped Cream]( If you’ve been watching Next Gen, you’ve seen the General Kitchen—our R&D lab where recipes are developed and around which everything and everyone at ATK revolves. We’ve put together [this collection of kitchen essentials]( tested and recommended by our team—seen in the show. I’ve treated myself to a new [7-quart Dutch oven]( in ATK red, of course! Our daughters are getting our [winning Lodge cast-iron grill pans]( a versatile tool (Paninis! Perfect no-mess char marks on meats and veggies!) and the ATK sale price is pretty sweet. [Equipment featured on America's Test Kitchen: The Next Generation]( [Best seller! The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook 2023]( For more television viewing, there are new episodes of America’s Test Kitchen airing every week on your local public television station (of course I’m partial to the Italian Sweets episode that aired this month).

The Potato Biscuits with Bacon as well as the Garlic-Thyme Pull-Apart Brioche are two favorites from this new book. [Everyday Bread. Bacon and Garlic-Thyme Pull-Apart Brioche with instructional step photos]( One more recipe recommendation before I go. Last weekend, I made Rice Vermicelli with Chicken and Coconut Curry from [Cooking with My Dad, the Chef]( our new book from Boston chef Ken Oringer and his daughter—and ATK Kids recipe tester—Verveine. Ken is a James Beard–award winner and this book features family-friendly recipes; all of them are gluten-free.
