Harvard Book Store is delighted to welcome back AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN for a presentation of their latest offerings, The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook 2001-2013 and The Science of Good Cooking.
Since its debut in 1999, America's Test Kitchen has been public television's most-watched cooking show. The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook 2001-2013 captures ten seasons of the show in a lively collection featuring more than 500 foolproof recipes and dozens of tips and techniques. You'll learn the secret to rich-tasting Weeknight Bolognese and Cheesey Garlic Bread in Bringing Home Italian Favorites. Prepare a platter of the best-tasting nachos you've ever had in Tex-Mex tonight. And discover a new way to cook the Thanksgiving turkey in Talking Turkey and All the Trimmings—choose among nine different recipes for the holiday bird—from Classic Roast Stuffed Turkey and Crisp-Skinned Butterflied Turkey to Herbed Roast Turkey, Grill-Roasted Turkey, and more.
In The Science of Good Cooking, America's Test Kitchen distills the past two decades of their test kitchen work into 50 basic cooking concepts, ones that every home cook should know. These concepts sound suspiciously simple: Gentle Heat Retains Moisture. Salty Marinades Work Best. Starch Helps Cheese Melt Nicely. Sugar Changes Sweetness and Texture. It turns out that these ideas are not only easy to understand but also easy to master. And don't worry there is no molecular gastronomy, liquid nitrogen, or fancy equipment involved. As always, their mission is squarely focused on great home cooking. In addition to explaining how food science works (and why you should care), The Science of Good Cooking shows you the science. This book brings you into the test kitchen with 50 unique (and fun) experiments engineered to illustrate (and illuminate) the science at work. The experiments demonstrate why adding fat to your eggs will make the perfect tender omelet, why grinding your own meat will make the ultimate burger, and why you should have patience before carving your roast.

Walking from the Harvard Square T station: 10 minutes
As you exit the station, cross Mass. Ave. and proceed along Brattle St. Follow Brattle St. as it curves to the right in Brattle Square (follow the sidewalk on the right side of the street). The Brattle will be on the left-hand side of the street. The building is shared with Algiers Cafe and Alden & Harlow Restaurant, and the theatre entrance is on the left side of the building—look for the sidewalk poster case and marquee.
