Harvard Book Store welcomes back the cast of America's Test Kitchen for our annual ATK event at the Brattle Theatre.

Weather Update

Tonight's event is scheduled to proceed as planned, unaffected by the winter weather. Any changes or updates will be noted here. (Updated 1/16)

About Nutritious Delicious

A simple approach to amping up the nutrition in our cooking, Nutritious Delicious focuses on 50 everyday superfoods among vegetables and fruit, grains, and proteins, and uses them as the basis for building more nutrient-packed versions of the dishes we love for every meal of the day.

About The Perfect Cookie

Portable, fun to make, easy to gift, and open to countless flavor variations, cookies are everyone's favorite sweet treat. America's Test Kitchen has years of experience making the very best cookies; in The Perfect Cookie, the test kitchen has collected all of that knowledge in one place for the definitive guide to cookie baking. This comprehensive anthology includes kitchen-tested, never-fail recipes for cookie jar classics, in addition to recipes for rich and chewy brownies, fruit-and-crumble-topped bars, quick no-bake confections, holiday favorites, and even candies like fudge and truffles; they're all included in this gorgeous package, with a full-page photo showing off every recipe. And, as only the test kitchen can, there are tips and tricks throughout the chapters, as well as an introductory section to get you started with insight on everything from what makes a cookie chewy versus crispy to what baking sheet you should buy so that your cookies bake evenly every time. The result? The perfect cookie.

Event Book Sales

Our featured books for this year's ATK event are Nutritious Delicious and The Perfect Cookie, which will both be for sale at the event for 20% off. 

Pre-sales book-bundled tickets will include either a copy of Nutritious Delicious or The Perfect Cookie. You decide!
