5.0 out of 5 stars Cook's Illustrated, 1999, May 16, 2000

By A Customer

Combining 1999s' Cooks Illustrated magazine in one volumn; a must if you can wait 1 whole year to read this exceptional magazine. Not "just another cookbook"; but, a great resourse for both beginners and advanced cooks alike; with detailed instructions on recipes, cooking tips, resourse reviews, test kitchen results, hard to find cooking items. A must have technique book. And the editorials make great reading. One of my favorite quotes comes from a 1999 editorial: "Good cooks are masters of many things, improving and substituting to achieve modest ends. We should stand firm in front of the stove, feet planted in knowledge and experience, not as tourists surrounded by the unfamiliar". That sums up the importance of having this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cook's, August 15, 2005

By	Thomas W. Roth "twroth" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A good way to get a whole year of Cook's Illustrated in bound form and cheaper than buying the magazine by subscription. I got 4 of them and got free shipping, so how can you go wrong?
One can learn a lot from this source, and being in a bound, book format is icing on the cake.
The only thing is, it's hard to locate individual tips or recipes in such a large format, so have your bookmarks ready!

This review is from: Cook's Illustrated 1998 Annual (Cooks Illustrated Annuals) (Hardcover)

I love the magazine, and I love the option to get the year's recipes in a hardcover edition... I've never eaten better!
