The first thing I looked for in the book was Pepperoni Pan Pizza, Season Eight, Disk three, first show, if you own the DVDs, as I do. It's not in there. Yes, there are pizzas, but not the recipe I wanted to make. The dough for the others is different, as is the sauce. Other than that, I'm all set. For a book which promises every recipe from every show, being 0 for 1 was not a pleasant surprise.
It's conceivable that the Pizza Dish is in there, please flame me in the comments, so long as you specify the page (it's not under Pizza, and it's not in the Italian dish section where the other pizzas are). I say that because the second recipe I wanted, from the same DVD, was a kuchen I plan to make tomorrow. Look up kuchen in the index, no go, look in the table of contents instead and, ah, there it is! They called it New York Style Crumb Cake in the show, so ... you find it under "N" in the index. How convenient!
This is a common flaw with ATk books (e.g. the season 9 recipe book I also have). They give an ordinary recipe a spiced up name, which by itself is all well and good. But then they list the thing only under the fancy name. They'd call an apple pie "xanadu" then list it under "x". The one thing I'd have expected is an episode list with a page reference for each recipe. It would have added 5-10 pages to a very large book. They list only the recipes for season ten. This would have helped find episodes as well, if you locate a recipe you'd like to make. I found Breaded Chicken Cutlets, and cannot find online which season it's from, so although I probably own the DVD, I can't watch it without starting up many disks and plowing through til I see it.
If you plan to flip through recipes, or when you can find what you're looking for, the book is fantastic, and the recipes are wonderful. They certainly didn't leave out many, the book is huge and heavy, with many nice photographs, equipment lists, and grocery lists. But, it does not do what they say it does - include every recipe - and the index is best described as jesuitical.
So far, I have made several recipes ranging from cookies to crab cakes to pork chops to fettucini alfredo ... and my family has loved every single meal. My husband, having developed a discerning palette from eating at restaurants so frequently, has decided that the ATK recipes are as good - and frequently better - than restaurant meals.
The best part of this cookbook is that they don't assume you know everything. Each recipe is preceded by "why this works" which is helpful to someone like me to learn the basic ins and outs of preparing foods in the best way. They describe why certain ingredients or processes tested poorly or well, which helps me to understand the chemistry of how ingredients behave (although their "Science of Good Cooking" probably goes into more detail).
These are not recipes for busy people - I can easily spend a couple of hours preparing a meal - they often provide alternate recipes or techniques to make a dish easier or faster. You have the option of going "old school" or trying the easier route, but both taste great.
Most importantly, though, the dishes tastes really good. This is also not a cookbook for dieting or health-conscious cooking. It's all about what tastes the best, regardless of what ingredients were required to get there. So you won't find any nutrition metrics because ... well ... it's just better to appreciate the great taste than worry about the calories.
I now own several cookbooks, but I keep coming back to this massive, in-depth collection from ATK. It has become my go-to cookbook. I highly recommend picking up this cookbook as the backbone to your recipe collection
I deducted 1 star because of this, I never did like false advertising. Would have been better named "most" or "Best" instead of "All".
On the other hand there is still a huge selection of recipes in the book and if you haven't bought any other "America's Test Kitchen TV Show" cook books from the series before then this is a real bargain over buying each year's cook book separately.
Was disappointed that while watching old shows of the TV series I would repeatedly see something being prepared and cooked on the show I would pull out the cook book to look for the Recipe only to find it's not in the cook book. So I still had to go online and search for it and if I could find it then download it and print it out to add a page to the cook book (just placed it loose in the back cover).
Wife complains Recipes are too "complicated"... which means need more then one step and more then one pot...
Something I have always done when cooking something like Italian sausage with onions and peppers is to cook the onions and peppers separately from the sausage, then place the onions and peppers on the sausage on the rolls. This gives distinct flavor contrast instead of having everything tasting the same if cooked all at once together. To me this is not "too complicated".
From the stand point of having something cooked consistently and tasting good I don't see any problem with the recipes. It does tell you why the steps are needed, the "why it works" intro to each recipe to have something that would be "fool proof".

UPDATE:
I've had this book for several months now and since writing my review, I've delved into the other chapters. I have to say that I now almost cook exclusively from this book and other titles by the Editors. Some of the recipes are the best I've ever tasted; the book is worth it for the Ultimate beef chilli alone! Yes, you will have to hunt out a few ingredients that are not readily available in this country, but substitutions are readily given. Other highlights are: pan-seared chicken breast with lemon and chive pan sauce, glazed salmon, nut crusted chicken cutlets with lemon and thyme, cuban style black beans and rice, salt-baked potatoes with roasted garlic butter ( the BEST baked potatoes for 5 minutes work!). Already I have a long list of recipes that I want to try: restaurant-style pan seared steaks with herb sauce and potato galette are on the menu this weekend. While some of the recipes do take time, much of it is hands off - oven, chilling or marinating time. None of the recipes are complex in terms of skill and the tips and advice are highly useful for the novice and experienced cook alike. There are also plenty of weeknight/time starved recipes - chicken fricassee, spaghetti with pecorino and black pepper ( this took 15min from start to eating) to name a few. I have yet to have a recipe fail and I think these recipes are so reliable that I would try them out for a dinner party without rehearsal. I've bought many other books by these guys and I'm getting more and more impressed! This is great book and great book for anyone who wants to cook (whether or not they can!)
