The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-18 Summary: The Best Cookbook ever ... This is the best cookbook I have ever used. I am a fairly experienced cook and love the "whys" of this book. It explains every recipe very clearly. The TV show is great, but it's a pain to get their recieps off the net. This is such a good book, everything I have made so far (5 different items)has not just been good, but great. Give it a try. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-26 Summary: Can't go wrong with this cookbook ... From a lot of cookbooks I buy I try 2-5 recipes max. Not this one. You can see that the recipes in this cookbook had their "reality check": they're not incredibly hard and they're very tasty. The only thing I'm missing, is a reference to season and episode per recipe. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-30 Summary: 10 Years of Testing Still Works ... This book, based on the TV show is comprehensive as it includes all years of the TV show. (They did publish last year's version which is all 9 years of the TV show) But if you haven't bought one of these books recently, do so now. You'll be surprised to learn Henkels is not the best knife to buy. Don't look for many recipes, expect technique that you can apply to other recipes. You stil need Julia Child's How to Cook, but you'll find out they have tested some 8 chicken roasts at different temperatures, different brands, ...more

Apple TV Pocket Guide, The (2nd Edition)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-09-26 Summary: Good source of information ... This book is about the size of a paperback novel (160 pages).

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-04-28 Summary: An overall Good Book..just a few ... 1.) The interviews in this book are invaluable. Interviews from both film students and professional in the industry. 2.) First 32 pages of the book, in my opinion, was hard to follow, learn and understand due to choice of words. If I hadn't of read "Crafty TV writing" by Alex Epstein, prior to reading this book, I would have been lost. THis book is for beginners, but Alexs book is for the beginner of beginners. 3.) Nice grids on pages so that you can do some training at home. 4.) This book is extremely analytical. ...more

Granted I am only at the beginning stages of my TV writing ambitions but reading this book was like discovering a shiny chrome zippo lighter after spending years trying to make fire by rubbing sticks together in the desert.
