I’m giving away an America’s Test Kitchen cookbook!

by admin on January 20, 2011

This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Tina A!

Ack! I’m so excited.

If you’ve been around here for much time at all, you know that I simply adore Cook’s Illustrated and America’s Test Kitchen (they’re the same company…one is a magazine and one is a TV show). Cook’s Illustrated is THE only website I pay to visit (the $35/year is so worth it!), and though I don’t usually watch America’s Test Kitchen (we’re going to call them ATK from here on out to save me some typing, ok?), I do love the cookbooks they put out. I have a number checked out from the library right now, actually!

Anyhoo. When they contacted me to see if I wanted to do a review and giveaway for their newest cookbook, I said a starstruck, “Yes!!!”.

Shortly thereafter, ATK’s Healthy Cookbook arrived at my doorstep. Yay!

Now, these days I don’t buy a lot in the way of healthy cookbooks (Michael Pollan’s “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” is what informs my thinking.), because they’re usually filled with recipes that aren’t too tasty and have iffy ingredients (like fat-free mayonnaise).

But since this one came from ATK, I knew I could trust it, and it did not disappoint. This cookbook focuses on real food (there are nuts and avocados and butter in the recipes, people!), and the ATK team refused to put anything in the book that didn’t please their discriminating palates.

For instance, they couldn’t figure out how to make a decent low-fat pie crust, so they chose not to include a pie crust recipe at all, rather than include one that was only passable.

Not only that, they didn’t pull the trick that most healthy cookbooks do, which is to make a recipe low-calorie by making the serving sizes infinitesimal.  No, the serving sizes are just as normal as the servings in all of their other cookbooks.

The cookbook is filled with beautiful photos…

and comes with plenty of in-depth non-recipe content, including food recommendations (the best balsamic vinegar, or the best olive oil, for example) and kitchen tool recommendations (like the best citrus squeezer or the best colander.).

I just love that about ATK/CI material…learning about ingredients and cooking methods and how to avoid common pitfalls is so helpful.

I’ve tried several recipes and many more are on my to-try list. For instance, there is this delicious-looking shrimp dish which includes avocado and tomato, and some yummy-looking quick cinnamon rolls, and Chicken Parmesan, and Crunchy Granola Bars.  And I gotta say, the Fruit, Granola, and Yogurt parfaits that Annie posted about this morning look super delicious too.

<Kristen adds them to her to-try list.>

So far, I’ve made shrimp burgers (which were sort of like a cross between a crab cake and a fish sandwich),

Green Goddess dip,

and Sweet Potato biscuits, which were great for using up some sweet potatoes I had sitting around. They have whole wheat flour in them, so between that and the sweet potato, I felt good about feeding these to my kids.

ATK gave me permission to post these recipes, but so that this post doesn’t get crazy long, I’m putting them in separate posts for you.  I’ve got the Sweet Potato Biscuit recipe and the Green Goddess dip posted, and once I get permission, I’ll get the Shrimp Burger recipe posted as well.

Now, the most fabulous part of all this is that I get to give away one of these cookbooks to you.  And this is not just any old copy…nope!  Your copy will be autographed by Christopher Kimball himself and if you’re as big a fan of his as I am, the autograph is quite the exciting touch. ;)

To enter, just leave a comment on this post. You can get fancy and tell me about your favorite way to cook healthy while sticking with real ingredients, or you can just cut to the chase and tell me you want the book!

I’m going to randomly choose a winner in 48 hours, so get your booty in gear and leave a comment before it’s too late.  ;)

If you don’t win the giveaway, never fear.  ATK’s Healthy Family Cookbook is available on Amazon, but I also recommend checking to see if you library has a copy. I’ve found a lot of ATK and CI cookbooks at my library, which makes me a happy camper.

Oh, wow! I love ATK!! I use the red cookbook religiously. I just bought the blue baking book and was dreaming about the healthy cooking book. What an awesome prize!

2 BHF January 20, 2011 at 8:51 am

Would love a new cookbook!

3 Melissa January 20, 2011 at 8:52 am

Oh my goodness! I would love this cookbook, not just the recipes, but the autographed copy! Thanks for everything Kristen!

4 Eliza January 20, 2011 at 8:53 am

Oh my word, I watch ATK all the time on PBS!

And I’m going to have to try those sweet potato muffins. I have some almost-gone sweet potatoes at home that need to be used.

5 Lee Ann January 20, 2011 at 8:54 am

Fabulous! I don’t usually enter in drawings, but I’ve received Cooks Illustrated for years – and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Thanks for passing this along to us. :)

6 Christine January 20, 2011 at 8:56 am

I love cookbooks and would LOVE to have one that would help me cook healthier for my family!!

7 Jeana January 20, 2011 at 8:56 am

I watch ATK whenever I can. I think they really break things down for people who don’t always know why things work the way they work. I’ve never been disappointed by a recipe. I’ve also been a subscriber online and they are often my go to place for new ideas. I’m really looking forward to enjoying my new cook book :)

8 Joanne M January 20, 2011 at 8:56 am

I hope I win!! I would love to try this book.

9 Katey January 20, 2011 at 8:56 am

This would be super-great to have! I love ATK!

10 Gretchen January 20, 2011 at 8:57 am

LOVE Christopher Kimball! We actually stayed in one of his rental houses in Vermont two years ago. A beautiful house – and it was stocked with every ATK and Cooks’ Illustrated cookbook published! I spent the entire time reading cookbooks and copying the recipes! (oh, I wished I had brought a scanner with me…)

11 Maggi January 20, 2011 at 8:57 am

Whoo hoo! Love ATK!
Personally, I just try to eat balanced – which in our house means whole, unprocessed grains, lots of fruits and vegetables, protein and a good dose of healthy fats (usually, nuts, olives and avocados.)

12 Jennifer January 20, 2011 at 8:57 am

Oh my gosh!!! We absolutely adore ATK in our house (we tape it and watch it together- seriously!). We are also mostly into healthy (real) cooking. So, this would be an amazing book to have in our home!! And, signed…. Whoa!!!! Ok, needless to say, this is an amazing giveaway and review. Thank you!!!

13 Trudy G. January 20, 2011 at 8:58 am

I am trying to eat healthier this year and recipes that use REAL food woudl be fantastic! I’d love to have this book.

Thanks for sharing!

14 Tiffanny Bernsee January 20, 2011 at 8:58 am

We are big fans of ATK at home. Whenever we go to make a recipe, we refer to their expertise and find it usually works for us too! So many hints and tips, it’s a treasure trove!
I would love a signed cookbook!!

15 Pamela January 20, 2011 at 8:59 am

I am trying to cook healthier for my family and use more real ingredients this year. This cookbook would help me so much!!

16 Sharon January 20, 2011 at 8:59 am

I WANT THE COOKBOOK! :) ! I don’t have very many, and this one sounds amazing…

17 Miranda January 20, 2011 at 9:00 am

I am a new mom and need a great recipe book and this one looks just perfect!

18 kiersten c January 20, 2011 at 9:00 am

I would LOVE LOVE this cookbook!! 2011 is the year for getting healthy!

19 Jenn C January 20, 2011 at 9:00 am

Yay! I love America’s Test Kitchen/Cook’s Illustrated! I would love this cookbook! I have the “red” cookbook and would love to add this to the collection. I trust their cookbooks wholeheartedly! I’m not one for “healthy” cooking since it usually includes icky stuff like splenda or using egg whites instead of whole eggs (Yak!!!). I do trust that ATK would use wholesome natural ingredients w/out sacrificing taste.

20 Tim January 20, 2011 at 9:01 am

Obsessed with ATK- have been watching it since it’s first year. Thanks for reviewing a quality company.

21 Anna January 20, 2011 at 9:01 am

I want the book! ;)

22 vicki January 20, 2011 at 9:01 am

i’m a HUGE foodie/cook and love cookbooks…….would LOVE to have this one too! great giveaway! :)

23 Jeanette January 20, 2011 at 9:01 am

You’ve made my mouth drool with the photos you posted. I’m always looking for healthy recipes to make for my wonderful family. It looks like this cookbook would have some very yummy recipes my family would enjoy. (crossing my fingers)

24 nestra January 20, 2011 at 9:02 am

I would love that book!

25 Lea Ann January 20, 2011 at 9:02 am

Love it! We’ve been working to make over some of our menus, to add variety an focus on more healthy foods. This cookbook sounds like a great resource in that journey! Thanks for the opportunity.

26 ani mia January 20, 2011 at 9:03 am

I am trying to cook healthier by using mostly ingredients that occurr in nature. Working to follow the rule that you don’t need to see most of the interior of the grocery store. It is a work in progress.

27 Michelle January 20, 2011 at 9:03 am

Yes please!!! This couldn’t come at a better time, the beginning of the New Year and both my husband & I both need to lose some pounds this would be a great help!!
Trying to cook healthier & making it taste good seems to be a very thin line to walk, especially growing up in the South.

Thank-you for offering this giveaway!!!!

28 Leanne January 20, 2011 at 9:04 am

My husband and I are huge fans of ATK, their recipes, and product recommendations. They never let us down! We would love to have this cookbook!

29 Sandy January 20, 2011 at 9:04 am

I would LOVE this book. I enjoy your blog and read it every day.

Thank you

30 Mandy January 20, 2011 at 9:05 am

Awesome! I would love this! I’ve been trying to cook more healthy this year by working our meals around more fruits and vegetables. This book would be a great addition to my recipes. What a great giveaway!

31 Marsha January 20, 2011 at 9:05 am

Looks like a great book to inspire my healthy eating resolution! Would love it!
Thanks for sharing!

32 Amber January 20, 2011 at 9:05 am

YAY, love new cookbooks!!!!!!!!!

33 Ann January 20, 2011 at 9:06 am

My husband and I love to watch America’s Test Kitchen on PBS on Saturday mornings. They have the best recipes! We would love to have the cookbook!

34 Summer January 20, 2011 at 9:06 am

I would love, love, love this cookbook! They always have such wonderful recipes!

35 Leah January 20, 2011 at 9:06 am

I would just love to have a new cookbook. My selection is very limited and I never know what would be good to purchase (or have the money to purchase) so this would be fantastic!

36 Sarita January 20, 2011 at 9:06 am

I love Christopher Kimball and America’s Test Kitchen! That looks like a beautiful cookbook.

37 Christina January 20, 2011 at 9:08 am

What an awesome giveaway!! I would love to win this! Cooking healthy with real ingredients and signed by Christopher Kimball!! Woo-hoo!!!!

38 Lynn January 20, 2011 at 9:08 am

I love ATK! My library doesn’t have this cookbook so if I win it, I promise to buy one to give to them too!

39 AnneWF January 20, 2011 at 9:09 am

I would love to win this book. I hope you pick me. I too am a fan of the site. I subscribed to the magazine and have subscribed to the site for years now. Thank you so much.

40 Jeanette C. January 20, 2011 at 9:09 am

Just love the Cook’s Illustrated items-thanks for sharing-can’t wait to try it or buy it!

41 Brenda January 20, 2011 at 9:09 am

I want this so bad, I’m wondering what I can do to convince you! I am feeding my sons more healthy food this year and am moving completely aware from fast food even though I am a full-time working stiff and single mom to boys 11 and 13.

Thanks so much for your terrific blog!

42 Molly January 20, 2011 at 9:10 am

OH MY GOODNESS OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!

My husband and I are HUGE fans of CI/ATK/Cook’s Country (in fact, they are the ONLY shows we watch!) and we would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to get this cookbook. You KNOW that their recipes are going to be good because they have spent all the time researching for you!

please pretty please? :-D

43 juli January 20, 2011 at 9:11 am

I watch the show on PBS….love it, would love a chance to win this book!!! :)

44 Kristen January 20, 2011 at 9:11 am

I love ATK! This looks like an awesome cookbook!

45 Jonathan January 20, 2011 at 9:12 am

I have always been a huge ATK fan and get Cooks Illustrated. What I love as much as the final recipe is the steps they took to get there. The fact the cookbook is signed is just “icing on the cake” as it were :)

46 Liz January 20, 2011 at 9:12 am

The nerd in me giggles with glee at ATK/Cook’s Illustrated. I got the “Skillet Recipes” cookbook for Christmas, but you can never have enough ATK/CI lessons! Thanks for the opportunity.

47 Kia January 20, 2011 at 9:13 am

Thank you for sharing! I would love to win this to help me with my New Year’s resolution to prepare healthier food for my family! This looks great!

48 Colleen January 20, 2011 at 9:13 am

Oh, that cookbook looks so cool! I might have to buy it if I don’t win it ;)

49 Cate January 20, 2011 at 9:14 am

Oh, wow, I would love to win this! My husband and I overindulged in way too many sweets and meat-heavy dishes over the holidays, and we both felt really sluggish afterward. So we’ve been eating a lot of whole grains and produce ever since. I’ve even been trying to plan a vegan dinner every week. I would love to have a dependable healthy cookbook to make this easier!

50 Sally January 20, 2011 at 9:14 am

What fun! America’s Test Kitchen is a favorite in our house. And so far as eating healthy goes, I think Julia Child had it right: Everything in moderation.

51 Angela L-G January 20, 2011 at 9:14 am

Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! I love America’s Test Kitchen/Cook’s County. It is one of my favorite late night programs on PBS. *fingers crossed.*

52 Alicia January 20, 2011 at 9:15 am

Those sweet potato biscuits sound delicious! I tend to enjoy cooking dishes that aren’t the most healthy, but I try to space the most decadent out with plenty of raw fruits and veggies and other low-fat (but tasty) nutrients. I would love a copy of this cookbook.

53 Linda Ho January 20, 2011 at 9:15 am

yay! You can never have too many cookbooks around :)

54 Sandy in MI January 20, 2011 at 9:15 am

I love ATK, and especially Christopher Kimball! You know when you make one of their recipes it won’t fail!

55 kim maselbas January 20, 2011 at 9:15 am

I want this book!
My favorite cooking show and I have 2 test kitchen cook books and use them all the time.

56 AC January 20, 2011 at 9:15 am

How nice! I love the red cookbook as well. Will have to get this one!

57 jen January 20, 2011 at 9:15 am

We’ve got to get back to eating healthy since the last 3 weeks with a newborn have us grabbing whatever is easy–which is usually not good for us. This book would help spur me on!

58 Maria January 20, 2011 at 9:15 am

I love America’s Test Kitchen and eating healthy. Sounds like the perfect combo. :-)

59 Brandie January 20, 2011 at 9:15 am

I have never read or saw the show but the reviews are great so I would love to receive a copy. The recipes you listed look great.

60 Whitney January 20, 2011 at 9:16 am

A Healthy Cookbook! I am trying to cook just for myself (which is not easy) so maybe this cookbook will help me loose weight and not eat takeout. I would love this book!

61 Amanda January 20, 2011 at 9:16 am

I love this magazine/tv show too! I didn’t know about this cookbook though – it looks great. I’m going to check my library’s on-line catalog right now to see if they have it!

62 sos January 20, 2011 at 9:17 am

I want to win the book!!

63 Barb January 20, 2011 at 9:17 am

ATK rocks. Would love to win the book! (I enjoy your blog.)

64 Barbe January 20, 2011 at 9:17 am

I would really like to have this book! I just got the TV Show Cookbook for Christmas and have tried many recipes so far. This would be a great addition to my collection! I love their show! I wish they would offer local classes too.

65 Kellie W January 20, 2011 at 9:17 am

I love to use greek yogurt in place of oil or sour cream.

66 Allison January 20, 2011 at 9:17 am

This would be great! I knew exactly what you meant about unrealistic portions in some “healthy” recipes (really, who eats just one cookie or biscuit). :-) I use the Baking Illustrated (goldish orange) book ALL THE TIME. I know if the recipe is in there it will be good and it will be accurate. Really nice to have that confidence in a cook book (only Rose Levy Berenbaum makes me feel the same way). My cousin gave me a subscription to the magazine for Christmas and while CI’s pizza crust recipe from the gold book was my favorite, their thin crust pizza in the newest issue has just blown me away. Whoever wins this will be really happy. Thanks for having the contest!

67 Carey January 20, 2011 at 9:17 am

Would LOVE a healthy cookbook for my family that also includes TASTE. Thanks for holding the giveaway!

68 Michelle January 20, 2011 at 9:18 am

I love ATK. I get all their e-mails and use their recipes all the time. I am trying to cook healthier by using whole wheat flour, more green veggies and making more homemade goodies, rather than buying them!

69 Jillian January 20, 2011 at 9:18 am

What a great giveaway – I LOVE him!! I feel like my family is eating so much better now that I am a SAHM but I totally need some new recipes so it’s not the same thing over and over again. I will be checking out my library!

70 Michelle January 20, 2011 at 9:18 am

Would love to have this cookbook! We could all use recipes that are healthier yet yummy and you know ATK can do it!

71 Tina Anders January 20, 2011 at 9:19 am

My hubby likes the variety a new cookbook brings to our house. I have never seen this cookbook before but it looks like a treasure trove! Great review! Thanks for all your helpful posts. Thanks to you I’m no longer scared of yeast bread! I’m so glad because it is so yummy!

72 Angie K January 20, 2011 at 9:19 am

Oh, i would love to have this cookbook! Especially signed :) I have a stack of my favorite cookbooks and magazines…and…they are my relaxing *me time* to look through them and plan. Sounds silly, I know *blush* but it’s what I enjoy!!!!

73 Erin January 20, 2011 at 9:19 am

Just getting into cooking really so this would definitely help me move forward in the cooking endeavors!

74 Jen S. January 20, 2011 at 9:19 am

Yeah! Sign me up for this one. I appreciate that they use real food and not too many crazy substitutes. In addition all that extra information on various products and tools is so great. Thanks.

75 Samantha Shaw January 20, 2011 at 9:21 am

OMG!!! I want this cookbook soooo much. My sister in law talks about their cookbooks all the time.

76 Molly F. C. January 20, 2011 at 9:21 am

I’m the chief cook and baker in my family of five and would love to have this cookbook. I don’t like using/consuming fake ingredients and try to avoid them. Don’t know if I’d be in the running for this cool item since I did win your gift bag last month. If I shouldn’t be included, I understand. If it is okay that I do enter, THANKS!

77 The Mrs January 20, 2011 at 9:22 am

LOVE real ingredients. Not many things have the power to put me down, but reading a recipe with “skim milk powder” or “margarine” in the list of ingredients is a pretty sure-fire way of making me frown.

78 ashlye January 20, 2011 at 9:22 am

i am a cook’s illustrated and cook’s country fan. i’ve had my eye on this book and winning it would make my kitchen’s (and family’s) day!!

79 Mary Sangster January 20, 2011 at 9:22 am

Oooooooohhhh!!! Eeek! I want it! I love ATK, and I’m always happy when I find it on TV, even if my hubby does make fun of me for it! Every recipe of theirs I’ve tried has worked great and tasted good (almost as good as Frugal Girl’s!!), and their recommendations have really helped in past purchases. Okay, now I’m going to submit this and just hope that I’m your random choice!!

80 Courtney January 20, 2011 at 9:23 am

I LOVE to cook and I have been stuck in a rut (I am blaming baby brain)!! This would be great to help me get creative and healthy!

81 Sharon White January 20, 2011 at 9:23 am

ATK. Christopher Kimball.

82 Heather Smith January 20, 2011 at 9:24 am

I love cookbooks!! This would be so great. Thanks!

83 Colleen January 20, 2011 at 9:24 am

My sister has been telling me these are the best cookbooks. I would love to try one!

84 Anne January 20, 2011 at 9:25 am

Real food IS healthy eating. This cookbook looks fantastic, and I would love to add it to my collection.

85 Paula January 20, 2011 at 9:25 am

I’m not much of a cook, so I’d be thrilled to have this cookbook. Especially one that gets you so excited, that’s a good indication to me that it’s a really good, fun book!

86 Erika January 20, 2011 at 9:26 am

ooh ooh I love to cook and this book looks beautiful!!!

87 Battra92 January 20, 2011 at 9:26 am

Chris Kimball seems like a pretty cool guy. Being a New Englander myself I find Cooks and ATK to be the only ones I trust when it comes to cooking and baking (well besides Alton Brown and King Arthur Flour)

88 sossity i January 20, 2011 at 9:26 am

love that show!! kids and i watch it all the time , would love to win :)

89 Kathleen January 20, 2011 at 9:26 am

Our whole family is a fan of ATK & Cook’s Country. We watch the shows and I gave magazine subscriptions for Christmas this year! I love the recipes….I have the Cooks Country magazine subscription and I have checked out all of the cookbooks that my library has……this would be awesome to add to my collection and would help us continue to eat healthy!

P.S. Loved watching Christopher Kimball on the latest This Old House……he can come help design my kitchen anytime!

90 Shannon Locklear January 20, 2011 at 9:27 am

I definitely could use this cookbook! I need to be cooking healthier meals instead of the fat-laden ones I have been cooking!

91 Kris January 20, 2011 at 9:27 am

I’d love to win this! Thanks for passing your blessings on to others.

92 Kathy M January 20, 2011 at 9:27 am

I would love to win the cookbook to give to my daughter. She is really beginning to enjoy cooking and trying new things. It would be a perfect gift for her. As always, thanks for the opportunity.

93 Kim January 20, 2011 at 9:27 am

I would LOVE to have this cookbook! I’ve been trying to cook healthier for my
family especially since my vow that our family WILL eat healthier this year whether they like it or not. I love the idea that the recipes sound like something we’d eat anyway, just healthier versions! Thanks for doing this giveaway. (fingers crossed)

94 Dru January 20, 2011 at 9:28 am

The doctor says to eat healthier so this is a great sounding cookbook to start with. I would love this cookbook.

95 Elle January 20, 2011 at 9:28 am

Cooking is therapeutic for me. I’d love a new cookbook – especially this one.

96 Philip January 20, 2011 at 9:28 am

Looks awesome! I would love a cookbook!

97 Debbie M January 20, 2011 at 9:29 am

This looks like a great cookbook and definitely worth getting, even if I don’t win (which I hope I do)!

98 Melissa January 20, 2011 at 9:30 am

America’s Test Kitchen is the only cooking show my husband will watch with me. I love all of the things they do. A healthy cookbook would be great!

99 Kathy January 20, 2011 at 9:30 am

I watch them on PBS but have never purchased any of their cookbooks.
I was always wondering about your shrimp burgers and how to make those.
Would love to win the cookbook!

100 Mrs. M January 20, 2011 at 9:30 am

I would LOVE this cookbook. Thank you for the giveaway.

101 Cindy January 20, 2011 at 9:30 am

I love when I catch their show on PBS! I’ve been trying to come up with ways to cook healthier that don’t include the artificial substitutes, but need a little help getting started. Especially since my husband doesn’t think he likes “healthy” food. Always enjoy reading your blog!

102 Sheryl F. January 20, 2011 at 9:30 am

I would love to have this cookbook. I recently got some of their books from the library.

103 tess January 20, 2011 at 9:31 am

oh wow-i really need help in the kitchen, yes, i’d love the book.
thanks

104 Melissa G. January 20, 2011 at 9:31 am

I’m so excited about this giveaway! I love ATK stuff too, and have been eying this exact cookbook on Amazon (it’s not at my local libraries yet). Thanks so much!

105 Snapper January 20, 2011 at 9:31 am

I love, love, love that show, and I’d love, love, love to win that cookbook!

106 Rachel January 20, 2011 at 9:31 am

That sounds like a wonderful cookbook!! We have been using E-Mealz recently to save money, and it has been helping us out health-wise as well. The meals are pretty balanced. Though, once the Aldi opens in my town in May, I may quit E-Mealz and do my own meal-planning :)

107 Reese January 20, 2011 at 9:31 am

I have heard wonderful things about ATK and CI… And while I cook mostly with substitutes and fat-free/low-fat stuff (Weight Watchers), my family definitely prefers the full-fledged, tastier version that is also higher in calories.

I know the book would probably make my family happier, and perhaps I could learn a thing or two about the ingredients whilst I’m at it! ;)

Really an exciting opportunity and I’m glad they contacted you Kristen :D

108 Nicole January 20, 2011 at 9:31 am

I love cook books. I recently quit my job and I am trying to cook dinner every night to try and save money and be more healthy. I would love to win this, thanks for the chance.

109 Bonnie January 20, 2011 at 9:32 am

Oh, I just love this. I used to watch ATK in my room while waiting for my then-boyfriend (now hubby) to pick me up for dates in high school! Now we have two little ones and their classic big red book :) Love all their recipes, especially their Thai Coconut Soup. Would love a copy…especially a signed one by Christopher himself!

110 Sarah January 20, 2011 at 9:33 am

I’ve been looking for months for a great “healthy” cookbook. This one looks amazing!

111 Heather C. January 20, 2011 at 9:33 am

I love love love ATK and your website! Bonus Bonus for the two to be in one place!

112 Karen S. January 20, 2011 at 9:33 am

OOOOOOhhhhh, this is exciting. I would love, love, love this cookbook!

113 Heidi January 20, 2011 at 9:34 am

Hey, this cookbook sounds fantastic, I wouldn’t want to miss out on an opportunity to win it! Thanks so much for continuing to inspire people with your great blog, recently joined and love it!

114 Trang January 20, 2011 at 9:35 am

What an awesome giveaway! I love everything ATK and Chris Kimball (I live by his Baking Bible). I’ll definitely check out my library for this book.
PS- just recently started following your blog and I find it very helpful and inspirational. Thanks!

115 Kayla January 20, 2011 at 9:35 am

This cookbook sounds amazing. I’d love to have it to add variety to my cooking.

116 Lynne January 20, 2011 at 9:35 am

I would love to win this! We love Cooks Illustrated and ATK!!!

117 kate January 20, 2011 at 9:36 am

I love CI/ATK too! I’ve never seen one of their cookbooks though, only the magazine. I’ll have to check at the library and keep my fingers crossed that I win this one! Thanks!

118 meg January 20, 2011 at 9:37 am

What a great give away. I love a new cookbook, although lately i’ve been buying less for exactly the reasons you stated- not enough real food ingredients. This looks like a great choice, and i’ll go check it out of my library (if I don’t win it of course) :-)

119 Desirae January 20, 2011 at 9:37 am

Well, I am officially hungry after drooling over the picture from the cookbook! This would be a great addition to our recipe collection. :)

120 Mikaela January 20, 2011 at 9:37 am

My family has had CI subscriptions for years, and I finally got an online subscription for Christmas this year. I’d love a copy of this cookbook.

121 Anne, Mommy Has to Work January 20, 2011 at 9:37 am

I would love this! I want to try new and healthy foods for my family.
Thanks!

122 David the Silver Fox January 20, 2011 at 9:37 am

I just love FREE stuff! So send ME the free cookbook!

Please.

Thank you.

David.

123 Nancy from Mass January 20, 2011 at 9:38 am

I love watching ATK and would love this book. The easiest way for me to cook/eat healthy is to grow most of what I eat, buy local eggs (we may get our own hens this spring!) and stay away from processed junk!

124 Elaina January 20, 2011 at 9:39 am

I’m a cookbook collector and one who is always in search of tasty, healthy recipes and of course free stuff so, add me to the list!

125 Andi January 20, 2011 at 9:39 am

I love C Kimball, I love ATK, I love CI, I love CC, I love their test kitchen, I would love this book. I get the CI annuals every year for Christmas.

126 Jen G. January 20, 2011 at 9:39 am

I would love to try this cookbook because we’d love to eat healthier…but I hate the way “healthy” can taste sometimes. Thanks for the giveaway!!!

127 Faith January 20, 2011 at 9:39 am

I want the book. I am so excited about the sweet potato bicuit recipe. I can’t wait to try it out. Also, this will make the perfect wedding gift for my sister!! But since her wedding isn’t for a couple more months I may have to use it a few times first. ha ha. I hope I win. :)

128 nancy January 20, 2011 at 9:39 am

I would love to win the cookbook! Thanks for offering it to us!!!

129 Bethany January 20, 2011 at 9:39 am

Those recipes look awesome. If only I had buttermilk and sweet potatoes at home, those biscuits would be great for our snow day!

130 Michelle January 20, 2011 at 9:39 am

This looks like an awesome cookbook! I’d love to have it. I am always looking for new, healthy ideas for my family.

I love your blog, by the way!

131 Frances January 20, 2011 at 9:40 am

Hi, I am fairly new to your site (last summer). My daughter-in-love shared your site with me and I am glad she did! Even we older moms/grandmas-to-be can learn! Thanks for your info. We have been working on eating healthier so it would be great to win the cookbook. But if not, we will keep learning from you and trying out the recipes you post.

132 Ashley A. January 20, 2011 at 9:40 am

cooking is my ultimate favorite thing in the world. I love to sub. greek plain yogurt for most anything with sour cream to make it healthier and I choose to bake instead of fry whenever I can get away with it without sacrificing. I want this book and I mean bad!

133 Karrie January 20, 2011 at 9:40 am

I could really use some help cooking… I bet this cookbook would be a good start :)

134 Jessica January 20, 2011 at 9:40 am

I would love that cookbook!

135 Angie K January 20, 2011 at 9:41 am

Oh, I would LOVE to have this cookbook! I adore cookbooks. I have a stack of them and love to just sit and look through them. Even more fun that a bath to me :)

136 Barb in GA January 20, 2011 at 9:41 am

Christopher Kimball signed it?! *SWOON*
I have the other two books, and would love to own this one. Pretty please?

137 Nancy Lee January 20, 2011 at 9:42 am

I LOVE ATK… I have it set to DVR every Tuesday and hubby and I watch it together…Being Diabetic the Healthy cookbook would really help me out… Thanks for a chance to win Chris’s autograph…he is the best…

138 Carey January 20, 2011 at 9:42 am

I’m a big Cooks’ Illustrated fan as well. Thanks for having this giveaway.

139 Becca J January 20, 2011 at 9:43 am

I just found your blog last week and have been enjoying your old posts on all topics of interest to me: food, frugality, and life as a busy mom. What a fun giveaway–I’d love to get my hands on this book either in a giveaway or from the library!

140 Carrie January 20, 2011 at 9:43 am

What a great cookbook!

141 Rene' January 20, 2011 at 9:43 am

I would love this cookbook. Our family is changing the way we eat and for the better. Thanks, Kristin. I want this book.

142 Crystal@Green Mittens January 20, 2011 at 9:44 am

Oh my, we LOVE the test kitchen around here! My husband is always watching that show – and passing along what he learned :) Would love to win this cookbook!

143 Christie January 20, 2011 at 9:44 am

I love the television show and would love to have a cookbook.

144 Amy H January 20, 2011 at 9:44 am

I love, love, LOVE ATK!!! I like that they use REAL ingredients and explain the reasons for the methods they chose for each recipe. I would love a copy of their newest healthy cookbook.

145 Brenda Slye January 20, 2011 at 9:45 am

Good morning,
Ok, I’ll cut to the chase, I want one, pleeaaasseee..ha ha..
Never saw or heard of that cookbook before.
Love to cook healthy meals for our family. We usually cook mostly from scratch which is the healthiest, we believe..less preservatives, sodium, unpronounceable ingredients and we know what we are eating.
have a good day,
Brenda

146 Whitney W January 20, 2011 at 9:45 am

I would LOVE this cookbook!!

147 tara morrison January 20, 2011 at 9:45 am

I have on line subscription to both cooks country and CI as well as paper subscriptions as well, needless to say I love CI. My secrets to cooking healthy include strained yogurt or greek yogurt, evaporated milk and strong cheeses! These replace a lot of calories with out losing flavor.

148 Vanessa January 20, 2011 at 9:46 am

Can you tell we just love the free give-aways? ;) I would love to have this…whatever Goddess Dressing is, I’d like to put it on some broccoli and CRUNCH!
Thank you for always giving us fun, awesome stuff. You rock, Kristen.

149 Emily January 20, 2011 at 9:46 am

I always love more cookbooks and appreciate the meticulous nature of CI.

150 Jeannette Trombley January 20, 2011 at 9:46 am

I would love this book!!! We are all trying to eat healthier and be healthier here!! This would be great! Thanks for the chance!

151 Cindy January 20, 2011 at 9:47 am

Woo-hoo! I LOVE Cook’s Illustrated, and my family would LOVE this cookbook!

152 TracyDK January 20, 2011 at 9:47 am

Oh my goodness! This is so awesome. I have been trying (seemingly in vain!) to find a cookbook that I could trust (CI and ATK are trusted sources to me!) and would still provide a healthy meal. This is perfect! I’m definitely going to try this, however, if I don’t win it, I’m buying it! Thank you so much, Kristen.

153 Jesse January 20, 2011 at 9:48 am

i love cookbooks and i’d love to win this book :)

154 nancy January 20, 2011 at 9:48 am

i love ATK. i have their family cookbook and it is fast becoming my “go to” cookbook. i would love, love, love to add this one to my collection!

155 Tricia January 20, 2011 at 9:49 am

I love that show. It’s very technical, but good tips, especially when they review kitchen tools. Healthy recipes are even better!

156 Colleen Daivs January 20, 2011 at 9:49 am

After hearing you rave about these cookbooks, I would love to have one of my own!

157 Zoe January 20, 2011 at 9:49 am

This book would be perfect for my family! My husband is on a health kick, which I am very proud of him for, but it’s a diet that does not include REAL ingredients like butter, sugar, etc. I on the other hand am trying to eat healthier but cannot give up the taste of real ingredients, so I have turned into a bit of a short order cook lately. I can’t wait to see how this book can not only improve our diets but make my life in the kitchen that much easier.

158 graciasmama January 20, 2011 at 9:51 am

I want the cookbook! I LOVE cookbooks…and cooking of course!

159 Annette January 20, 2011 at 9:52 am

I’d love a copy! (I have another one of their cookbooks and I love it!)

160 Elaine January 20, 2011 at 9:53 am

I love your blog! I found it through I heart organizing. I’m not sure if this is right, but I’m trying to sign up for your fabulous cookbook contest! Thanks!

161 Kari January 20, 2011 at 9:54 am

Wow! Would love to give it a try!

162 Lisa January 20, 2011 at 9:54 am

I want this cookbook! Thanks!

163 Denise January 20, 2011 at 9:54 am

I have been trying to cook our meals more now and I love ATK’s show and recipes.

164 jessica dodd January 20, 2011 at 9:54 am

Hey, I want this book too! Thanks

165 Tina January 20, 2011 at 9:54 am

My hubby loves the variety a new cookbook brings to our house! I have never seen this one but it looks like a treasure trove! Thank so much for your many helpful posts. Thanks to you I’m no longer scared of yeast bread! I am so glad because it is so yummy and there is something special about making bread with your own hands. I love it! Thanks again!

166 NicoleMarie Durant January 20, 2011 at 9:54 am

WOW!! What a great prize!!!! ATK is my “go to” for recipes, cooking tips and is the “supreme authority” for cooking equipment. I totally trust their reviews.
Since last October, I’ve been on a total personal life makeover of sorts . I started exercising and eating only healthful foods. I buy ALL of the food for my family at our local co-op. Mostly organic foods, grass fed beef, free range chickens, etc. It’s a little more expensive but definitely worth it. By making these changes I’ve lost a total of 43.6 pounds. I feel great!!!! This cookbook would make a welcome addition to my collection. These days I’m looking for the best healthy recipes out there!!. Thanks for all you do, Frugal Girl!

167 TANYA WILSON January 20, 2011 at 9:55 am

would love to have this cookbook. Thanks for offering it.

168 Jodie January 20, 2011 at 9:55 am

My family and I enjoy the ATF show and would love to have this cookbook!

169 Kristin January 20, 2011 at 9:55 am

I love a cookbook that uses ingredients instead of franken-food. :) Thanks for the giveaway!

170 Ingrid January 20, 2011 at 9:56 am

I LOVE these shows/cookbooks/recipes. Looks like a great cookbook to own. Thanks for the chance to win!

171 Elizabeth Rodkey January 20, 2011 at 9:57 am

I would LOVE this book, ATK recipes are fool proof!

172 Tricia January 20, 2011 at 9:58 am

I am always on the look out for new and healthy cookbooks. It would be nice to add a little variety to the menu planning. :)

173 Franci Hoyt January 20, 2011 at 9:58 am

Pick me, pick me, random number generator! Here! Yes, me! Please….?

174 Jennifer P January 20, 2011 at 9:58 am

I am a cookbook collector & have a cabinet full of them. Went to Mt. Vernon this fall & I came away with a cookbook as a souvenir. Have all different types of cookbooks & especially love ones done by local groups as there are always tried & true recipes in them. Would really enjoy having this cookbook, as I know it is a source you trust & I really enjoy all your recipes you post.

175 Kim January 20, 2011 at 9:58 am

I love cookbooks! I am trying cook healthier for my family.

176 Joan January 20, 2011 at 9:59 am

Wow, I love Cook’s also and your photographs of the prepared dishes and the review are great.

Yes, in a day when cook books are filled with food that is not something my family would even eat, Cook’s is a refreshing and much needed resource.

Thanks for sharing and I would love to be recipient of their cookbook.

Joan

177 Nancy Burt January 20, 2011 at 9:59 am

I would love to win the book. Pick me! Pick me!! :)

178 Kari January 20, 2011 at 10:05 am

Wow! Would love to give it a try! My family has really enjoyed the receipies I have tried so far from your blog.

179 Nancy Burt January 20, 2011 at 10:05 am

What a great giveaway! Thank you!! I would love to win the book. Pick me! Pick me!! :)

180 Melissa January 20, 2011 at 10:06 am

Would LOVE a copy of this cookbook as I strive to make sure my husband and I eat healthy!!

181 Bill January 20, 2011 at 10:06 am

I have been a big fan of Cook’s Illustrated, Cook’s Country and America’s Test Kitchen for years! I will not pay for the website, however because after you subtract what is available in the magazine, on TV, and in the cookbooks (I own 6 of theirs) there isn’t enough that’s web-exclusive to make it worth the money. I would love another cookbook, however!

182 Sara F. January 20, 2011 at 10:08 am

This is a great giveaway! My husband and I love ATK!

183 Pat C January 20, 2011 at 10:09 am

I am a great fan of Cook’s Illustrated and find their recipes to be dependable and flavorful. Like many, I am trying to prepare healthy meals for may family. I would love to have this cookbook!

184 aaron rishell January 20, 2011 at 10:10 am

I can’t think of healthy ways to cook even though I need to, I would love to have the cookbook. I have the red one and plan to pick up the baking one in the near future.

185 Jennifer January 20, 2011 at 10:10 am

I am so inspired by your website. So glad I found your blog through CBN!

186 Amy January 20, 2011 at 10:10 am

Love, love, LOVE ATK!

187 Elaine January 20, 2011 at 10:11 am

Yay for great cookbooks. This one would be amazing.. Loving the pictures.

188 Kimberly Yue January 20, 2011 at 10:11 am

Awesome! I love watching their show, trust everything they have said/done as it turns out every time. So awesome and whether I win this book or not, I will probably add it to my recipe collection (and I don’t often order without borrowing first!). Thanks for the contest :-)

189 Rebecca January 20, 2011 at 10:12 am

Like many, I have been a fan for years, and have several of their cookbooks/ magazines. Right now their 30 minute meal book is my fave, its fast, flavorful and REAL FOOD! Would love to add this too my collection; of course, I will have to find a way to keep my dad from taking it, I got him hooked now too!

190 Amber January 20, 2011 at 10:12 am

Great giveaway, I totally love ATK!

191 Stephanie F January 20, 2011 at 10:13 am

Any book that will help me cook great meals with real
ingredients would be welcome. Thanks for this great giveaway!

192 Christy January 20, 2011 at 10:13 am

I’m honestly not familiar with ATK, but with such a glowing review as yours, I am sure the cookbook won’t disappoint. I’ve been trying to cook healthier, but with “real” ingredients, but there’s no use in making it if the food doesn’t taste good. Sounds like this would be a huge help.

193 WilliamB January 20, 2011 at 10:13 am

Looks good to me. I like the binding, too – very useful in the kitchen. If the keep recipes to one page or facing pages only, then they’ve hit the Trifecta.

194 Samantha Clark January 20, 2011 at 10:14 am

Wow, that all looks so fantastic!! What an exciting opportunity!

195 Tina V January 20, 2011 at 10:16 am

A healthy cookbook is something that we all should have. I would absolutely love to have this. Thanks!

196 Renee January 20, 2011 at 10:17 am

I would love love LOVE to win this! Like you, I’m leery of “healthy” cookbooks (and cookbooks in general – I’m kind of spoiled now that so many recipes are available online with reviews so you know more what you’re getting.) But based on your recommendations, I will certainly check this one out!

197 Tammy/psmflowerlady January 20, 2011 at 10:17 am

Please enter me for drawing. Thank you for making it available.

198 Jen January 20, 2011 at 10:17 am

I love that this book uses real food. Fat free anything doesn’t make the cut in my house! I’d love to get my hands on it!

199 Lisa Rose January 20, 2011 at 10:18 am

I love cookbooks! I especially love three ring binder style cookbooks! It’s so convienent when I am whipping up a new dish for my family. ATK is one of my favorite cooking shows, the use of “real” ingredients is what draws me in. Thanks for offering such a great giveaway!

200 Brenda January 20, 2011 at 10:19 am

This looks like such a wonderful cookbook!

201 Jennifer Wood January 20, 2011 at 10:21 am

I just want to say I heard about you on the 700 club looked you up, and now I am hooked. Yes I want the cook book. I just had my fourth girl, and I am wanting to loose some baby weight. With a new cookbook that would be a plus. Thanks for the info you give us it is such a blessing.

202 Val January 20, 2011 at 10:21 am

I want the book! :)

203 Lesli January 20, 2011 at 10:21 am

I would LOVE the book! And the shrimp burger recipe, since I have some shrimp I need to use. :)

204 adrienne January 20, 2011 at 10:21 am

Love ATK!

205 jen b January 20, 2011 at 10:22 am

I’d love this book! We sub whole wheat for part of the flour in recipes, and I’ve started subbing wheat germ for some of the flour as well.

206 Oma Chastka January 20, 2011 at 10:22 am

I’ve been looking for a recipe book with healthy recipes, that still are normal food. Love your blog. God bless

207 Peggy January 20, 2011 at 10:22 am

I’d love to have this cookbook!

208 Jess T January 20, 2011 at 10:22 am

I would love this cookbook! I love their “regular” recipes, so I’m sure the healthy ones won’t disappoint.

209 Jenny Bullard January 20, 2011 at 10:23 am

Today… I believe my life has changed. I am battling a life choice that has caused my priorities to be lost & shifted…. far away from where I know my heart is, which is Home, Children, Cooking, Homemaking, Quality time with those things that are important. I stumbled across you today, & I know it’s not coincidence… or just my luck…but the wakeup call I needed to make a very tough decision & give my heart back to my family again. Actually, seeing this cookbook is what caught my attention, so I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this!!!!! If nothing else…. you’ve made a difference in someone today…. & I’m here to stay!

Thank you…. more than you know :)

210 Sarah January 20, 2011 at 10:25 am

I have heard a lot of good things about this cookbook and would love to win it!

211 adventuresindinner January 20, 2011 at 10:25 am

Wow! What a great treat! I love the recipes that ATK produces, they are both realistic and imaginative.

212 Jill January 20, 2011 at 10:25 am

This looks like a great way to cook healthy, great tasting food for my family! I would love to win!

213 Sue Cain January 20, 2011 at 10:26 am

I love cookbooks, and have checked the Test kitchen ones out of the library, they are really good.

214 Leigh Ann January 20, 2011 at 10:26 am

I always need healthier recipes. So please enter me into the drawing.

215 Heather January 20, 2011 at 10:26 am

This cookbook looks like just the opportunity I need to quit eating our old standbys and try some new recipes!!

216 Josie Cooper January 20, 2011 at 10:26 am

Wow! I would love an ATK cookbook! What a great prize!

217 Victoria January 20, 2011 at 10:27 am

I’m looking for some cooking inspiration at the moment and would love a copy of that cook book. I do enjoy watching ATK when I can catch it.

218 Amy January 20, 2011 at 10:27 am

My favorite way to cook with real ingredients is to not keep any non-”real” foods in the house. Makes things much harder to cheat on that way ;-)

I’d love to win this book!

219 Vicki January 20, 2011 at 10:27 am

I love cookbooks and would love to have this one to add to my healthy collection. Thanks for sharing!

220 Amanda Olafsson January 20, 2011 at 10:27 am

My friend has the regular ATK Cookbook and we’ve tried a few things from it – almost everything has been excellent! I didn’t know they had a healthy one! I would love to win this!

221 Marg January 20, 2011 at 10:27 am

I’m with you, I love ATK and CI! I can watch both all day long. I have the first set of videos from the first year of ATK and want to collect all of them. I have a little cookie jar of change to save! Of course I’ll never buy all of them (ten years worth) but it’s fun to save for something like that lol.

Is there a section for meatless? My daughter who is 13 has just turned semi-vegetarian and so I’ve been trying to be creative. It’s just the two of us (single mom trying to learn to be frugal!) and I need to lose weight and get healthy so this would be a great cookbook to have.

I just love your website, thanks for all the great blogging and pics and window in to your lovely family life! :-)

222 Kris January 20, 2011 at 10:27 am

Glad to hear you like this cookbook — it’s high on my list of things to buy!

223 Wanda Barrett January 20, 2011 at 10:27 am

I’m with you – this is the only website I pay for. I don’t have any of their cookbooks, so this would be awesome.

224 Cherie K. January 20, 2011 at 10:28 am

Yes, please, I would love this cookbook!

225 Vicki January 20, 2011 at 10:28 am

I would consider myself lucky to own this cookbook – and be given it as a gift (winning the cookbook) as I know that “healthy” eating and cooking is where I need to be, and that the person who is giving it away is wanting the same for me and others. Thank you for filling my life with “you”.

226 Megan H January 20, 2011 at 10:28 am

How fun! I always check out the CI magazine when I’m at the library. Sign me up to win!

227 Halli Simpson January 20, 2011 at 10:29 am

I would love to have this cookbook and be truly thankful to have it! I have been on a weight loss journey for the past two years (through weight watchers) and I am always looking for new, interesting, and healthy recipes to try. So far I have lost 50 lbs and have a bit more to go. I’m also trying to get my hubby on board with the healthy way of eating (he is pre-diabetic), but this is slow going since he is a real meat and potatoes kind of guy. I’m hoping this book has some delicious “real” food recipes that even he would like!

228 Peggy Hainy January 20, 2011 at 10:29 am

Thank you so much for the giveaway. My daughter and I would love this cookbook.

229 Jill January 20, 2011 at 10:30 am

Just found your website last week, and now it is the first I check daily. LOVE IT!!! Would absolutely LOVE to win this book!!!

230 Amara January 20, 2011 at 10:30 am

Oh mercy! Would love! :)

231 Lucy January 20, 2011 at 10:32 am

My husband & I really enjoy the tv show. Having this book would be great!

232 mickdess January 20, 2011 at 10:33 am

Pick me, pick me. I love a good cookbook.

233 Kelli January 20, 2011 at 10:34 am

I would love to win this cookbook to help my family eat healthier!!

234 Mrs. B. January 20, 2011 at 10:35 am

This is one cookbook I would really love to win. I have gotten rid of all my unhealthy cookbooks and I am trying to replace with healthy alternatives…this would really help me.

235 Karissa January 20, 2011 at 10:35 am

Hey, I’m not fancy ;) I’d just like to win the cookbook!

236 Martha January 20, 2011 at 10:36 am

Holy tamoly I’d like this cookbook!

Thanks!

239 Patti S. January 20, 2011 at 10:37 am

Ooh, I want that book! My parents watch the show and send me recipes from it all the time!

240 Elizabeth January 20, 2011 at 10:38 am

The green goddess dip looks great! I love your blog – so positive and informative.

241 Cheryl January 20, 2011 at 10:39 am

I would *love* to have that book!

242 Katie January 20, 2011 at 10:39 am

I was perusing their non-healthy family cookbook just last night!

243 Beverly Langley January 20, 2011 at 10:39 am

Looks like a terrific cookbook. Would love to have it too!

Bev

244 Lynda January 20, 2011 at 10:39 am

I’d love this cookbook! Thanks for being willing to be their giveaway person!

247 Brie N. January 20, 2011 at 10:41 am

I would love to get a copy of this book, I have been having such a time finding healthy or healthier yeast bread recipes, I would love to try that cinnamon roll recipe you mentioned. Thanks for the giveaway!

I found out about this from my Cook’s Illustrated newsletters. It made me so happy to see your blog on the list!

254 Brenda H. Turner January 20, 2011 at 10:45 am

I would love a cookbook that shows a more healthy way to eat!

255 The Environmental Goddess January 20, 2011 at 10:45 am

I want it I want it I want it! Yay for Christopher Kimball’s autograph!
I am so lazy at cooking and absolutely need a good and healthy cookbook!

256 Debbie Topp January 20, 2011 at 10:46 am

I would LOVE to try this cookbook. Having been recently diagnosed w/ Type2 Diabetes, I am rebuilding my cookbook collection. This sounds like it would be wonderful!

257 JoAnn D'Angelo January 20, 2011 at 10:46 am

Love ATK – just made their Chocolate Blackout Cake – it was fabulous. Would love to win this cookbook!!!

258 Lisa Hoekje January 20, 2011 at 10:46 am

I love America’s Test Kitchen. Thanks for the chance to win:)

259 Vicki January 20, 2011 at 10:47 am

As the cook in our house, my HUSBAND would LOVE one of these! He’s always trying new REAL food recipes!

260 Julia Avina January 20, 2011 at 10:47 am

Cutting to the chase . . . I would love to win this book :-)

261 Sheri January 20, 2011 at 10:50 am

I love CI and am happy to see them come out with more healthy recipes.

262 Rhonda Levitt January 20, 2011 at 10:54 am

I am a wife & mother of 2 boys. I just discovered your blog about 2 weeks ago, & I have become addicted to reading it & searching all of your past posts! Your blog has inspired me in several ways, one of which is to cook more for my family rather than the usual frozen meals, simple box type meals, & takeout that we have become very accustomed to! In the past week or 2, I have done more planning, cooking, & baking than I have done in the past 3 months or more! Not only that, but I am feeling great about it & enjoying it! I have to thank you for this, as I did not have this inspiration prior to reading your blog! Anyway, a new cookbook would help greatly, as I don’t have a lot of recipes to follow currently. Thank you for the chance & for your awesome blog!

263 Elizkat January 20, 2011 at 10:54 am

ATK is my guilty pleasure! They always sound so authoritative and I trust them completely. I’d LOVE this cookbook.

264 Herb A January 20, 2011 at 10:54 am

We have started watching America’s Test Kitchen on PBS and this cook book would make a great addition to our homeschool curriculum.
Thanks for keeping up this site.

265 Nik January 20, 2011 at 10:54 am

Love ATK! This would be a great way for my family to eat healthier! I’m not fancy with my words, but am grateful at a chance to win this!

266 Leela January 20, 2011 at 10:55 am

Would love to win this book; ATK’s light recipes are the best!

267 T Nilsson January 20, 2011 at 10:55 am

okay, have to comment…. because not wanting a good free cookbook would just be silly!

268 Lisa Anderson January 20, 2011 at 10:55 am

I love ATK – and have heard great things about the new cookbook – I would love to win it and give it a try.

269 caylen January 20, 2011 at 10:55 am

i love atk!!!!!!! and i would LOVE this cookbook!

270 Lindsay O'Brien January 20, 2011 at 10:55 am

I love ATK! My secret to healthy eating is to try lots of different salads and veggies…mix it up. And don’t be afraid to use a little bit of olive oil or butter on your veggies too…it doesn’t need to be soaking in fats but a little goes a long way with taste!

271 Linda H. January 20, 2011 at 10:56 am

Suddenly feeling hungry…..I would love this cookbook!

272 Diane January 20, 2011 at 10:56 am

would love to receive!

273 namastemama January 20, 2011 at 10:57 am

Please oh, please oh, random machine picker, pick me! A note about eating healthy and pie. One, I don’t see how you could make a low fat pie crust, for it is the fat that holds the flour together. I’ve even had crust made with olive oil but you still have the fat content. Two, I LOVE pie. I consider it a delicacy, really. I was at my fittest and trimmest in my early 30s and had a weekly piece of pie at a fab pie shop, right across from the GYM. I always worked off way more calories than the pie though. Also, when I started making pies I only did so at Thanksgiving with the highest quality ingredients; organic apples and sugar, Penzy’s cinnamon. If you make your own you can appreciate the work and savor every bite. I also make pies during strawberry/rhubarb season and now a chicken pot pie in winter. If most of your diet is Mike Pollanish then you can have your pie and eat it too! Real food for Real people.

274 Elizabeth Dawson January 20, 2011 at 10:57 am

I adore ATK and would love to own one of their cookbooks! I get the magazine now– I hadn’t even realized they made books! *forehead smack*

275 Kate January 20, 2011 at 10:57 am

I LOVE ATK. I refer to their website and cookbooks all the time. Every recipe I’ve tried always works out and is super yummy!

276 Lara Marshall January 20, 2011 at 10:57 am

Love your blog, and the pictures are awesome! Big fan of ATK, Cook’s Country and Christopher Kimball. Watching them on PBS every Sunday is a ritual. Would absolutely relish having this cookbook! ATK always has such terrific recipes and cooking tips! Thanks for having the giveaway! Hope I win! Fingers crossed!;)

277 Mayra January 20, 2011 at 10:57 am

Please enter me for the book!! Thank you!!

278 katy January 20, 2011 at 10:57 am

What a wonderful show. As we attempt to improve our eating habits, I cannot think of a better go to book.

279 De January 20, 2011 at 10:57 am

I dvr all the ATK and Cook’s Country shows. I would love that cookbook, the layout is fantastic!

280 Sarah Ballenger January 20, 2011 at 10:58 am

I love watching ATK! I’m super bummed if I miss it. My husband loves to watch it with me too.

281 Christina January 20, 2011 at 10:58 am

Yay! this is an awesome giveaway. Thank you!

282 Kristen January 20, 2011 at 10:58 am

Would love a new cookbook!

283 Ken January 20, 2011 at 10:58 am

I would love a new cookbook, even though I don’t have room for one more, I could squeeze it in and use it and place clear packing tape over the signature as not to get spaghetti sauce on it and mess it up.

284 Victoria Zaldivar January 20, 2011 at 10:58 am

Their New Best Recipes book is a go-to in my kitchen. Love it!

285 Shirley January 20, 2011 at 10:58 am

My husband and I are in our 60′s and I am trying to cook in a more healthy manner. Because I love all the ATK subsidiary recipes, I’d love to have this cookbook to help me in my endeavor. I’ve never found a recipe from them that is less than stellar.

286 Libby January 20, 2011 at 10:59 am

I, too, love ATK and would love to try some healthy recipes too! What a great giveaway!

287 Chris January 20, 2011 at 10:59 am

Sounds like an awesome cookbook. I need to start cooking more often.

288 Dawn January 20, 2011 at 11:00 am

MY other half Rich loves AMK. Thats all he will cook. If he is looking for a recipe and I tell him I’ll look on the net. He will yell “NO” and go through his ATK books. He tapes all the shows so he won’t miss any. His birthday is Feb 20th and I would love to be able to give him a signed cookbook. He would just love it. Thanks so much for giving a cookbook away. Good Luck everyone.

289 Summer T January 20, 2011 at 11:00 am

I would love to have this cookbook! :D

290 Quinn January 20, 2011 at 11:00 am

The shrimp burgers look amazing! I’ve always loved ATK , and have slimmed down some of their recipes by using Earth Balance and lower fat/calorie ingredients whenever possible. It would be great to see what they dis/approve of and how they modified the chicken parm recipe that I make from the Best Recipes book.

291 Lynn January 20, 2011 at 11:00 am

A signed copy would be awesome!

292 Ang January 20, 2011 at 11:00 am

Would love this cookbook. My family and I have made a pledge to be healthy and this book would help us on our road to better health.

293 Danielle Myers January 20, 2011 at 11:00 am

I would LOVE to have this signed cookbook!!! LOVE the show and LOVE to cook so why wouldn’t I LOVE this?!!!

294 Ronald Souza January 20, 2011 at 11:01 am

I would love to win a copy, Americas Test Kitchen has been my “Bible” for many years.

295 Megan M January 20, 2011 at 11:01 am

I want the book

296 Melissa January 20, 2011 at 11:01 am

I NEED this cookbook! Pretty please? :)

297 Joy January 20, 2011 at 11:01 am

I have never made a recipe from ATK that I didn’t love. ATK is a standard and “go-to” series in my kitchen. Thank you for a fabulous review.

298 Sandy Seitz January 20, 2011 at 11:01 am

Oh how I want this book!!!

299 Liz January 20, 2011 at 11:02 am

LOVE LOVE LOVE ATK! This would be great for the healthy lunch club at work!

300 Kathy f January 20, 2011 at 11:02 am

I love to substitute applesauce for fat in recipes.

301 Ashley January 20, 2011 at 11:02 am

Even if I don’t win this I’m still going to check it out. Thanks for the info!

302 Scott January 20, 2011 at 11:02 am

305 Jessica H January 20, 2011 at 11:03 am

306 Tracy Madden January 20, 2011 at 11:03 am

I just started following America’s Test Kitchen on Twitter and now I’m so intrigued to check out their cookbook!

307 Betsy January 20, 2011 at 11:04 am

I would love to win this!

308 Kim January 20, 2011 at 11:05 am

I love America’s Test Kitchen!!! I watch it on PBS, but I have never seen their cookbooks….would love to try out the healthy recipes.

309 Megan January 20, 2011 at 11:05 am

Yep, I want one too! Love ATK so much.

310 Kristen January 20, 2011 at 11:05 am

I love ATK show…I just recently discovered it. I recently made ‘French chicken in a Pot” from the show. YUM. Would love the healthy version of there recipes too

311 Julie Fossum January 20, 2011 at 11:06 am

Please choose me to receive this ATK cookbook. I would love to have a truly healthy cookbook to create great meals for my family. I love my family and want to do what is best for them. Thank you -and again- I would put this cookbook to good use.

312 Sally L. January 20, 2011 at 11:06 am

I am new to your blog (actually new to any blog). I don’t know what took me so long, but I just love the whole concept and really enjoy your daily ideas. I love to cook, I love reading and collecting cookbooks, and I love to watch American’s Test Kitchen on PBS on Saturday mornings. This looks like a great cookbook. Please enter me! Thanks.

313 Heidi January 20, 2011 at 11:06 am

I adore Cook’s Illustrated! Besides family recipes, I really only make ATK’s stuff. Would love to add this cookbook to my collection =)

314 Dana Brown Ritter January 20, 2011 at 11:07 am

I would LOVE to win this cookbook too! We are big Cook’s fans and love watching Cooks Country on our PBS station. I have the America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook and it’s awesome, but who doesn’t want to be healthier, right? Bring it ON.

315 Michelle January 20, 2011 at 11:07 am

I am such a fangirl of ATK! I love, love, love their cookbooks. Looks like a good one — maybe Costco has a copy in if I don’t win it! :)

316 Sharon January 20, 2011 at 11:07 am

I want the book !!! :)

317 Inge January 20, 2011 at 11:07 am

Would love the book!

318 Connie Ackley January 20, 2011 at 11:08 am

Oh, it would be so nice to receive the cookbook. I have watched ATK for years and truly enjoy every episode! I have one of the worst kitchen set ups around but always like the tasty meals that are generated from my not so friendly kitchen. :) New recipes are a must to keep me motivated!!

319 Susan Waite January 20, 2011 at 11:08 am

What more could we dream for than an ATK cookbook, and free !!! Bring it on !

320 Meg Roke January 20, 2011 at 11:08 am

BIG fan of ATK and Cooks Illustrated! I am a faithful viewer every weekend of the show. Would love, love, love this book!

321 Meg January 20, 2011 at 11:08 am

I am OBSESSED with ATK! Best food ever. I would love this book so I can cook super tasty, healthier food for my family.

322 Julie January 20, 2011 at 11:08 am

I am a huge fan of America’s Test Kitchen … even got my husband on the bandwagon. He has even tried their recipes on his nights to cook! We would love to have this cookbook to help guide us to making our dinners ATK worthy AND healthy!

323 Page Murphy January 20, 2011 at 11:09 am

I would love to win this cookbook!

324 alison h January 20, 2011 at 11:09 am

326 Cristin January 20, 2011 at 11:09 am

I can’t wait to look through this one and get cooking. I would love to win a copy!

327 Melanie January 20, 2011 at 11:10 am

I love America’s Test Kitchen. Every recipe I try works the first time and everyone loves how they taste.

328 Sparki Hansen January 20, 2011 at 11:10 am

Thanks for this opportunity!

329 Beth Dorrell January 20, 2011 at 11:10 am

Pick me!!!

330 Nancy Nebeker January 20, 2011 at 11:11 am

I’m so excited about this book. I’m just starting a healthy eating adventure and desperately need the quality instruction Cooks Illustrated/ATK gives. I don’t want to waste my efforts on recipes we will hate only to get discouraged and give up on our new healthy pledge. I want it, I want it!!!

331 Monica January 20, 2011 at 11:11 am

I WANT this cookbook because I buy their magazines in every different format they put out and yes I do cook from them! Every recipe I’ve made from their magazine or website (yes I subscribe to that too) is fantastic and the method section gives me a true understanding of how the ingredients go together! So to wrap it up …. Pick me! Oooo Oooo Pick me!

332 Kristine Bizzelle January 20, 2011 at 11:12 am

OMG im so glad there are other people in the world as obsessed as me about ATK CI and CC!!!!! i dont think kimball is smug at all! i <3 him!

333 Cara January 20, 2011 at 11:12 am

What an awesome giveaway! I love to cook healthier foods and would love a chance to win the book and try out recipes from CI/ATK!

334 Anne Flynn January 20, 2011 at 11:13 am

Looks like a wonderful book. Love the layout and all the extra cooking info. Please pick meeee.

335 Barbara Youngren January 20, 2011 at 11:13 am

I would LOVE this book! Like you, I have no problems justifying the $35.00/year for their website, but I love to look through cookbooks to get inspiration. It’s a little harder to do online :-) I look forward to reading your blog. I am going to add it to my list of foodies!

336 Christy January 20, 2011 at 11:13 am

Sweet! Love their magazines! (Which I get from my mom who gets them from my grandmother!)

337 Dina January 20, 2011 at 11:14 am

I LOVE these cookbooks!

338 Koren Oldham January 20, 2011 at 11:14 am

As long as I know what the ingedients are…I’m cooking it! One dish meals are the easiest, but I’m adventurous.

339 jennifer m January 20, 2011 at 11:15 am

I have been a fan since ATK started, I would love this cookbook!!!! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

340 Michael Stanley January 20, 2011 at 11:15 am

Free ATK cookbook! Count me in!

341 Caroline Ferreri January 20, 2011 at 11:15 am

I love ATK. I took my daughter to see Jack Bishop when he was out our way and got her this cookbook. I guess one thing I do to try to cook healthier is sub no fat greek yogurt in some of my cooking for higher fat items and so far I have had great success.

342 Rita Hartman January 20, 2011 at 11:15 am

My son and daughter in law received a copy as a wedding gift and I was so amazed at what a great resource it is. I didn’t think I needed anymore cookbooks, but this one I would love to have!!

343 Hoang L. January 20, 2011 at 11:16 am

I’m more of a “follow the recipe” kind of guy instead of actually knowing how to cook. ATK has helped me greatly with my kitchen skills and just about everything I made has been a winner!!! Thank you ATK!!

344 Brenda Johns January 20, 2011 at 11:16 am

Sticking to fewer quality ingredients for our “one bowl” dinners usually works out to be a healthier option for us.
Strip steak, cilantro/lime rice, pico de gallo, cheese is one of our favorites.

345 Andrew in Fort Collins January 20, 2011 at 11:16 am

Cookbook me!!!!

346 Brigitte Clary January 20, 2011 at 11:17 am

I would love to win this for my fiance. He is obsessed with ATK and has me hooked now too!

347 Khristene January 20, 2011 at 11:17 am

Sounds like a great cookbook. I love to cook and am always looking for ways to make recipes more healthy.

348 Cindy January 20, 2011 at 11:18 am

Would love to try some new recipes and these sound great!

349 Monique Mitchell January 20, 2011 at 11:18 am

I LOVE ATK! I watch their show every day and I would love to win your giveaway cook book. I have 5 boys and they all love to eat so it would come in quite handy. =)

350 Linda Phillips January 20, 2011 at 11:18 am

I too love America’s Test Kitchen. One of the most frugal tips in baking I know I learned from them. There is NO diferance in the finished product if you bake with imitation vanilla or use the real thing. When I think of how much I’ve spent on vanilla over the years…my oh my.

351 Gina January 20, 2011 at 11:18 am

I love ATK! My husband just had to go on a strict low-fat diet. For a traditional southern cook, adjusting our diet hasn’t been easy. Having a cookbook with recipes that are healthy and actually have flavor would be wonderful! This cookbook sounds awesome and I’d love to have a copy.

352 Karen Morris January 20, 2011 at 11:18 am

This would make my doctor happy. Eating healthier and doing more exercise. This would make my day.

353 Amber January 20, 2011 at 11:19 am

I love ATK and Chris Kimabll. What a great giveaway. I want this book and having one Kimball signed would be awesome!

354 Sarah January 20, 2011 at 11:19 am

Christopher Kimball is my cooking guru! It would be equally exciting for me, to have the cookbook, and to have his autograph!

355 Susanne M. January 20, 2011 at 11:19 am

I would love this ATK cookbook. I know that I can use it to not only get my boyfriend to eat healthier but also to get his lazy self off the couch and cooking in the kitchen with me.

356 Amber January 20, 2011 at 11:19 am

I love America’s Test Kitchen!

357 Laura January 20, 2011 at 11:20 am

This cookbook looks great!

358 Keri Samples January 20, 2011 at 11:21 am

I love ATK/Cook’s Illustrated and I would love this book! :)

359 Dina Fanetti January 20, 2011 at 11:21 am

I adore Cook’s Illustrated and America’s Test Kitchen. I have a true respect for the ATK show and Cook’s Illustrated! Would love to have the cookbook on hand as well!

360 Becky January 20, 2011 at 11:21 am

I would love this cookbook so much!! I am relatively new to cooking..my husband used to do it all but now he works a crazy schedule so the responsibility is falling on me…so this would be huge help to get me started. Even if I don’t win it, I think I will probably buy it!

361 Emily January 20, 2011 at 11:22 am

To use more real ingredients, I made Wednesday Salad Night. Too often my kids skip the salad but I thought if that was the only choice they might cave. Last night was the first run through….. at least they ate the croutons!

Any good salad recipes in that cookbook? I could use them!

362 Veronica McMullen January 20, 2011 at 11:22 am

I am a huge fan of all things ATK, but I rarely worry if what I am cooking is healthy. You are inspiring me to care. Stop it! Now I want this book to add to my collection which is already too big for my bookshelf.

363 Marg January 20, 2011 at 11:22 am

I am a huge fan of Test Kitchen having learned so much from them. I would love a new cookbook, haven’t had one in ages.

364 Kristin Colligan January 20, 2011 at 11:22 am

I’ll go with. I just want one because I love to cook and my family loves to eat what I prepare

365 Sara January 20, 2011 at 11:23 am

I love America’s Test Kitchen, and I would love to have the book. The posted recipes sound wonderful!

366 Teann Flaharty January 20, 2011 at 11:23 am

My absolute favorite cookbook!! I seriously consider putting all the rest of my cookbook in my yard sale this spring. :)

367 Ada January 20, 2011 at 11:24 am

Bring back the bow tie.

368 Jenny Achuthan January 20, 2011 at 11:24 am

Need another cookbook like I need a whole in the head, but what I really need is a reliable healthy one!! Wondering how it is on vegetarian recipes…

369 Laurie January 20, 2011 at 11:25 am

This cookbook would be a welcome addition to my collection. I am a huge fan of ATK!

370 Serena January 20, 2011 at 11:26 am

Huge fan of Cook’s Illustrated! It’s one of 2 websites that I pay for as well. Would love the book!

371 Beth January 20, 2011 at 11:27 am

I love ATK – hope I win the book.

372 Jane January 20, 2011 at 11:28 am

I would really love a copy of this. I would love a new healthy cookbook. And I sure hope you get to publish the shrimp burger recipe soon, it looks so good.

373 Avidan January 20, 2011 at 11:28 am

Well, I obviously want the book. But I’ll also add that one of the things I love to do for healthier recipes is to replace oil with applesauce in desserts. I have learned that it doesn’t always work, but for most it works amazingly.

374 Jennifer Lissette January 20, 2011 at 11:29 am

I absolutely love cookbooks that come in three ring binder format. My favorite thing to do is sit down with one, match up recipes to sales flyers or farmers market finds and pull out a neat little stack of recipes for the week. I would love love love to add this cookbook to my home. Though ATK would probably prefer that I don’t win, because this looks good enough to go out and buy… with a coupon of course!

375 Jenny January 20, 2011 at 11:29 am

I love ATK and everything they put out! I am working on making my diet more healthy and this would be a huge help in that!

376 S Kelly January 20, 2011 at 11:29 am

LOVE LOVE LOVE all thing ATK/CI. and i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to add one of their cookbook to my lean pickings of cookbooks. My tip for trying to eat healthy ( er) is to use a spritzer with olive oil instead of pouring it from the bottle. Please let me win!

377 Maureen January 20, 2011 at 11:29 am

Boy a lot of people are trying to get their hands on this cookbook — me included! I just hope I win it cause I’d love more delicious and healthy recipes to try. Like you said, most are bland!

Thanks! You rock!

378 Lyndell January 20, 2011 at 11:30 am

I love cooking and trying out new recipes! This would be awesome!!

379 Claudia January 20, 2011 at 11:31 am

I’d love to get this book. The best cookbooks I’ve found are from ATK. Love the reviews of products too…very helpful information!

I Love ATK, My DVR is set to weekly, So I never miss a show. The recipes you posted sound wonderful. I learn so much from Christopher Kimball, not only cooking, but product testing info too. Always learning about new gadgets to buy for my Kitchen.

381 Shannon Price January 20, 2011 at 11:31 am

Yes, I would like to have it!!! I am jumping up and down in case you can not see me!!!

382 Winnie January 20, 2011 at 11:31 am

I LOVE ATK! I like how the recipes are tried and true. Do they have a “healthy” version of their perfectly chocolate chip cookie? I make that religiously. Can’t go wrong with 14 TBSP. of butter :) .

383 Helen January 20, 2011 at 11:32 am

Food is one of my five focus factors for 2011. I am always looking for ways to keep it fun (another focus factor) for my family (another focus factor) while helping me to get more fit (another focus factor) with minimal impact on my finances (the last factor). ATK and Cook’s Illustrated already are helping. What pleasure they provide! This cookbook would add to those helpers, and to my growing cookbook collection that includes selections from the early 1900s.

384 Rebeca January 20, 2011 at 11:33 am

I would LOVE this. That’s my absolute favorite site and cooking show. Thanks for hosting this!

385 Marcia January 20, 2011 at 11:33 am

I just love ATK and Cook’s country. I have committed to a meatless Monday and a fishy Friday every week, so I think this cookbook will help with that pledge!

386 Donna January 20, 2011 at 11:34 am

I would love to win this cookbook! I love watching Americas Test Kitchen on the Create channel there recipes are wonderful. I receive ATK newletters which are always filled with great tip and recipes and really enjoy Christopher Kimballs newsletter from Vermont.

387 Janice January 20, 2011 at 11:34 am

I already own ATK Family Cookbook and also gave it to my son and daughter-in-law as a gift. I would love to have this book for myself but am instead requesting it as an item for a gift basket to be auctioned off in a Tricky Tray event to benefit our local animal shelter.

My healthy cooking tip would be to cook a pound of dried beans a week. Refrigerate and then use throughout week in side dishes, salads or soups. Chickpeas, red beans, black beans, cannelini beans – every week a different type – different recipe possibilities.

388 C. Tate January 20, 2011 at 11:34 am

I love finding healthy recipes that also taste good. It shouldn’t be so hard :) Thanks!

389 Jenny Mertes January 20, 2011 at 11:34 am

I wondered when ATK would get around to sharing healthier recipes with its fans. Wow, I’d love to have your cookbook! Maybe I can finally get my husband to eat some veggies.

390 Kira January 20, 2011 at 11:35 am

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful giveaway that I would love to win. Just looking at that shrimp sandwich is making me drool. Yum, yum, yum is all I can say!!!!!!!!!

391 Pam Davis January 20, 2011 at 11:35 am

ATK and Cook’s Country are the only cooking shows my family watches. We try to scribble out the recipes while watching the show : ) . We’d love to win this cookbook! Thanks!

392 Stephanie Baker January 20, 2011 at 11:35 am

I would absolutely LOVE to win this! I love to watch America’s Test Kitchen & have made several recipes from the show.

393 Catherine January 20, 2011 at 11:36 am

autographed by Christopher Kimball ….. I’d love that, please send it my way please :) it will be put to good use here.

Thanks for the giveaway, good luck everyone :)

394 Tammy bicklane January 20, 2011 at 11:36 am

I never win anything so i thought i would see if i could and enter! Maybe change my luck around!

395 Steph/seenonflickr January 20, 2011 at 11:36 am

I just started reading Cook’s Illustrated, and am hooked! I would love to win this cookbook!

396 Jens January 20, 2011 at 11:37 am

I love Cook’s Illustrated! I’d love to win!!!

397 Casey Johnson January 20, 2011 at 11:39 am

I just started weightwatchers and would love to have this cookbook!

398 Holly Horton January 20, 2011 at 11:40 am

I can cook healthy by cooking from scratch. When I do I can sneak veggies in and my picky kiddos get their veggies :) . Oh, of course I want the cook book!

399 Estee Wilson January 20, 2011 at 11:40 am

I love the fact that ATK uses real food ingredients like nuts, avocadoes, and butter! Healthy fats are important for our diets too! :)

400 Kelly January 20, 2011 at 11:41 am

I want that book!

I hope I’ll win it…but I was already planning on buying it : )

I’m trying to generally tone up/slim down, and this time I’m trying the eat healthy and work out approach. What a novel idea, huh? I’m still tracking what I eat, but I’m not going crazy – I’m just more concerned with eating whole foods and keeping the treats in check. I’m trying to build good habits now, before I have kids. So I think this book would help jumpstart my new eating goals (and add some new meals to the FG inspired meal plan!)

Thanks for the giveaway, ATK and FG!

401 Raven January 20, 2011 at 11:41 am

Wow- I love watching the product reviews on ATK and the recipe trials. I bet the cookbook is spectacular.

402 Amy January 20, 2011 at 11:41 am

yummy!!! my creative cook juices could use a recharge…

403 Tammie H. January 20, 2011 at 11:42 am

What a great giveaway! I love them as well!

404 Sara January 20, 2011 at 11:42 am

Wow! I LOVE ATK and would love to have this cookbook… or any cookbook really. I could spend days looking through cookbooks and flagging items to try.

405 Nancy Baldwin January 20, 2011 at 11:42 am

My favorite way to cook healthy is to not buy any boxed or prepackaged food. I buy in bulk and fresh as much as possible. This cuts down the preservatives/sodium and I have way less packaging to recycle. Plus its way cheaper!
America’s Test Kitchen if my favorite show on tv and I would love this book!

406 Elizabeth L. January 20, 2011 at 11:43 am

SO EXCITED!! I love love love Cook’s Illustrated!

My best advice for cooking healthy is eating in moderation. Watching your caloric intake, not eating too many white sugars/white breads, and focusing on lean proteins is all fine and good, but really everyone craves sweets and unhealthy foods every now and then and to deprive yourself is just cruel (not to mention terribly un-fun). I always feel much better when I apply proper portion control no matter what I’m eating (healthy or not so much).

407 Stephanie January 20, 2011 at 11:44 am

Oh, I want this! Need the inspiration!

408 Dora January 20, 2011 at 11:44 am

I collect cook books and always in need of recipes for garden products from the Farmers Market. I would love the cookbook and would enjoy the results.

409 Mikki January 20, 2011 at 11:44 am

I Love America’s Test Kitchen.. online and TV. I love how they demonstrate recipes and the best way to cook them.

I LOVE to cook in the kitchen and try out new recipes. We have a few food intolerances in my family that have just came up over the last year or two (gluten and dairy), so I am always looking for new recipes to try :-)

Thanks so much!

410 Linda S January 20, 2011 at 11:44 am

Bought this cookbook as a Christmas present for ME, and love it. Great recipes….love the details. So I would love to get another one to give to my college-age daughter.

411 Lisa January 20, 2011 at 11:45 am

I’m a crazy, squeeing fangirl of ATK and CI too! My husband tapes the show to enjoy over and over and I love the scientific process used to generate the recipes and determine WHY the recipe works. Would I love that cookbook? WOULD I?!?!

412 Katy Riker January 20, 2011 at 11:45 am

I love love love Cooks Illustrated and would love to give this cookbook to my daughter (after first mining it for recipes) who is in her first years of running a household. Thanks!

413 Carolyn C. January 20, 2011 at 11:46 am

I loooove ATK! We have a couple of their cookbooks that have some healthy recipes in them, but I love classic recipes made a bit healthier! Thanks for the giveaway!

414 Susan January 20, 2011 at 11:46 am

WOW! A healthy cookbook with real recipes. Would love to add it to my collection.

415 Adrion S January 20, 2011 at 11:46 am

I really love America’s Test Kitchen and Cooks County. I have one their cookbooks and hope I get to add another.

416 Suzanne Rich January 20, 2011 at 11:46 am

Good Morning! I would love to have a copy of the cookbook. I am in my late twenties and I am now realizing the importance of cooking. However, I need some guidance. I find it very difficult to find good recipes. I need your help!!!!

Suzanne

417 Kristina N. January 20, 2011 at 11:47 am

Oh WOW! What a fabulous giveaway! I would love love love to have this book in my kitchen! I have been trying to eat healthier, but sometimes I forget that just because something is low in calories and fat, does not make it good for you! I used to always eat low-fat canned soup until I realized that I still didn’t know what half the ingredients were. Now, I make a giant thing of soup on Sundays to take to work and I feel good knowing exactly what I’m eating!

418 Erica Green January 20, 2011 at 11:48 am

Ooooh wow! What an amazing cookbook! The hubby always wants healthy food but it’s SO hard to get it to taste good! This would probably inspire me to try harder. :)

419 Chris H January 20, 2011 at 11:48 am

I would so rub my autographed copy in the face of my brother in law..

420 Susan@Emperorp January 20, 2011 at 11:49 am

Kristen, I’d love to win this :)

421 Helen January 20, 2011 at 11:49 am

422 abby grasso January 20, 2011 at 11:49 am

I would love to give this to my mom

423 Erin January 20, 2011 at 11:49 am

Wow! This is awesome. I love ATK. I use their family cookbook all time time…although, it’s not really mine! My Grandma has a big cookbook collection and I have “borrowed” it for several months. I need to just get my own because (especially being a newlywed) it is so helpful with instructions and the recipes taste great!

424 EBEE January 20, 2011 at 11:50 am

Those pictures you posted are making me hungry!
Would love to have a new cookbook…

E

425 Chris January 20, 2011 at 11:50 am

Awesome! Hope I win.

426 Krystal January 20, 2011 at 11:50 am

I would love to have this cookbook. I really enjoy reading your blog and trying to recreate your recipes!

427 Paul Cotter January 20, 2011 at 11:51 am

I. Need. this. book!!! Thanks for listening.

428 Tanya January 20, 2011 at 11:51 am

I want to win this book! I love watching ATK.

429 JoeAnn Nguyen January 20, 2011 at 11:51 am

Still learning to cook healthy so this would be awesome!

430 Irene January 20, 2011 at 11:52 am

Is it possible to have too many ATK cookbooks? i think not… : ) Thank you!

431 Sherri January 20, 2011 at 11:53 am

Would love this for my son and DIL who are overweight and unhealthy (and have no clue about healthy eating) but are trying to figure it all out and have been starting to lose weight. This would be an awesome teaching tool for them.

432 Clio January 20, 2011 at 11:55 am

I do love ATK. We use The Best Recipe and several other of their cookbooks all the time. We cancelled most of our cooking magazines, but still get Cook’s Illustrated, and my new favorite, Cook’s Country. The recipes are always well written, easy to follow and taste good. I’ve made a few I didn’t think were worth the hassle, but never a dud. I recently made the Morning Buns from a recent Cook’s Country. They don’t qualify as “healthy” but they sure taste good :)

433 Lisa D. January 20, 2011 at 11:55 am

Looks like a great cookbook! I would love to win it.

434 Jenny January 20, 2011 at 11:56 am

My kids so truly enjoy watch ATK and getting this cookbook will be the icing on the cake for our family! Thanks for giving.

435 carmen January 20, 2011 at 11:56 am

I’d love to win this!

436 Trish January 20, 2011 at 11:57 am

I record ATK so I can watch it at my leisure….I have learned so much from them, and I have been cooking for 30+ years. Just shows, you can teach an old dog some new tricks! ;0)

437 Trish January 20, 2011 at 11:57 am

I record ATK so I can watch it at my leisure….I have learned so much from them, and I have been cooking for 30+ years. Just shows, you can teach an old dog some new tricks! ;0)

438 Leanne January 20, 2011 at 11:57 am

Please pick me! I don’t have a lot of cookbooks because, like you, I think they’re filled with a lot of fluff. This one looks fantastic!

439 Trish January 20, 2011 at 11:57 am

I record ATK so I can watch it at my leisure….I have learned so much from them, and I have been cooking for 30+ years. Just shows, you can teach an old dog some new tricks! ;0)

440 jamie January 20, 2011 at 11:58 am

wow, i didn’t know this book existed 5 minutes ago and now i want it! nice marketing, ATK. anyway, here’s my approach to healthier eating: bake less treats. i do, however, slack off due to my lack of interesting and healthful recipes. so here’s to me winning!!! or at least hoping my library carries this. :)

441 D. Larsen January 20, 2011 at 11:58 am

I have followed Cook’s Illustrated for YEARS! I’ve tried to collect their cookbooks when possible. I would LOVE a healthy cookbook that is autographed by Chris.

442 Kristin January 20, 2011 at 11:59 am

Oh I want it, I want it. Please random number picker, pick me:) Thanks for the great giveaway!

443 Patricia January 20, 2011 at 11:59 am

I record ATK so I can watch and learn at my leisure; I have learned so much from this show and have been cooking for 35+ years…just goes to show you CAN teach an old dog some new tricks! ;0)

444 Jennifer January 20, 2011 at 12:01 pm

I LOVE ATK cookbooks! I have the red binder one (I think it’s their original recipe book) and it it FABULOUS! If I could only ever have 1 cookbook- that would be it. I even routinely give it as housewarming gifts. I use it ALL the time- and that’s the only recipe book I can say that about! The book is much more about learning the fundamental concepts than a particular recipe, which I LOVE! In fact, I love ATK so much, I bought this green one just this past weekend! Still, I’d love to have a second copy. I know soooo many people who I could gift my “old” one to!

445 Pamela January 20, 2011 at 12:01 pm

What a great give away!! I love ATK and CI also. My favorite magazine is Cook’s Country which is put out by CI. I don’t know if someone posted this or not because I haven’t read them all but they have a new radio show as well. It’s on Sat. at 2:00 in the Boston area on 89.7.

446 Renee January 20, 2011 at 12:01 pm

Haven’t gotten through the last ATK cookbook, but would love another to put in the queue.

447 Hanaa January 20, 2011 at 12:02 pm

I love ATK too. My fav way to cook healthy lately has been to sub whole grains (barley or brown rice instead of white rice, whole grain pasta instead of regular pasta). As well as eating more fish!

448 Elisabeth January 20, 2011 at 12:02 pm

ATK/Cook’s Illustrated/Cook’s Country… all favorites in our house! I have one of their cookbooks so far and would love to add another to my collection. Thanks for the offer!

449 Ashley January 20, 2011 at 12:03 pm

This looks like a great book to try. My husband and I have been trying to eat healthier while sticking to “real” food. Thanks for the great giveaway!

450 dogear6 January 20, 2011 at 12:03 pm

I love their magazine! Great integrity to what they do.

451 Ellen Cook January 20, 2011 at 12:06 pm

I’ve always wanted to include this book in my collection. Thanks for offering the giveaway! ~ Ellen

452 Benedicte January 20, 2011 at 12:07 pm

I would LOVE to win this cookbook!

453 Julie January 20, 2011 at 12:07 pm

I watch America’s Test Kitchen with my Nana, and would love to cook her some recipes from this cookbook!

454 Beth January 20, 2011 at 12:07 pm

Pick me please!

455 Mindy Darnell January 20, 2011 at 12:08 pm

I adore ATK/Cook’s Illustrated. I have at least 6 years worth of magazines and learn so much from them. Having a signed cookbook would be icing on the cake! Pick me, please.

456 Laura E. January 20, 2011 at 12:09 pm

I like it on ATK when they do the blind taste tests, there are always some surpirses there. Would like to try this book.

457 Michelle January 20, 2011 at 12:09 pm

I have no idea how to cook healthy! Other than staying away from processed foods. Which means, I eat what I can grab. My husband would love it if I had a “healthy” cookbook rather than tossing him some salad ingredients and say “fend for yourself”

458 Nichole January 20, 2011 at 12:09 pm

I love the ATK show and would love this cookbook to help me feed my family more healthy homemade food!

459 Melissa January 20, 2011 at 12:10 pm

Thanks to ATK, I have mastered the Pineapple Upside Down cake. And guess what, it’s not that hard!

460 lori faust January 20, 2011 at 12:10 pm

I LOVE Cook’s Country….my cooking bible! I would be so elated to win this cookbook! Crossing my fingers…

461 LeeAndra Knuth January 20, 2011 at 12:12 pm

I love ATK! Got my 1st atk cook book for Christmas I love it.

462 Jessica January 20, 2011 at 12:12 pm

I love cookbooks! And I appreciate that they don’t include, how did you say it, “questionable” ingredients! I am always on the lookout for new healthy recipes.

463 Jan January 20, 2011 at 12:13 pm

We always enjoy watching ATK and I just looked at this book at B&N this week. It looks great!

464 Julie January 20, 2011 at 12:13 pm

ATK is the best- especially love their Best New Recipe and Family Baking Book cookbooks. This one would be a great addition to our collection. We are eating healthier by eating mostly vegetarian and substituting whole grain flours for all purpose flour in many of our favorite baked goods. Whole wheat pastry flour is a great substitute for all purpose flour.

465 amy January 20, 2011 at 12:13 pm

Wow! What a great opportunity and a wonderful prize! I would love a cookbook:)

466 Maggie January 20, 2011 at 12:13 pm

I love that show but have often felt that it would be good if they did healthy recipes. Glad they finally did!

467 Michelle January 20, 2011 at 12:14 pm

I love cookbooks! Please enter me in the giveaway!

468 Care January 20, 2011 at 12:15 pm

I’ve heard about this cookbook recently from friends who are fans of ATK. I’d love to get my hands on a copy!

469 Jenny January 20, 2011 at 12:16 pm

Would love to win! I am dipping into Christopher Kimball’s book about recreating a victorian feast right now.

470 Donna G. Lord January 20, 2011 at 12:17 pm

Hi,
I love watching America’s Test Kitchen and I want to eat healthy. It is so much better if one can eat good food, healthy and with low cost (frugal). I am going to cut to the chase as you said.
I want a free cookbook. I want a America’s Test Kitchen Healthy Family cookbook, FREE . I want to be added to the drawing and would LOVE a FREE Cookbook. I would add it to my collection. But I would use this cookbook too.
Thank You,
Donna G. Lord

471 Dawn Rasor January 20, 2011 at 12:18 pm

I am ATK’s biggest fan!!! I always look forward to the weekends so I can catch them on Create! Absolutely love them. Love their equip tests & taste tests too and often I buy things based on their results! Never been disapointed either.
Please pick me to win!!! I am a recipe addict!

472 Etmny January 20, 2011 at 12:18 pm

Awesome! Thanks Kristen.

473 Anne January 20, 2011 at 12:18 pm

Love, love, LOVE Cook’s Illustrated/America’s Test Kitchen. Bless them for all the hard work they do so we don’t have to! Healthy cooking is my favorite – I love putting a healthy spin on dishes. Also, we don’t eat dessert/treats during the week but on the weekend, I make an indulgent dessert so we definitely don’t deprive ourselves, either!

474 Kim Robinson January 20, 2011 at 12:20 pm

Thank you for the chance.
Kim

475 Melody January 20, 2011 at 12:21 pm

Love Christopher Kimball !! I would love to have this cookbook :)

476 Debbie January 20, 2011 at 12:21 pm

I would love to have this cookbook….I NEED this cookbook. Thanks for giving us a chance at it.

477 Jane Seaman January 20, 2011 at 12:21 pm

We would LOVE the book. My husband and I meet at 5:30 on Sat evenings with a glass of wine and watch the show every week. It’s the best way to start off our Sat night ‘date night’. We make note of yummy recipes and prepare them the following Sat night. Always something to look forward to!

478 Michelle January 20, 2011 at 12:24 pm

I adore cookbooks! I have quite a collection. This cookbook sounds wonderful…would love to win it!

479 Renee@ Feedingourlives.com January 20, 2011 at 12:24 pm

I have the original ATK Family cookbook and ADORE it! It’s my go-to place for all recipes. I can’t say enough good things about the cookbook. I’d love to have the new version with the healthier options!

480 Heather January 20, 2011 at 12:26 pm

I would love to win the cookbook! I love new things to try.

481 Melissa Marzolf January 20, 2011 at 12:27 pm

Hi! Huge fan of America’s Test Kitchen here. And would love if you picked me to recieve one of your wonderful cookbooks! And autograpghed copy by Christopher Kimball would make it an absolute treasure to us. I’m planning to make a batch of your “chocolate cream cupcakes” today acctually for my mom’s birthday. Yum! :)

482 Kate Acosta January 20, 2011 at 12:28 pm

I want to win the cookbook! lol Love ATK but don’t own this one.

483 Vickie January 20, 2011 at 12:29 pm

I have subscribed to America’s Test Kitchen since the beginning, and love it.
I have the Blue Baking Book, and would love to have this new cookbook!! It
sounds great!!

484 Carmen Y January 20, 2011 at 12:30 pm

Love ATK! Just watched CK on Today Show this morning. Can’t wait to see ATK’s newest edition to. Grilling is my favorite way to prepare fresh veggies – a little EVOO, S&P, few minutes on med-hi and you’re done!

485 Sara W January 20, 2011 at 12:32 pm

yum, always love new healthy recipes

486 Jamie January 20, 2011 at 12:32 pm

Wow! This looks like a dream come true cookbook. I’ve already added it to my Amazon.com wishlist!

487 Ginny January 20, 2011 at 12:32 pm

Wow!! I am such a big fan of ATK, I do watch the shows on our PBS channel, I just love them and I also get the letters from Chritopher Kinball, I think he is fun to watch and so down to earth!! What a treat it would be to have a cookbook signed by him!!!!! I only have two cookbooks by them , but I had my eye on the healthy cookbook, but never had the extra bucks to order it. What a thrill it would be to own it myself. I sure hope that I am the winner! thanks Kristen for the chance to win such a great gift!! ~Ginny~

488 Candace January 20, 2011 at 12:33 pm

That cookbook looks amazing! I would love it have it.

489 Erica January 20, 2011 at 12:33 pm

Holy cow! You’re HUGE! It took me FOREVER to scroll down the comments! :) Anyway, I want the book!

490 Betsy January 20, 2011 at 12:33 pm

We too are big fans of ATK and Cook’s Illustrated, they have really improved our cooking. Here’s a couple of my scores thrifting….Two years of library bound Cook’s Illustrated magazines on clearance for $1 each and the Best Recipe cookbook for $4!
My husband requested the cookbook you’re giving away for Christmas this year and I did not follow through! Yikes. His birthday is coming up in March…can you help me out!!!
Love your blog! Betsy

491 Lisa January 20, 2011 at 12:34 pm

This is a good excuse to come out of lurking… :) I found your website early this month in some kind of New Year’s Resolution frenzy to be more frugal and I find it so inspiring! So much good and useful information. I’ve been baking bread for years with hit or miss success and find your recipes turn out beautifully every time. (Never did the 3 minute mix before adding all the flour before – great secret!) I’m learning a lot and especially enjoy the cheerful tone. So far we’ve enjoyed: sandwich bread, whole wheat bread, cheese twists, french bread, aussie chicken, banana muffins and homemade yogurt! Thanks!

492 Jennifer January 20, 2011 at 12:34 pm

Ohh I love cooking, baking and adore new cookbooks! Thanks for the great giveaway, and daily dose of inspiration!

493 Wendy Eder January 20, 2011 at 12:34 pm

Cookbooks are my guily pleasure!!

494 Susan McC January 20, 2011 at 12:35 pm

I would love to win this cookbook – thanks for the giveaway!!!

495 Deb January 20, 2011 at 12:35 pm

Like may of the other people I love ATK and Cooks Illustrated. Their recipes always turn out great. I also like their product recommendations, they have saved me much money over the years. I would love their newest cookbook.

496 Maggie January 20, 2011 at 12:35 pm

A great giveaway! I would love to win it!

497 laura January 20, 2011 at 12:36 pm

My first time commenting on your blog after being a follower for almost a year…. I would love a new cookbook that can help me cook healthy for me and my family!

498 Chelle W. January 20, 2011 at 12:38 pm

I big puffy heart cookbooks !!! This would make a nice addition to my collection, as I am always looking for healthy recipes to include into our family’s meal plan.

499 Jenny C January 20, 2011 at 12:39 pm

I love trying and looking at different recipes. This one looks a little different from what I have.

500 Roberta Graver January 20, 2011 at 12:41 pm

Ok, I want the book too! I’m probably among the top 10 of the ATK Biggest Fans. Love Love Love the cookbooks and shows!! Thanks for reviewing it and offering the giveaway!!

501 Kathy January 20, 2011 at 12:41 pm

We love ATK and the magazine is our favorite

502 Coreen S January 20, 2011 at 12:42 pm

Avoiding fats, while maintaining good flavor. I am striving to find ways to fullfill my love of baking, yet cutting the calories. AMTK is my favorite. This cookbook would be a great addition to my other books.

503 James M. January 20, 2011 at 12:42 pm

Since I am getting married in March, I have been TRYING to find healthier ways to eat. I love ATK and Cook’s Country and think that this might just do the trick!

504 Jennifer January 20, 2011 at 12:42 pm

I love American Test Kitchen!!! I would absolutely love this cookbook. What a perfect book.

505 CM January 20, 2011 at 12:43 pm

The green goddess dip was so delicious!

506 Karen Blue January 20, 2011 at 12:43 pm

This is awesome!! I’m also a HUGE fan of everything ATK!! This cookbook sounds awesome!!

507 Lisa McNamara January 20, 2011 at 12:45 pm

I would LOVE to win this cookbook!! I have a huge family and trying to find new healthy recipes the whole crew would love. Thanks!!

508 kolfnnas korner January 20, 2011 at 12:45 pm

I love cookbooks! I’m trying to cook more from scratch and new ideas for family tested and approved recipes are always welcome! I’d love to be entered in the give away!

509 Carol January 20, 2011 at 12:46 pm

I would love to win this!!! My son and his fiance could use this as a great starter cookbook for their married life!

510 Aubrey Ives January 20, 2011 at 12:46 pm

Wow! I love Cook’s Illustrated! This would be great. Thanks!

511 Toni C January 20, 2011 at 12:47 pm

I love America’s Test Kitchen. I was at the doctors yesterday and they told me what I already knew, I need to lose weight. Eating healthy and being satisfied is a challenge and having this cookbook looks like a way to meet that challenge.

512 Jen January 20, 2011 at 12:48 pm

I grew up with a mom who didn’t cook and didn’t feed me healthy foods. The first few years of my marriage, I really struggled in the kitchen. Then I found ATK! Now I love cooking, and my husband, my children, my friends, my church… everyone thinks I am absolutely THE BOMB. I can’t wait to get ahold of this new cookbook.

513 Paul January 20, 2011 at 12:48 pm

Cooking Light magazine is where I get all my recipes for the family, but not all of them are family-friendly (i.e. kid-friendly) recipes. I’d love to expand my collection with this cookbook from CI.

And I agree with you…the money spent on a cooksillustrated.com subscription is well spent…I’ve had one for years!

514 Janice January 20, 2011 at 12:48 pm

I would love this cookbook!!!

515 Chelsea January 20, 2011 at 12:49 pm

Wow. I love ATK! I’m always healthifying recipes anyway, so I’m probably their intended audience.

516 Jen P January 20, 2011 at 12:49 pm

Wow, I’ve never heard of ATK before. I’ve been trying very hard to learn how to eat and cook healthy, and this sounds like a fabulous resource. Even if I don’t win, and least I’ll have an idea where to start looking. Thanks!

517 Chelsey January 20, 2011 at 12:49 pm

My husband would love this cook book (and I would love to eat the food!). Thanks for the giveaway.

518 deborah fitch January 20, 2011 at 12:49 pm

Sounds good, I love reading cookbooks.

519 Karen S. January 20, 2011 at 12:51 pm

Yum! I try to use whole wheat flour instead of white when I can — also when baking I try to sub out eggs for milled flax seed + water.

520 Trudy E January 20, 2011 at 12:52 pm

I would love to give this cookbook to my newlywed daughter

521 Jennifer Z. January 20, 2011 at 12:52 pm

I would love to have this cookbook… so glad ATK put it out! I have made a promise to myself to get my family eating healthy this year, but am not sure where to start. This book could be just the ticket!

522 katinfoco January 20, 2011 at 12:52 pm

no more “Food Network” for us, too many untested recipes…..America’s Test Kitchen is the best for recipes, equipment reviews, cooking tips.

Julia and Bridgett are wonderful; I love their humor and their cooking expertise. I would love this book.

523 Rita January 20, 2011 at 12:52 pm

I actually got introduced to ATK in December 2009 when my attorney gave me the “red” cookbook as a gift. She mentioned that they had a cooking show and had the best recipes. I tried some of their recipes and have NOT been dissapointed at all. Sadly, the cookbook got ruined during the summer of 2010. We were remodeling our kitchen, so I put everything from the kitchen I was saving in boxes (including cookbooks) and stored them in the basement floor. Our basement has never flooded before, and I wouldn’t call what happened a flood, but one horrible morning, Chicago had a bad storm, our basement got an inch of nasty sewer water. So my book got wet. The pages were stuck and some pages had black stains from the water. I was sad but I had to throw it out as I didn’t feel save keeping the book like that. I did manage to save some of my favorite recipes, but I was sad I didn’t have a chance to try the many more delicous recipes in the book. Sorry for my long story, but if I would win this cookbook, I will be one happy cook! It would be a great addition to my new kitchen. Greetings!

524 Amanda N January 20, 2011 at 12:52 pm

I love ATK. They do all the legwork so I don’t have to. Thanks for the giveaway.

525 Laura F January 20, 2011 at 12:54 pm

I love ATK and Cook’s Illustrated! I’ve never been disappointed with any of their recipes that I’ve tried….

526 Sara January 20, 2011 at 12:56 pm

Keeping my fingers crossed that I win this cookbook!!!

527 Beki Nobles January 20, 2011 at 12:57 pm

I’ve never seen an ATK cookbook. It looks awesome. When I plan meals for our large family, I like to use whole foods that are grown close to our home. Having four sons and my husband at the table eagerly awaiting the evening’s blessing, proves the way to these men’s hearts is definitely through their stomach. Thanks for everything you’re doing with your blog.
PS – PICK ME!!!

528 Jo Lynn January 20, 2011 at 12:58 pm

It sounds like the type of healthy cookbook that I would be interested in!!!!

529 Cindy January 20, 2011 at 12:59 pm

I LOVE ATK and their cookbooks!

530 Andrea Watts January 20, 2011 at 12:59 pm

I so need this cookbook right now. I need to lose weight! Thanks!

531 Elissa January 20, 2011 at 1:00 pm

Sounds awesomely good!

532 Vickei Tripp January 20, 2011 at 1:00 pm

I have promised myself to lose weight this year and eat and cook healthier – this cookbook sounds like it would be perfect for me! Your information is the best and I appreciate all that you share Kristin!!!

533 Heather Leuci January 20, 2011 at 1:01 pm

I would love a new cookbook. I’m always looking for good healthy recipes for my family :)

534 Erica January 20, 2011 at 1:03 pm

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ATK. My staple.

535 Jill January 20, 2011 at 1:04 pm

Pick me! Looks like a great book to add to my collection!

536 Mandee January 20, 2011 at 1:04 pm

I love cook books just checked one out today ~sneaky chef :)

537 Amy January 20, 2011 at 1:04 pm

I’m with you, Cooks Illustrated is the only website I pay for, and I trust these guys! Would just love, love, love a copy of this book, and autographed, too! Sounds like a winner, as my way to cook healthy is to use real food (also love that Michael Pollan quote!). Thanks for sharing!

538 Kristi Gonzales January 20, 2011 at 1:06 pm

I love your blog and read it daily!! My family has begun eating healthy this year and in the 2 (almost 3) weeks that have past, my husband and I have lost 30 lbs combined. I would love this cookbook to give me more options for my 4 children and husband.

539 Jessica Roberts January 20, 2011 at 1:07 pm

My healthy tip is … get ready for a revelation … TONS of veggies! We subscribe to a CSA farm share and that pretty much keeps me honest. No matter how I prepare dinner, whether with butter or cheese or meat, it’s going to be pretty healthy if the majority is freshly-picked veggies. Yum!

540 Sondra January 20, 2011 at 1:07 pm

I would love to have this cookbook. My boyfriend and I love watching ATK. We enjoy the equipment corner segment.

541 Edith January 20, 2011 at 1:09 pm

I love ATK and would love this book. Trying to lose weight, sigh.

542 Jennifer January 20, 2011 at 1:09 pm

We cook “healthy” by following the principles outlined in Sally Fallon’s “Nourishing Traditions.” We definitely eat food… mostly grass fed meat and pastured eggs… and THEN plants… and not too much!

543 Sara Miller January 20, 2011 at 1:09 pm

Ooh ooh…..love Cooks Illustrated, America’s Test Kitchen and your blogs!!!

544 Linda S. January 20, 2011 at 1:14 pm

Love ATK’s cookbooks. I have two older ones, but think I need to add to my collection, to get recipes for healthier eating for pre-diabetes. Thanks for the review and doing the give-away.

545 Lorie January 20, 2011 at 1:14 pm

Wow! Amazing sounding recipes. Would love to win so I can try them out!

546 Bethany January 20, 2011 at 1:14 pm

I WANT THE BOOK! lol No seriously though, this is a fantastic giveaway!

551 Heather Riggins January 20, 2011 at 1:17 pm

Wow! It would be great to win this cookbook. I have the red one and I brought it to an event recently to see and meet Christopher Kimball and have him sign it. It would be pretty cool to have 2 cookbooks signed by him. I am a big fan and turn to ATK advise and recipes first. I don’t buy a new pc of kitchen equipment or a new gadget without looking to see what they recommend. My husband is even hooked on them!!! Thankyou for hosting this giveaway!

552 Meredith January 20, 2011 at 1:19 pm

I want one! I love your blog! Thanks for a great giveaway!

553 jodie January 20, 2011 at 1:19 pm

Would love to win this cookbook, to start cooking healthier in 2011!!

556 Anabel January 20, 2011 at 1:20 pm

I don’t really use cookbooks that often. I think most of my recipes I’ve done as a child so I tend to stick with what I know. One of these days I hope to actually buy one. ^_-

557 Sarahg January 20, 2011 at 1:21 pm

Oh my! Looks like a fun one! :) I’ve made a new years goal to plan menus and save money in groceries! This would help me when I’m drawing a blank on menu ideas! :)

559 A. Hughes January 20, 2011 at 1:25 pm

I can’t wait for the shrimp burger recipe. My family will love these!

560 shannonc January 20, 2011 at 1:25 pm

I love Americas test kitchen. I got the videos and cookbook from 2009. I love the fact that they have tested them all and have great ideas on making the best food. Tomorrow I am going to make a birthday cake from the cookbook. Last year I made it everyone oohed and aahhd over it. It was worth the time and effort, and fun too. Shan

561 Rebecca January 20, 2011 at 1:27 pm

My 4 year old and I love to watch ATK together… and she loves to cook. This would be an awesome addition to our collection!

562 Erika January 20, 2011 at 1:29 pm

I would love this cookbook! I’m trying to expand my recipe collection and this would be a great addition!

563 Dana January 20, 2011 at 1:30 pm

While I usually avoid most “healthy” cookbooks (the recipes never seem to be satisfying or particularly tasty), I would completely trust America’s Test Kitchen/Cook’s Illustrated to have delicious healthy recipes! I’d love to try this cookbook. I see a run to the library in my future, if I’m not lucky enough to win this one! :) Thanks so much for this opportunity!

564 Michelle Tichenor January 20, 2011 at 1:32 pm

I love cookbooks!! This one looks wonderful!

575 Kelly January 20, 2011 at 1:44 pm

I love the Cooks Illustrated cookbooks. This year I am cooking more from scratch.

So yes please enter me in the drawing for your cookbook giveaway. Thank you!

576 jessica January 20, 2011 at 1:45 pm

Love to have this ATK cookbook – watch all the time….

580 Sheila Payne January 20, 2011 at 1:47 pm

I am so into healthy cooking but in my case, that generally means my food is not that tasty. I could use lots of help. My youngest son is a type 1 diabetic and it important to me for him if no one else. It is hard to train him to eat healthy when it taste bland. I thank you for the chance to get a helping hand. I really enjoy ATK too.
Sheila Payne

581 April January 20, 2011 at 1:48 pm

I LOVE ATK!!! Seriously, LOVE them and their cookbooks!

I’ve been lusting after this one for a while now and it would be just fabulous if I were the lucky winner!!!

If I don’t win, I’ll still love ATK, and likely follow your blog, but winning this would make me do these things much ‘louder’ (aka tell everyone) and would be SOO much more awesome!!! :)

585 Alana DeWitt January 20, 2011 at 1:53 pm

But if I did win the cookbook, I’d have one less reason to stay fat.

588 Jo K. January 20, 2011 at 1:56 pm

I’d love to add this cookbook to my Cook’s Illustrated collection. I almost cook exclusively from their recipes and I’m on their web site every single day. I trust their equipment reviews and buy most everything they recommend.

Frugal Girl,

This week my healthy trick was to make up a huuuuge batch of guacamole and eat it on tostadas with beans this week. It was so delicious and filled me right up without too much food.
YUM!

596 Sarah January 20, 2011 at 2:01 pm

I love watching ATK on PBS! I have made so many of their recipes and they always come out failproof. My favorite episode is the thanksgiving turkey episode. Made it this past November and the family loved it. Thanks for the great giveaway!

597 Jennifer January 20, 2011 at 2:02 pm

Such a fan of the show! I would love to win the cookbook too!

OH MY GOSH! How I love ATC! I need this book. I wanna win….

606 Teresa T. January 20, 2011 at 2:09 pm

After my daughter was born last year,my husband and Ihave taken a hard look at our diets and needed to make some changes. We been trying to focus on good food choices but like you stated, a lot ofe”healthy” recipes are lackluster at best. I’ve enjoyed watching and trying out some of the tips/products on ATK but it doesn’t air regularly in my area. I would love to “test” out this cookbook. We’ve decided that the best choice for our family is for me not to return to workand focus on our daughter. I love your frugality especially now that I too am taking a more creative approach to food, money and … Stuff in general. – trust in ATK tested recipes not to wreck my budget.

607 Hannah January 20, 2011 at 2:13 pm

ATK is my fave! I love that they test so many recipes and only publish the best of the best and are so honest about what they find out. My favorite baked bone-in chicken breast recipe is an ATK recipe. I would love to have a copy of this book.

PS:I just discovered your blog 2 days ago and I’m already hooked. Thanks for sharing so much of your life with us!

608 Mary January 20, 2011 at 2:13 pm

Would love to add an ATK Healthy Cookbook to my collection. Love the red one! Thanks for opportunity

609 Katie January 20, 2011 at 2:14 pm

I would love this cookbook. I’m have committed this year to make dinner more and make foods from scratch rather than buy processed. This looks like a great cookbook!

610 Kristi January 20, 2011 at 2:17 pm

I want this cookbook. : )

611 Crystal January 20, 2011 at 2:18 pm

I’d absolutely love to win this cookbook!

612 Catherine January 20, 2011 at 2:23 pm

I want this book – love the family cookbook but our asses are getting big from all the butter and heavy cream.

613 Lynnessa January 20, 2011 at 2:24 pm

Kristen,
I was so excited to this cookbook on your site! I got this cookbook for Christmas and I have to say I’m in love. I’ve always been a huge fan of ATK but this book is so easy flip open to use while cooking, the pictures are fantastic, and the layout is easy to read. I was also ecstatic at the ingredient lists. Higher fiber, satisfying, and lower fat – but still taste good? ATK did it. You mentioned you wanted to try the quick cinnamon rolls – do! They are wonderful truly low fat, high fiber cinnamon rolls. I couldn’t believe it.
I would love a signed copy though and would happily pass on a copy to my best friend.

614 Monica January 20, 2011 at 2:25 pm

This would fit in great with my new year plans!

615 kate in ny January 20, 2011 at 2:26 pm

Oooh – I just love new cookbooks!

620 Elizabeth B. January 20, 2011 at 2:30 pm

Any time I need a go-to recipe, I head to the library to check out the ATK version. Glad you feel the same!

621 Kira Withers-Jones January 20, 2011 at 2:30 pm

That sounds like a great book. I’m going to have to look for it in the local library. I like the sound of the recipes and the ‘real food’ feeling of it.

622 Shel B January 20, 2011 at 2:30 pm

Right now I’m into making simple things taste complicated, and teaching my family that nutritious meals can be fun and delicious. I’ve never heard of ATK, but sounds like something that’s right up my alley! Good luck everyone!

623 Wendy Schaeffer January 20, 2011 at 2:35 pm

631 Leigh Ann Hicks January 20, 2011 at 2:42 pm

What a fun cookbook! I love to collect cookbooks (and use them!). I’m always looking for those “science” type tips of why a recipe works better if you… I learned a lot from the Cookwise cookbook. Happy baking!

632 Carole T January 20, 2011 at 2:43 pm

I throw my name in the drawing – I’ve made a commitment to work a little harder at making healthy choices!

636 Dani January 20, 2011 at 2:45 pm

Awesome cookbook. Love the pictures

637 Jackie January 20, 2011 at 2:45 pm

wow, what a nice cookbook that I would LOVE to have. yes, i like to stick to whole foods cooking and learn new skills like yourself.

638 Cristen P. January 20, 2011 at 2:48 pm

This sounds like a wonderful prize! I’ve really been trying to cook healthier, yet tasty, foods for my family but have been having a hard time combining the two adjectives! (It’s either tasty OR healthy!) Anyhow, thanks for your very helpful and own-to-earth blogs. And yes, I’d love to win the cookbook!

639 shannon January 20, 2011 at 2:48 pm

always fun to try a new cook book

640 Carol T January 20, 2011 at 2:49 pm

I read you every time you post. I never commented before but you offering this cookbook brought me to the comment section! Love your blog!

641 Stacy January 20, 2011 at 2:52 pm

I love healthy recipes that are based on real food. I think that is the only way to go. ATK always has such good recipes.

642 Deb January 20, 2011 at 2:54 pm

I love ATK and I love healthy cooking…so I would super-love to win this book!

643 triciaw January 20, 2011 at 2:56 pm

I’d love to have this book. I too go to the Cook’s Illustrated website and the tips and recipes are great. I sometimes watch ATK on our local PBS station and I have tried some of the recipes there also.

644 Deborah January 20, 2011 at 2:56 pm

My husband and I love ATK and watch it on PBS. I have The New Best Recipe cookbook and use it often. I appreciate the research and trial & error that goes in to their recipes and that they include it in the cookbooks. I appreciate knowing “why” something does or doesn’t work.
Thanks for the great offer. Hope I win!

645 Izabela January 20, 2011 at 2:57 pm

No sure if I can enter since I am in Canada but I would really like a chance to win this cookbook!!!

646 Gloria C January 20, 2011 at 2:59 pm

I love cooking healthier, but just as important that it tastes good. Looking forward to hearing from you that I won the cookbook. lol!

647 Katy M January 20, 2011 at 3:05 pm

CC is my favorite cooking magazine – the depth of hands-on research is amazing!

648 FlourMeWithLove January 20, 2011 at 3:06 pm

I love to cook and I’m always wanting to learn more as far as healthy eating, this would be a great book to help me!

649 Jean January 20, 2011 at 3:06 pm

I enjoy all things Cooking Illustrated plus my husband and I have rediscovered a love for cooking together in our empty nest.

650 TraciFree January 20, 2011 at 3:08 pm

Wow, there’s a lot of competition for this book. You never win unless you try, so here’s me throwing my hat in the ring. I always had a crush on Christopher growing up : ).

651 Rebecca January 20, 2011 at 3:11 pm

Pick me! Would love this cookbook! :)

652 Jennifer Whitt January 20, 2011 at 3:15 pm

I would LOVE this cookbook! :)

653 Bruce January 20, 2011 at 3:16 pm

After having made so many recipes from Cook’s Illustrated, I need a Healthy Family Cookbook from the kitchens of Cook’s Illustrated. LOL!!!

654 Kristina January 20, 2011 at 3:18 pm

I just found ATK on TV a couple months ago and was immediately hooked. I love the science & passion of it! Love your blog, too!

655 Carissa in KS January 20, 2011 at 3:19 pm

I am thrilled to see another cookbook using real, whole foods!

656 Nathan January 20, 2011 at 3:20 pm

I love that sweet potato biscuit recipe! And I would love to have the cookbook as well…

657 Kristen January 20, 2011 at 3:21 pm

Book want I do. :)

658 Juliette January 20, 2011 at 3:23 pm

This likes a great cook book to have. I am trying to cook healthy and use real food. Does that make sense? So this sounds like it would be something that would go along with that.

659 Mary Kate January 20, 2011 at 3:24 pm

I’d love to win, just like I love your blog(s).

660 Sarah January 20, 2011 at 3:26 pm

I’m a HUGE Cooks Illustrated fan! Would love the new cookbook!

661 Ness January 20, 2011 at 3:26 pm

This sounds like a great cookbook. I’ve actually only gotten into cooking during the last year and I’m getting there. Surprisingly, one of the foods I’ve always had the easiest time with is yeast bread :) Thanks for the giveaway!

662 Jill January 20, 2011 at 3:27 pm

I love looking at cookbooks. I am trying to cook healthier for my family. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I do not.

663 Izabela January 20, 2011 at 3:28 pm

Yes please! I’d love to get this cookbook!

664 Caitlyn January 20, 2011 at 3:29 pm

I love ATK!
This would be a great cookbook to have, as I am embarking on a healthy lifestyle change!

665 Stephanie K January 20, 2011 at 3:30 pm

OH! I would love to have this cookbook.
I’m trying to get out of the rut of cooking the same thing every two weeks. My boys and husband are getting bored and I’d love the opportunity to use this as a source for new recipes.

666 Margaret January 20, 2011 at 3:30 pm

Beautiful book! I would love a copy!

667 Keesha January 20, 2011 at 3:31 pm

I love, love, love ATK and CI! I saw Christopher Kimble (I think that’s his name?) on the Today show this morning making a greek shrimp dish that looked fabulous. It had me craving shrimp at 9:30 in the morning! :-)

668 Cassie January 20, 2011 at 3:32 pm

I would love to own this cookbook! Thanks for all the great info and helps you post on your blog. :-)

669 Martha January 20, 2011 at 3:32 pm

My fiance and I have just started to be much more intentional about what we cook and would love this cookbook to help with that!

670 Charlotte January 20, 2011 at 3:33 pm

How I would love this cookbook! I too love Cook’s Illustrated

671 Jessica January 20, 2011 at 3:36 pm

Real, tasty, healthy food… Now that’s my idea of a cookbook!

672 Terri from NC January 20, 2011 at 3:38 pm

On Sunday’s, no one bothers me between 2:00-3:00 because I am watching America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country. I love, love love the new kitchen product/gadget review.

673 Rhonda MacLean January 20, 2011 at 3:38 pm

I am always happy to get your impression of products and books and would live to add this one to my cook book library.
Thanks

674 Leslie January 20, 2011 at 3:42 pm

Even though I’m not the best cook, I read cookbooks like most people would read a novel! I would love to add this one to my collection, and make some tasty, healthy food for my hubby!

675 Joan January 20, 2011 at 3:43 pm

My library has a crazy good selection of cookbooks, but this is not among them. Plus Christopher Kimball’s autograph? I may swoon!

676 SukYee January 20, 2011 at 3:48 pm
677 Tonyia Cooper January 20, 2011 at 3:49 pm

I have the book and LOVE it.

678 Ann Smith January 20, 2011 at 3:50 pm

This is the first time that I’ve looked at your blog. One of my friends this weekend made a bread recipe of yours and it was just wonderful! So today I checked out your blog and the first thing that caught your eye was that you weren’t feeling too well. Hope you are starting to feel better. As for me…I used to get sick quite often. My immune system is extremely poor but one way on how I’ve boosted it is by eating certain foods. It seems like you get a lot of great recipes out of this cook book and I too would to use it considering that it has healthy ideas! I’m a new wife and trying to improve my cooking skills (a true adventure at times)! Even if I don’t win this book I will definitely be checking out your blog. Thanks so much for your passion and desire to help others eat healthy!

679 Carolyn Griffin January 20, 2011 at 3:50 pm

Watch America’s Test Kitchen on Saturday afternoons on PBS. You can learn a lot!!

680 FishyGirl January 20, 2011 at 3:50 pm

That looks like an awesome cookbook! Real butter? Be still, my heart.

681 Sara January 20, 2011 at 3:51 pm

I have been learning how to cook this past year. I try to make my meals really special for my husband, as he is a pilot and travels often and eats out all the time. This would be a great resource for me!

682 Danielle Pontow January 20, 2011 at 3:51 pm

I love cookbooks and this is one I want to “collect”

683 jay w January 20, 2011 at 3:51 pm

I really, really would love to win the book!

684 Matt Kelly January 20, 2011 at 3:54 pm

Big fan of ATK, and have some of their other cookbooks. Don’t have this one yet, so please count me in the drawing! Thanks!

685 Lisa H January 20, 2011 at 3:55 pm

Enjoy the Test Kitchen on PBS and would love winning the book!!!!!!

686 Heidi January 20, 2011 at 3:55 pm

I love American’s Test Kitchen! Thank you, Frugal Girl for doing this :)

687 Danyelle January 20, 2011 at 3:55 pm

I love that the cookbook is spiral bound so it can lay flat.

688 Janna January 20, 2011 at 3:55 pm

Applesauce instead of oil in just about everything I bake – such a health boost, but no taste difference :)

I would LOVE this book. After we had kids, we quit eating processed foods (almost entirely) and fast food so I end up cooking/preparing food a lot more than I used to.

689 Lori Kintz January 20, 2011 at 3:56 pm

I watch ATK all the time on PBS! Yay!

690 Dee January 20, 2011 at 3:57 pm

Helathy recipes! Yum, what a great book!

691 Tosha Burger January 20, 2011 at 3:58 pm

Sounds kind of awesome to me:)

692 Wendy January 20, 2011 at 3:58 pm

I want the book. And, if I don’t win it, I am going to buy it anyway and give it to my husband. I think he would really enjoy it. This will be a perfect b-day gift.

693 Georgia January 20, 2011 at 4:01 pm

Hi Kristen!
I would LOVE to win this! All of the tips would be VERY helpful to me!

thanks-
Georgia

694 Melissa January 20, 2011 at 4:03 pm

I would absolutly loooooove to add this to my collection. I love reading cookbooks- I read them as if they are novels. I didn’t receive a single cookbook for Christmas, so I am feeling a little lost without a new cookbook to read at night. :)

695 Barb @ 1SentenceDiary January 20, 2011 at 4:04 pm

I *love* ATK and I have the 2000-2009 cookbook, which is a go-to for nearly anything I want to make. I’d love to add this one to my collection!

696 Shina January 20, 2011 at 4:06 pm

Wow, I’d really like to have this book. I really admire you and your blog. Thanks for all you do!

697 michele January 20, 2011 at 4:06 pm

Love love love atk, although I know it’s probably pretty useless to enter I can’t not do it. My birthday is wednesday, you could send it to me as a present. Pretty please!

698 Pepper January 20, 2011 at 4:07 pm

701 Joyce January 20, 2011 at 4:09 pm

I would love to win this cookbook. My 23 year old is moving out and I would love to give this to her as a housewarming gift. Thanks for having this contest. I love your blog.

702 Amy Tran January 20, 2011 at 4:16 pm

ATK are fool-proof (I am said fool.) However, the light cooking recipes takes 2-3 tries before I can perfect them.

703 Christy B January 20, 2011 at 4:16 pm

Awesome review! Thanks for the chance!

704 Jamie January 20, 2011 at 4:16 pm

I LOVE your daily blog. I saw you on The 700 club and have followed your blog since then. I would love to win that cookbook.

705 Stephanie C January 20, 2011 at 4:19 pm

ATK is my favorite show on PBS. I would love their new cookbook –which would inspire me to cook healthier meals for my family.

706 Stef January 20, 2011 at 4:20 pm

How exciting! Thanks for the opportunity!

707 Valerie Norris January 20, 2011 at 4:22 pm

LOVE their show, magazines and cookbooks. I have tons of other cookbooks, but usually end up back to ATK, Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated–I know those recipes are going to work and be fabulous!

708 Renae January 20, 2011 at 4:24 pm

yuuum! Pick me!

709 Sam January 20, 2011 at 4:24 pm

This looks awesome! I get so tired of “healthy” cookbooks being full of artificial foods.

710 Emilee January 20, 2011 at 4:25 pm

I too love ATK! Got their regular cookbook as a wedding gift and it is well used and loved. I’d love to get my hands on the healthy cookbook though, maybe convince the Mr to eat more delicious veggies :)

711 Adria January 20, 2011 at 4:25 pm

I would love to receive this for my family!

712 Laura January 20, 2011 at 4:26 pm

I have loved Christopher Kimball’s publications ad tv show for years! I would love to have this cookbook. If I don’t win it, I’ll probably go buy it! Thanks for the great giveaway :) .

713 Mandie Giedd January 20, 2011 at 4:28 pm

LOVE ATK! I also really loved Cook’s Illustrated when we could afford the subscription.

714 Melissa January 20, 2011 at 4:29 pm

Oh, wow! These are my favorite cookbooks! I have 3: the ATK Family Cookbook, ATK Baking Book, and The BEST Recipes. I use them all the time. In fact we are eating their recipe for fajitas tonight! I would sooooo love to have this cookbook. I almost put it on my Christmas list, but I was afraid it was just regular ATK recipes with low-fat ingredients. Thanks for this awesome opportunity!

715 Julianne January 20, 2011 at 4:30 pm

I loooove America’s Test Kitchen!! but haven’t been able to catch them on PBS for awhile :(

716 Keith Swist January 20, 2011 at 4:30 pm

Hurry, get me this book quickly! I’m getting fatter and less healthy by the minute! I’ll be waiting by the door eating fried dough.

717 Shaylin Morgan January 20, 2011 at 4:30 pm

I’d love the book! I am working on making our meals healthier for our family and this looks like a great place to get healthy and yummy recipes!

718 Sabrina January 20, 2011 at 4:30 pm

WOW! This sounds like a great book to add to my collection! Love finding new sources of healthy inspiration.

719 E. Ryan January 20, 2011 at 4:38 pm

Ooo, this sounds great!

720 Howard Edmonds January 20, 2011 at 4:41 pm

Don’t forget me!

721 Dianna January 20, 2011 at 4:47 pm

I want the book, really really super really bad!

722 Chelsea January 20, 2011 at 4:50 pm

What a great cookbook, I’d just love to win it!

723 Jean January 20, 2011 at 4:53 pm

I’m such a huge fan of ATK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would loveeee this book!!

724 kimberly January 20, 2011 at 4:55 pm

I would love, love, love to have that cookbook!!

725 Carolina January 20, 2011 at 4:55 pm

I love to watch America’s Test Kitchen!! I don’t have any of their cookbooks, but occasionally buy their special magazines with the recipe cards!

726 Deb Thompson January 20, 2011 at 5:01 pm

I am excited to see this new healthy approach by ATK. It is a good thing!

727 Sarah Bennett January 20, 2011 at 5:03 pm

I would LOVE to get this cookbook!!

728 Stephanie van der Westhuizen January 20, 2011 at 5:10 pm

I love ATK and would love a new cookbook. Thanks!

729 Sara January 20, 2011 at 5:10 pm

I’d love to have the book! My husband and I are really trying hard to eat more healthy foods. This would be perfect! ;-)

730 Carol G January 20, 2011 at 5:10 pm

I have a couple of the ATK books and would love this one!

731 chppie January 20, 2011 at 5:19 pm

While I know the magazine I don’t know the TV show, but I sure am intrigued now. I noticed the shrimp burgers when you mentioned them on your menu and was hoping that you’d post a link. It sounds like a great cookbook.

To cook healthy I focus on whole grains and really limit our family’s white rice consumption. We also try to add more veggies into each meal and have little to no meat. We’re making progress.

Thanks for the review. It was really helpful.

732 Melanie January 20, 2011 at 5:21 pm

Great give-away.

733 NonnaKay January 20, 2011 at 5:21 pm

I would love to have the cookbook!

734 Elizabeth January 20, 2011 at 5:22 pm

Very nice looking cookbook. Fits within my goal of eating more “whole” foods and hopefully improving my health in the process!

735 Jackie January 20, 2011 at 5:23 pm

I love the pics of the recipes. Trying to be healthier this year myself and would really like a new cookbook.

736 Wendy January 20, 2011 at 5:30 pm

Anything light in a cookbook is always useful:)

737 Mandy @ Tiny Tables January 20, 2011 at 5:37 pm

I am a big fan of their cooking for two series! I check them out regularly from the library. I love watching their show on Create, and would love to have this book!

738 Denise Marotta Lopes January 20, 2011 at 5:39 pm

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve never used any of the ATK cookbooks. But after your review, I am a fan. Would love to be a winner…

739 Melissia January 20, 2011 at 5:44 pm

Have been looking for good recipes that are healthy and good! Hard to find sometimes. Would love to win this!

740 Meg January 20, 2011 at 5:46 pm

I won’t lie, I want the cookbook! But also, that’s my philosophy on cooking too! I spend the vast majority of my time in the produce aisle, and give myself permission to spend more money in that section than anywhere else in the grocery store (with the exception of maybe the meat section). I’m definitely going to be checking out more of the ATK cookbooks! Thanks for another great post!

741 Nikki January 20, 2011 at 5:47 pm

I would love to win the cookbook!!! We are always looking for healthy recipes with our busy family schedule.

742 Danielle S. January 20, 2011 at 5:48 pm

I love pureeing vegetables and sneaking them in things. I never realized how much I would love my food processor!

743 Johanna January 20, 2011 at 5:49 pm

Yay! I love new cookbooks! :)

744 Dmarie January 20, 2011 at 5:52 pm

747 Nancy Blume January 20, 2011 at 6:03 pm

Is it too late to enter? I just now saw it and would love to have this cookbook. Hope you feel better soon!!!

748 Megan January 20, 2011 at 6:04 pm

I have the other 2 cookbooks in this series. I LOVE them and cook from them almost exclusively. I would LOVe this one to add to my collection as we are really trying to get a little healthier around here.

749 Amanda Lyninger January 20, 2011 at 6:04 pm

I do the whole Hungry Girl thing. I think that it really works. I’ve made one of her soups, the hungery chick chuncky soup, for just me and my mom, and there are tons of leftovers. She does like an email a day of things she knows to help people.

750 Lisa in Oz January 20, 2011 at 6:12 pm

I want I want I want! Pick me! :P

751 Stephanie January 20, 2011 at 6:13 pm

752 Lynn January 20, 2011 at 6:14 pm

I just discovered America’s Test Kitchen and am thrilled to see that they have a “healthy” cook book. While I have many more cook books than I use and need to edit my collection. This looks like one that would used often! Thanks for the opportunity to win one :-) .

753 Amanda J January 20, 2011 at 6:14 pm

If I don’t win this, maybe I’ll use that Amazon Living Social deal that I bought after seeing your post yesterday to buy it. :)

754 Erin January 20, 2011 at 6:22 pm

Tempting my cookbook addiction…thank you! :-)

755 Megan January 20, 2011 at 6:22 pm

I love watching these guys on tv on the weekends! Thanks so much for hosting the giveaway!!

756 Rachel January 20, 2011 at 6:26 pm

Would love the book, cooking healthy for my family is one of my top 2011 goals!

757 Judith January 20, 2011 at 6:29 pm

Oooh! America’s Test Kitchen is one of my favorite shows. Count me in, please!

758 Erin West January 20, 2011 at 6:41 pm

I love ATK and CI. I found your blog through them! I’ve been reading your archives every chance I get. I would love this book!

759 Carrie January 20, 2011 at 6:42 pm

Sounds wonderful!

760 Jan January 20, 2011 at 6:45 pm

765 Paula Montgomery January 20, 2011 at 6:50 pm

I am going to have to add this cookbook to my collection.

766 Cheryl January 20, 2011 at 6:52 pm

Oh, how I would love to win this!! I have been trying to lose weight/eat healthier and this would be very helpful. I love that it has real food, and real serving sizes!! Thank you for the chance to enter =)

767 Mim January 20, 2011 at 6:52 pm

I love ATK but I haven’t watched it lately. Going to set the DVR after this comment.

I have tried to increase the use of whole grains and fruit in my family’s diet. Simple changes and ones we can live with for the long haul. Neufactel cheese is one of my favorites. Substituting apple sauce for oil in some baked goods. Works pretty well in all the quick bread I’ve tried it on.

768 rebecca January 20, 2011 at 6:55 pm

love cooking!!

769 K. January 20, 2011 at 7:01 pm

I have been eyeing this cookbook and wanted to check it out from the library but my library doesn’t carry it! Thanks so much for the review…if I don’t win, I might just buy it anyway :) !!!!!

770 Laura January 20, 2011 at 7:02 pm

Oooh, what a great looking book! If I am not lucky enough to win it then I will deinitely be putting it on my birthday list!! I am always looking for nice healthy recipes that don’t substitute weird non-food stuff!! L xxx

771 Erin January 20, 2011 at 7:03 pm

I’ve used the Cook’s Illustrated “for two” cookbooks quite a bit and everything always works out just as they say! This new ATK would be just as excellent, I’m sure.

772 Susan Crane January 20, 2011 at 7:12 pm

I would love a cookbook. I have been reading Cook’s Illustrated since the beginning and have watched every season of ATL and Cooks Country. PLEASE!

773 Becky Nadeau January 20, 2011 at 7:16 pm

Hey, I’m super excited about this giveaway. I have been looking for a good way to start fresh in my cooking habbits this year and there’s just so much out there where does one begin? So, I’m hoping I’m the winner of this – it would be SOOO wonderful!!!

774 Amy B. January 20, 2011 at 7:18 pm

LOVE AKT/Cook’s Illustrated!

I want the book!

775 Sara Tetreault January 20, 2011 at 7:21 pm

I have their other cook book (the less healthy one!) and would love this version!

776 Jodi January 20, 2011 at 7:23 pm

I so desperately want that book!!!

777 Nan January 20, 2011 at 7:26 pm

LOVE ATK! I got their complete series cookbook for Christmas and have already made several recipes and tagged most of the others.

778 Andi January 20, 2011 at 7:29 pm

I would looooove to win the book!

779 Francine January 20, 2011 at 7:30 pm

I can’t say I cook very healthy but a colorful meal helps!

780 Marcia January 20, 2011 at 7:31 pm

Me! Me! Me! (my hand is also raised high :) )

781 Kate January 20, 2011 at 7:35 pm

Sounds great – I love reading “real” reviews. I might need to try this book! Thanks :)

782 One Frugal Girl January 20, 2011 at 7:39 pm

I’d love to win! Throw my name in the hat too!

783 amie stafford January 20, 2011 at 7:46 pm

I love cookbooks! I read them like some people read novels! I actually went dumpster diving for a set of cookbooks someone threw out!

Finally, I have found someone that adors ATK as much as do. I can not rave enough about this company. Their receipes, magazines, tv shows, emails and concept are all amazing. ATK has been a staple in my house for close to a decade and I can not imagine by recipe collection without them. They are my first choice for recipes, their tried and true techniques have never disapointed me. I am such an addict that I have even converted my husband, their grilling book is the 1st book my husband grabs when BBQ/smoker food is on the menu for dinner. I will continue to recommend them as my recipe provider of choice … now if only I could be one of their employees in their test kicthen!!!

785 sarah January 20, 2011 at 7:56 pm

I would LOVE this cookbook!! One of my resolutions for this year is to cook more from scratch—so this would be so wonderful to win! I must add, the shrimp burgers looked delish!!!

794 marla January 20, 2011 at 8:19 pm

795 Tami January 20, 2011 at 8:19 pm

I’m involved in a veggie swap which forces me to cook healthier and find new exciting recipes for veggies I wouldn’t normally cook with. I would love ATK cookbook

796 Marcia January 20, 2011 at 8:23 pm

Yummmm. I got hooked on the magazine at my local library. This cookbook sure would make a wonderful 50th birthday present for me :-) . Today is the day and I rejoice in the years God has given me. If I eat healthy by using the recipes in this book, maybe I’ll have 5o more!

797 Tricia @ This Happy Home January 20, 2011 at 8:23 pm

Oh, how nice!! Assuming I don’t win, I just put it in my Amazon cart.

798 Diana January 20, 2011 at 8:32 pm

What fun things you get to do. Cook’s is the best and to have a chance to review one of their publications. Then you get to gift it to some lucky person. What Joy! If I don’t win I will find me a copy to enjoy. Oh have your tried their Chicago deep dish style pizza?

799 Faye Kinser January 20, 2011 at 8:34 pm

Hi, I really enjoy reading your blog and the tips and photos for frugal living! Please enter me in the request to receive the free cookbook. Thanks, Faye

800 Tammy January 20, 2011 at 8:34 pm

Thanks to you and ATK for the opportunity.

801 S. Eastman January 20, 2011 at 8:38 pm

Love ATK but don’t have any of their books yet. This one looks spectacular! Thanks for sharing the recipes!!

802 stephany January 20, 2011 at 8:42 pm

I feel like the only one in America that hasn’t heard of ATK…I will definitely have to check the local PBS station for the show. Your review caught my eye as I’m always looking for new HEALTHY recipes!

803 Amber January 20, 2011 at 8:43 pm

The recipes you tried sound delish. Would love to have a GOOD healthy cookbook. Just might have to spend my $10 for a $20 amazon gift card that I picked up on this :)

804 Whitney January 20, 2011 at 8:47 pm

I’d love to win!

805 D. Savage January 20, 2011 at 8:51 pm

Yipee! I would love to win this! I only have several of the Cook’s older magazines i got at a library sale sometime back; this would be awesome! Thanks for the chance to win!

810 Elizabeth January 20, 2011 at 9:05 pm

Oooh, this is cool! I discovered Cooks Illustrated back in the early 90′s and enjoy their recipes very much. I must say, I enjoy yours too. I particularly like the photos you include. Even experienced cooks like to know what the food ought to look like at any given stage! Thank you.

811 crystal Stevens January 20, 2011 at 9:12 pm

would love to win this… please pick me… I could use a healthy cook book..

812 Jackie January 20, 2011 at 9:13 pm

815 Debbie January 20, 2011 at 9:23 pm

Looks like an awesome cookbook! I’m always looking for new healthy recipes to feed my family. I’d love to have this book in my kitchen!

816 Rachel January 20, 2011 at 9:23 pm

Ooh! Ooh! Would love to win! I love Cook’s Illustrated, but I also try to cook healthy. I too share your dislike of “healthy” food made with fake ingredients, so this is very appealing to me.

817 Diane January 20, 2011 at 9:24 pm

I am trying so hard to downsize and de-clutter. I would be happy to have to get rid of some OTHER cookbooks to make room for this one!

818 Danielle January 20, 2011 at 9:27 pm

I would love this book!! I have stacks of their magazines and this cookbook would be a great addition!

819 Cassie January 20, 2011 at 9:31 pm

I LOVE ATK, and would really enjoy this cookbook!

820 Stephanie January 20, 2011 at 9:33 pm

I watch their show all the time on PBS. I wold love a new cookbook!

821 Elizabeth January 20, 2011 at 9:38 pm

I would love to add this to my ATK cookbook collection!

822 Lauren January 20, 2011 at 9:41 pm

I love ATK’s cookbooks! A relative of ours first turned us on to them via a subscription to Cook’s Illustrated, and we’ve been hooked ever since… my oldest sons will sit down and read old issues for “fun” (I only wish they’d take the next step and MAKE some of the recipes :-) ).

823 Joan Termors January 20, 2011 at 9:50 pm

I watch America’s test Kitchens on TV. I’d love a copy of the healthy recipes!

824 Tina January 20, 2011 at 9:57 pm

825 Michelle W. January 20, 2011 at 10:06 pm

I’m always looking for cookbooks like this one!

826 Cheryl January 20, 2011 at 10:11 pm

I love eating and cooking healthy. This would give me some new ideas to try. I would enjoy this ATK autographed cookbook. Thanks for making such a terrific opportunity.

827 Beth W January 20, 2011 at 10:19 pm

If I don’t win the cookbook here, I’m going to have to check it out from the library. Yumm!!!

828 Colleen January 20, 2011 at 10:33 pm

I would LOVE this book! The cookbook fanatic in me started drooling as soon as I saw the pics! ALL cookbooks should lay flat while open, there is nothing worse than having your hands covered in food and the book snapping shut on you! Thanks so much for the review.

829 Nancy E. January 20, 2011 at 10:34 pm

Love the red ATK cookbook. We just finished our dinner that included the buttermilk biscuits. Would love to try out the healthier cookbook.

830 Anne January 20, 2011 at 10:35 pm

I actually found your blog over the weekend after reading the ATK email promoting this book and their “blog tour” and have become hooked. I’d love a free copy! :)

831 Stephanie N~ January 20, 2011 at 10:54 pm

Christopher Kimball and boy could I use a new cookbook!!!!

832 Lorraine January 20, 2011 at 11:04 pm

I am a huge fan of ATK, though the show doesn’t always feature the healthiest of recipes. I would love to see the cookbook!

833 Jennie Jarrett January 20, 2011 at 11:05 pm

I have heard wonderful things about this cookbook! I would love to try out some of these recipes myself!

834 Brandy January 20, 2011 at 11:15 pm

I checked this book out at the library a couple of weeks ago and was really impressed. If I don’t win your giveaway, I just might have to buy one for myself!

835 Catherine Warren January 20, 2011 at 11:22 pm

I love your site, am growing to love Cook’s Illustrated (I’m newbie), and want a great cookbook to get me started.

Thanks!

836 Dottie January 20, 2011 at 11:28 pm

841 Maddie January 21, 2011 at 12:44 am

I, too, love Cook’s Illustrated. I would love to win the book but if not, I’ll probably buy it. I’m not a fabulous cook so I have been trying to cook healthier with more whole foods in simple dishes.

842 Lisa O Shea January 21, 2011 at 12:44 am

I would love to win this book!What you have made looks delish!

843 Suzanne January 21, 2011 at 1:34 am

846 Jesilee January 21, 2011 at 2:59 am

I would love to win and make those sweet potato biscuits!

847 logan January 21, 2011 at 3:02 am

I wanna win so my fiancee will make them for me :)

848 The Saved Quarter January 21, 2011 at 3:32 am

I love America’s Test Kitchen/Cook’s Illustrated! The New Best Cookbook is one of my favorites. I’d love to see the new one, and the signature would make me happy indeed!

849 Molly January 21, 2011 at 5:38 am

I’d love to try the Green Goddess dip!

850 Stacey January 21, 2011 at 5:58 am

There’s obviously A LOT of people who want to win this (843 comments before mine). I love to read cook books and find new recipes to try and inspiration to make up my own. Would love to win this book.

854 Jane Creighton January 21, 2011 at 7:04 am

I’m throwing in my hat for the cookbook.

855 Kimberly January 21, 2011 at 7:09 am

Those recipes look great! I’m kind of surprised that ATK would put out a “healthy” cookbook – their recipes are usually loaded with comfort food ingredients.

Would love to win this!

856 Kim January 21, 2011 at 7:21 am

I would love this! I really enjoy cook’s illustrated. Wish I’d found it earlier in my cooking life.

857 Linda Walmer January 21, 2011 at 7:28 am

I would love to own this cookbook. It would be a special treasure for me.

858 Jennifer Dupuis January 21, 2011 at 7:28 am

I’ve watched America’s Test Kitchen before and I loved it. For me, a cookbook HAS to have photos so bring it on! haha.

859 Jacey January 21, 2011 at 7:41 am

I would love this cookbook!

860 Vera January 21, 2011 at 7:57 am

I would love to have this cookbook. I’m trying hard to keep my husband and me healthy and strong!!!

861 simplydab January 21, 2011 at 8:03 am

862 Stacey B January 21, 2011 at 8:14 am

OK I NEED this cookbook…my husband usually cooks and he just took a job where he travels often and so me (the non cook!) is trying to cook!!!

863 Dana January 21, 2011 at 8:32 am

867 Charyl Shorter January 21, 2011 at 9:09 am

Love this show on PBS! Even if I don’t win, I’ll be checking this out from the Library-thanks for the opportunity!

868 Michelle Wiger January 21, 2011 at 9:11 am

I love ATK!!! The cookbook I have of theirs is my go-to book of all time, but this would be sooo awesome! I’m trying to get my family to eat healthier but it’s challenging with a tight budget

869 Valerie S. January 21, 2011 at 9:16 am

Cooking and baking is an art form. There is no limit. Cook with passion, serve with love, and eat with your family or invite someone for dinner! Get creative!

870 amy January 21, 2011 at 9:26 am

WOW I would love to win a cook book I accually dont own any cookbooks so this wold be awsome!…love your blog!

871 Erin T January 21, 2011 at 9:41 am

I want the book! I’m desperate for healthier recipes.

872 Torrey January 21, 2011 at 9:42 am

Please, please, please pick me! I often sit by my tv-watching husband and read a cookbook. I’ve slowly been sneaking veggies and more fruit into my family’s diet. My fruit smoothies have wrinkled baby tomatoes and sometimes even a few baby carrots in them and they never notice!

873 Gayle W January 21, 2011 at 9:43 am

We are always looking for ways to cook and eat more healthy. I would love to win this book.

874 Susan January 21, 2011 at 9:45 am

876 Jodi January 21, 2011 at 9:47 am

I would absolutely love a new cookbook, I collect them, and this one sounds wonderful!

877 Suzette January 21, 2011 at 10:10 am

I love ATA cookbooks!

878 Vickie January 21, 2011 at 10:20 am

I would love to have a new cookbook. But let’s not tell my children they already think I have too many. I can’t help it. I walk by the cookbook section of the bookstore and they jump out into my arms and they make me take them home with me.

879 Katie January 21, 2011 at 10:25 am

Holy cow! That’s a lot of comments!!!!!!!!!

880 Diane January 21, 2011 at 10:36 am

Those biscuits are going to be a fave around here – and I love the color, too. I’d love to have this cookbook!

881 vicky January 21, 2011 at 10:38 am

cool. i think its great how food bloggers can find the time to to give out freebies =)
i like to bake seasoned fish on a bed of salmon, or roast chicken. Mostly baking and somewhat oil free food when i feel like making healthy meals.

Making your own salad dressing does wonders for salad Jamie Oliver shows real simple ways to make salad better, and organic pepper is the best =)

Jamie Oliver did an episode on salad (leafy veg) His tv series Jamie at home is pretty cool. it shows you how to plant the veg or ingredient and three or so recipies that have to do with it =) they had one on strawberries too!

an entry to join this lottery would be great =D thanks FG !!!!

882 vicky January 21, 2011 at 10:38 am

errr… i meant bed of onions =O i was just thinking about dinner a couple days ago lol! sorry for the word-o.

883 Ginny January 21, 2011 at 10:47 am

I am so excited about you free ATK healthy cook book give away! I didn’t know you liked them as much as I do. I watch them all the time on our local PBS station, that is how I originally found out about them. then I learned of their on-line and magazine items. I have two cookbooks of theirs, but was looking at the healthy cookbook since my husband has finally come around to wanting to eat healthier. I would love to win that book. Thank you for offering us the chance! ~Gin~

884 Sandi January 21, 2011 at 10:50 am

My current resource for healthy cooking is Nourishing Traditions which focuses on using ingredients in their purist form and cooking techniques to get the most nutrition possible. High density nutrition. I would love to add another cookbook into the mix and this one sounds wonderful! Thanks for a great blog and offering this opportunity!

885 Budget Girl January 21, 2011 at 10:53 am

I’m always looking for new, healthy recipes to feed my family and this book sounds awesome! Hope I win! (fingers crossed)

886 Apple Lady 54 January 21, 2011 at 10:58 am

OK, Kristen, you got me to respond! I have been (as my children–all in their 20′s say) “stalking” you for well over a year. I absolutely love having a peek into your lovely home life and family each day. It reminds me of myself a few years ago when I was homeschooling my two boys and two girls. And I continue to enjoy the challenge of being frugal even now, almost 20 years later, when it is not so very necessary.

You are truly a gifted photographer, writer, baker, and frugalista, and a very blessed wife and mother. Keep those photos and stories coming–I am sure they are a delight and inspiration to many other “stalkers” out there who have never responded to you. Right now I am enjoying planning out a 14-day Valentine celebration for my husband! I will let you know how it turns out!

P.S. I would love to win that ATK cookbook!

887 Janet January 21, 2011 at 11:03 am

Wow! This cookbook seems ‘real’ and I would love to have it. I use real ingredients for real food in my cooking. So what it my definition of ‘real’ it’s a.k.a. food without additives, processing, dyes, preservatives, etc.

888 Melissa January 21, 2011 at 11:10 am

Wow I would love to try some recipes out of the cookbook.

889 rq January 21, 2011 at 11:26 am

I love adding extra diced and chopped veggies to recipes to “bulk” them up (think zucchini, celery, carrots, peppers, spinach, green beans, the possibilities are endless!). That way it makes extra servings AND lowers the calories in each serving.

890 melanie January 21, 2011 at 11:30 am

Hey! I’ll take it!
thanks

891 JS January 21, 2011 at 11:36 am

Ah!!! This is an amazing giveaway and review (we trust your reviews!!). Thank you.

892 Melissa January 21, 2011 at 11:36 am

Great! I didn’t realize they had a new cookbook out and I can’t wait to get ahold of one…the red (Family) one has become my favorite/no-fail cookbook so this is sure to be another favorite!

893 RubyKat January 21, 2011 at 11:40 am

I would love to win this cookbook. Got it from the library but had to return it because it is on a waiting list for other library patrons and I have to wait again to get it. Love ATK!!

894 lindsey January 21, 2011 at 11:51 am

pick me pick me!!! would love to add a healthy cookbook to my cookbook collection :)

895 Susi Paulson January 21, 2011 at 12:28 pm

OMG! What great recipes! I wil definately do the sweet potato buns and even if I don’t win, this looks like a great one to buy!

896 Anne January 21, 2011 at 12:29 pm

I love ATK!!! They are the best recipes – I get their e-mails and log them, but the cook book would be way more convenient. I told one of my friends about their simple way to make green beans (olive oil and salt) in the oven, and her mom, who loves the boxes, just raved about them :)

897 Katherine January 21, 2011 at 12:32 pm

I have caught their cooking show a few times on PBS and enjoyed watching it! It would be fun to try to make some of their recipes. I hope that you are feeling better soon!

898 mo January 21, 2011 at 12:39 pm

Love ATK and would love this book.

899 Nora January 21, 2011 at 12:43 pm

I love ATK! I want it! Thank you!

900 Suzanne January 21, 2011 at 12:44 pm

I can attest to the fact that the website is wonderful. I would love to try out their cookbook recipies!

901 Danny January 21, 2011 at 12:47 pm

I would love this book!

902 Karen January 21, 2011 at 12:56 pm

I would totally love and use this!

903 Stephanie January 21, 2011 at 1:00 pm

I LOVE cookbooks, and I LOVE ATK! It’s one of my favorite shows on PBS. :)

904 Vicki January 21, 2011 at 1:00 pm

There is just something about a ring bound recipe book with pictures that had me reaching out like a toddler begging “I want… I want…”

905 Aghavni January 21, 2011 at 1:01 pm

I Love America’s Test Kitchen. I get Chris’s e-newsletter “Letters from Vermont” & updates for the coming shows, which also have recipes if you didn’t know – check it out.
There recipes are always so well tested and foolproof. I’d love the cookbook too.
Hope you feel better. Stay warm. It’s going to be a bitter cold weekend here in Upstate NY.

906 kristin n. January 21, 2011 at 1:06 pm

I LOVE ATK and Cook’s Illustrated. I have watched them for years on PBS and I own the family cookbook and the baking one as well. I love, love, love their recipes and all the helpful hints and tips they pass along. I’d be tickled pink to win a copy of this new healthy cooking cookbook!!!!

907 Lynsi January 21, 2011 at 1:07 pm

I would love this cookbook!

908 Mallory January 21, 2011 at 1:07 pm

I think I would love the recipes in this book because they are both healthy AND easy. (At least not as intimidating as others I’ve seen.)

909 jan January 21, 2011 at 1:12 pm

::ahem:: Hello, my name is Jan and I’m a cookbook junkie. Ok, now that we got THAT out of the way :) I’m looking forward to the shrimp burger recipe!! Oh wait, IF I win the cookbook, I’d have it!! Good luck all!

910 Marsha66 January 21, 2011 at 1:12 pm

Just love America’s Test Kitchen! Watch and Tvo it all the time.

911 Deb January 21, 2011 at 1:20 pm

Is there such a thing as too many cookbooks? Nah… I didn’t think so either!
:-)

912 Freckles January 21, 2011 at 1:26 pm

Pick me! Pick me! Please and thanks!!!!

913 Beth Anne January 21, 2011 at 1:26 pm

I would love to win this cookbook!

914 Francesca January 21, 2011 at 1:29 pm

I would love to win your cookbook because:

1. I live in Italy and I have an American husband, who would be very happy if I could learn more healthy dishes of the type that remind him of his homeland (if I win, I am happy to pay for shipping, of course). We have a hard time finding good American books over here.

2. I am pregnant with our second child and I am really trying to eat right, so I could use some inspiration to make sure I stick with eating responsably for my baby.

Thanks for sharing your inspiring photos and ideas!

Love,

Francesca

915 Jeniffer January 21, 2011 at 1:33 pm

Eating healthy is a struggle. Would love to have this book :)

916 Kare January 21, 2011 at 1:43 pm

I would love to have this cookbook! I’m trying to eat healthy and feed my family well. This would be a big help!

917 Loralee January 21, 2011 at 1:46 pm

Cooks Illustrated and their cookbooks are some of my favorites, and definitely most oft-used cooking inspirations. This would be a great addition!

918 Mrs. R. January 21, 2011 at 1:46 pm

We’re CI and ATK fans, too….and appreciate your entering us in this giveaway. :-)

919 Sharon January 21, 2011 at 1:47 pm

LOVE me some ATK. I have the Family Cookbook and the Family Baking Cookbook. This would be a great addition!

920 Tommy Vance January 21, 2011 at 1:50 pm

I would love the book. Helping change our family’s diet is a great learning experience, with three teenagers. My wife does a wonderful job, and she loves to cook.

921 Amanda January 21, 2011 at 1:54 pm

It’s been a month or more that I stumbled upon your blog in search of starting a more simplified lifestyle, it should give you cause to smile knowing you have touch many with your blog entries.
Cooking for all those I care for is my passion. This year I would like to pay it forward by cooking healthier for all those I enjoy cooking for – so I would be grateful to have the cookbook you are giving away as a start to a healthier journey for 2011.

932 Mary Jean Coyne January 21, 2011 at 3:27 pm

947 Vanessa January 21, 2011 at 5:09 pm

kristen,

I found you about three weeks ago and have been lurking in the archives, reading from beginning until, well, march of 2010. I don’t read your current stuff because I wanted to “catch up”.. but for some reason, today I did! I am a new SAHM of a 15 month old daughter and am trying to figure out how to live on one income, glorify God while doing so, and not killing my husband with financial fights. So far, you’ve truly been a God send! thanks!

Vanessa

948 Beth W. January 21, 2011 at 5:17 pm

This looks awesome! We’re real foods eaters around here, and it looks like this would help our menu base greatly expand.

949 Paula January 21, 2011 at 5:20 pm

I LOVE ATK! One of their cookbooks would be AWESOME!

950 Elizabeth Oakland January 21, 2011 at 5:24 pm

I really would love to have the ATK cookbook. I’m a big fan of your blog (love the photos and stories) and a big fan of ATK too. I am striving to lose weight this year with making the committment to cook healthier meals and I think this cookbook will help me so much to keep with that goal.

951 Mavis J. January 21, 2011 at 5:54 pm

I love cookbooks! This one looks like a great one.

952 Chelsey P January 21, 2011 at 5:59 pm

Thank you for your insight on this book having “real” food. I often am concerned about buying healthy cookbooks for the same reason, suggesting the “low-fat” or “low-calorie” alternatives that I would rather not include in my diet. I would love this book!

953 Angie January 21, 2011 at 6:21 pm

I soooo want this cookbook!

954 Rachel January 21, 2011 at 6:55 pm

Shrimp burgers sound intriguing! This cookbook would greatly expand our repertoire – ATK and CI have a solid reputation for amazing food.

955 Robyn January 21, 2011 at 7:15 pm

This looks so interesting! I would love to win this!

956 Kristie Lawrence January 21, 2011 at 7:26 pm

Sounds like a great cookbook!

959 Stephanie K. January 21, 2011 at 9:00 pm

We eat healthy because I cook at home. I don’t buy pre-packaged foods and we rarely eat out. I don’t go out of my way to not cook with fat, I use smart portion sizes and include lots of vegetables.

960 Amanda January 21, 2011 at 9:19 pm

Would love to have a copy of this!

961 Kate January 21, 2011 at 9:30 pm

966 Amber January 21, 2011 at 11:29 pm

Recently found your blog and have loved reading it! I am making your hamburger bun recipe right now! They are rising as I type. Well, hopefully. It’s a bit cold in this house. Anyhow, I’d love to win this cookbook. I actually have it checked out right now from my library, but please, how can that compare with a SIGNED copy by Christopher Kimball himself?!

967 Jennifer @ Milk & Honey Mommy January 21, 2011 at 11:51 pm

Kristen,

The shrimp burgers are doing it to me. I would love to win the book.

968 Lynn L January 22, 2011 at 12:05 am

This sounds like it would be a great cookbook to have! I’d love to have this book as it’s really important to have healthy, great tasting food to serve! Thanks for the giveaway! :)

969 Peggie January 22, 2011 at 12:39 am

I’d love to try this cookbook. My first encounter with Cook’s Illustrated was when I pulled it from a friend’s recycling pile. I think I still have that magazine – I know the hoarding police could do a program at my house – but I’ve not purchased it regularly, nor watched the program. There are so many wonderful cooking blogs on the internet to keep me entertained. This would be a perfect addition to my cookbook collection and my kitchen. Send it my way!

970 lori b. January 22, 2011 at 12:53 am

I WANT THAT COOKBOOK!!!

971 Laura Z January 22, 2011 at 1:21 am

This is a great cookbook — I actually checked it out from the libray but 2011 is a “no buy” year for me… but I could win it! Thanks for the giveaway chance!

Thanks so much, I hope your feeling better.

986 jen b January 22, 2011 at 12:18 pm

I’d love to win this! We love cooking around here, and almost everything is homemade (trying to “go brown” with wheat, whole grains, etc) so we could use some new inspirations :)

Our PBS channel carries “America’s Test Kitchen” on Saturdays and I love it. When my girls walk into the living room and see that it’s on, they groan, roll their eyes, and walk back out of the room. I don’t care! I love it!

995 Jamie January 22, 2011 at 4:15 pm

1004 Anne January 22, 2011 at 11:28 pm

Just wanted to say that I tried the Sweet Potato Tea Biscuit and it was really good. Love it, but the kids are not too sure of the color. Looks healthy in a strange way to them. More for me to enjoy. Thanks for all the great recipes.

1010 Kathleen January 23, 2011 at 9:51 am

I just heard a review on the local NPR station on Friday and told myself I’m going to have to check it out when it makes it to the local library. I absolutely love that they made it healthier and yet still made sure it was “real food”. I’m sure I missed the deadline, but if not – add my name to the hat! :)

1011 Megret January 23, 2011 at 10:10 am

This cookbook sounds (and looks) amazing!
