America’s Test Kitchen at 20

  • Fred Vigeant

The original and most-trusted test kitchen and TV show — America’s Test Kitchen — is kicking off its 20th anniversary this fall with an anniversary special and the release of a 20th Anniversary edition cookbook and a 20th Anniversary TV Show.

Over the past 20 years, America’s Test Kitchen has whisked nearly 4 million eggs, sifted through 52 thousand pounds of flour, and cooked with over 2,500 pounds of garlic to perfect thousands of recipes that have helped shape the home cooking landscape today. Its time-tested recipe development process involves a staff of 50+ professional cooks and a vast network of volunteer home cooks – 40,000 of them – who ground each America’s Test Kitchen recipe in the realities and palates of the home kitchen and what Americans want to cook and eat.

The America’s Test Kitchen 20th Anniversary cookbook is a compilation of the 580 all-time best recipes from the past 20 years and includes all the recipes from the 20th anniversary season, which premieres in January. The focus of the commemorative cookbook s on real home cooking, foolproof recipes and includes personal anecdotes from the America’s Test Kitchen celebrity cast, where they reveal fun facts like their favorite cuisine and secret food cravings.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, we are sharing our favorite America’s Test Kitchen top 20 recipe for you to try for your holiday crowd: Sticky Buns. Many recipes for sticky buns call for a firm, dry dough that’s easy to manipulate into the required spiral, simple to slice, and study enough to support a generous amount of topping. But firm, dry sticky buns aren’t very appealing. To make a softer, more tender, and moist sticky bun check out this 20th anniversary special sticky bun recipe. This is sure to be a holiday crowd pleaser!
