Tried and True
America’s Test Kitchen vows to “make all the mistakes, so you don’t have to.” Editorial director Jack Bishop explains the lengths his colleagues go to—from testing recipes dozens of times, to using the wrong ingredients—to make sure their recipes work. Plus, Peter Falk shares some behind the scenes stories from Columbo and his time on the set with John Cassavetes.
America's Test Kitchen
Jack Bishop, editorial director of America’s Test Kitchen and executive editor of Cook’s Illustrated, explains the scientific method his colleagues use--from testing a single recipe dozens of times, to using the wrong ingredients--in order to take the chance out of cooking. The America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook includes 1,200 recipes, ranging from Skillet Lasagna to Roast Leg of Lamb.

A Talk with Falk
Before Peter Falk became a household name as Lieutenant Columbo, he was turned down for a job with the CIA. In Just One More Thing, he talks about his life on and off the screen—from his work with John Cassavetes to the tumor that caused him to lose his right eye when he was three years old.
Just One More Thing is available for purchase at amazon.com
