Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Waste of money. :-) I am a huge fan of Cook's Illustrated (CI) and America's Test Kitchen (ATK) and I accept that many of their cookbooks repeat recipes - not a problem. But, this "new" Cook's Illustrated Baking Book is not new. Check the title page. The copyright for the black and white version of the Cook's Illustrated Baking Book is 2013 (which I purchased). The copyright for this "new" Baking Book is also 2013. What's different? A few name changes on the title, the removal of the Christopher Kimball introduction, and a few color photos. Otherwise, it's the same book!! I've been had! :-) Of course, not the first time by CI/ATK, but this really was a waste of my money. So, I gifted the book to one of my siblings. Let me be clear: the Cook's Illustrated Baking Book is a good cookbook (I use it often), but if you have the version with the black and white photos, you don't need this "new" edition unless a few color photos will make a difference for you. It didn't for me.
