Best cookbook I’ve ever owned!
This cookbook has completely changed the way I cook! Not only is it filled with delectable recipes, it also has so many tips and helpful information about foods, preparing them, and cooking them. Each recipe begins with a small paragraph about the recipe and any substitutios that can be made, such as different types of hot peppers that can be used alternatively. There are also notes on any special prep technique required. Alternative variations are also included for some of the recipes. One of my favorites is a variation of another recipe that contains something I don’t eat. I had been cooking the same tired old recipes I’d been making since I was 12, then I got sick of leftovers so I bought this book. I wish I had found it years ago, cutting my recipes down when it was just me & my son was such a hassle. Now we have all types of exotic food, Thai, Indian and Italian dishes I had never had before and they are all big hits in my home!Thank you America’s Test Kitchen for the best cookbook I’ve ever owned!You will not be disappointed if you buy this amazing cookbook!

Valuable information contained within
I bought this several years ago as a Christmas gift for my boss and she loves it. I had been wanting to buy it for myself after my kids grew up and moved away and finally did. I haven’t made any meals from it yet but as an experienced cook I can say it has a lot of valuable information throughout. Makes a great gift for empty nesters or for yourself.

Wonderful cookbook
I love this cookbook! The recipes are delicious but do take some time to prepare. It is exactly the right amount for two people so no more wasting uneaten leftovers. This is my go to cookbook.

Different than original
This is not the same as the original- many changes in content/recipes. It is still a good cookbook but I bought this to replace the paperback version that is was falling apart and was annoyed at the changes. So just beware. If you have used the original- you won’t know. It’s great for 2 people

Game Changer!!!
I have avoided buying the ATK Cooking for Two, but as it was on sale for Prime Days, I bought it. I’m actually happy I waited as this book was revised and updated with 200+ new recipes. As a single person, I hate wasting food but I also don’t want to make a family size portion of anything. This book, along with my ATK Cookbook for One really will be useful for me. I absolutely love ATK Cookbooks and I have 30+ of them. I have been collecting cookbooks for years so while most people find the convenience of finding recipes online, I actually enjoy reading them and cook from my cookbooks all the time. What I like most about ATK Cookbooks is the ‘Why this Recipe Works’ paragraph for every recipe. I don’t think I’ve ever had a failed ATK recipe.

Great recipes in this cookbook
This is the second purchase of this book. I have been using it for several years to make delicious meals for my husband and me. And now I am purchasing it for my granddaughter after she looked through it and found several recipes she wanted to make as well as seeing sections on how to shop, store, and prep foods. My book has 650 recipes, but this new one has 700! And with the recipes from America’s Text Kitchen, you can’t go wrong.

What else needs to be said – I have most of their cookbooks (lots!) and I love every one of them. This one does not disappoint.

Love the number of recipe choices for 2 people, especially the dessert recipes for cakes where ingredients are specifically measured for a small cake.
