Okay, so I'm stupid
Oct. 9th, 2006 06:00 pmI did it. I started the ATK project I was thinking of. I started a new journal for it under ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

I think I am going to do something stupid.
Anyone familar with the Julie/Julia Project? Basic rundown for those unfamilar. Woman decides to make every single recipe in Julia Child's "The Art of French Cooking" in one year. And then blogs it. (Find the book at your library. Good reading.) A few days ago I got the America's Test Kitchen's Family cookbook. (See this entry on it.) I'm thinking about doing something similar. I wouldn't put myself under a time limit. I'd need a new LJ account.
What in the hell am I thinking?

Okay now this is cool!
Oct. 5th, 2006 01:35 pmI picked this up from costco today for $20.00. Now I'm a big fan of Cook's Illustrated and I love to watch ATK. But being its a magazine, even bound, the format sucks. Its a pain in the ass to find a recipe that you want. And I haven't been too impressed with the two books they released for the show. As they were just rebinding in a new order, articles from the magazine. This version is a big improvement.
All the leading articles to the recipes are gone (Now don't get me wrong I love reading those, but sometimes all I want is the recipe.) And all the recipes are organized by type (i.e. all the cookie recipes together, all the bread, etc) With an index on each divider, making it extremely simple to find the freaking recipe you wanted. Yea! Finally a user friendly copy to ATK
