I love America's Test Kitchen AND Cook's Country. They provide a free weekly e-mail, usually includes a video of a recipe. When possible I'll watch their show on Public TV and enjoy every one.
I used to get the magazines of both but would run out of time before finishing so switched to their large cookbook.
I really trust their recipes and advice, not that I'd make all of them but I've learned a lot...and I've been cooking for more than 40 years.
Yes, several of their baking recipes are just too fussy and time consuming but when it comes to their meat items, the best out there. Many have become family favorites and never could have made them without their help.
The on-line subscription? I tried it for one year, there is way too much on it, could have become addicting if I had the computer on all day.
One thing I don't like, also true for some other companies, they will automatically renew a subscription, even without permission to do so. Fortunately I use a store purchased credit card with a limited amount so this can be avoided, not to mention I won't splash my regular credit card info on the computer. If you read the small print of many subscriptions it says it's up to the customer to notify the company or automatic subscriptions to whichever will be charged to your bank card.
Regarding their recipes, yes, I love their meat and pasta dishes. Desserts are way too time consuming. Try to find them on your computer, current year of both ATK and Cook's Country are offered free, complete with videos and recipes. Might take a little digging but it really is there.
