America's Test Kitchen: Season 7 DVD | Cooking Show Collection | Perfect for Home Chefs & Food Enthusiasts

Even if, like me, you have no cooking ability and very little experience, this is a fantastic show.America's Test Kitchen concentrates on real meals that people are likely to make, not fancy gourmet treats that look fantastic, but nobody will ever try. These recipes are intended to be used.ATK tests recipes many times (since this is a DVD, not a book, the fact that they don't test indexes at all will have no effect). This is the seventh season, so they have their roles down and each show is interesting. I watch the equipment and taste testing even when the topic itself is of no interest to me, they are short and fun. Read the review entitled "Finally a Quality Cooking Show about Cooking" on the page for "America's Test Kitchen Season 7" (why two products? I don't know) for a list of what is covered in season seven.The DVDs do not include written recipes, so you may want to check out the ATK website for availability and price of the DVD and hardcover recipe book set. I bought that version of Season Nine, for roughly the same price as the DVD alone.I used to grill and make the occasional breakfast food. My wife liked my first ATK stew better than anything she'd made in our nearly 30-year marriage, and the kids loved it. Now I make many things and the only question is what to try next. The downside of the show is that you'll want to spend more time cooking, and so spend more on cooking equipment and gadgets, and more time eating. But the show itself is great.
