This weekend i had the pleasure of working at the Demonstration Kitchen in kohler with America's test Kitchen. The show is aired out of boston and the go to guy or celebrity is Christopher Kimball. I am not too familar with the show but was extermely impressed with their demonstration on Saturday. The chefs and people involved work like busy little bees in that small kitchen but prepared some fabulous dishes.
I was tempted to buy 1 of the 5 books for sale but realized i would not use it quite yet and held out for next year when they return. The crowd was quite large and the book sighning had a great turn out. The first show had a breakfast topic of best blueberry muffins and banana bread. Second tigas or shredded pork tostadas and tres leche cake. Third show was beef stew and Apple slab pie. All the dishes were so delicious.
The thing with ATK is that they test ingredients to find the best ending product. For instance with the bluberry muffins for the 1 cup of milk they substitued sour cream, yogurt and buttermilk. The best outcome was the buttermilk. The same with the apple slab pie they used several different kinds of apples and prepared them all seperate ways to find the best outcome. They strive to find the best recipes.
Lastly they test different products and appliances to see which works the best. Anything from juicers to grinders, wine openers and timers, etc. Kitchen aid blenders happened to work for many purposes and had some great power. I learned alot about America's test Kitchen and am a huge fan now. I look forward to catching a show on t.v or seeing them next year.
