1. 5/5The Best Pumpkin Pie

   This pie may be a bit more labor intensive than the “standard” type of pumpkin pie we all are accustomed to BUT it is so worth it!! Just follow the directions and you will be fine. I recommend thoroughly reading through the recipe well ahead of time so you can budget your time for the preparation of the crust and pie filling. For example, I am making the crust thru the disk stage and refrigerating on the Monday before Thanksgiving. I will be completing the pies on Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving. I find this really speeds things up and there is a lot less to clean up at one time. An aside… I made three of these pies for a bake sale. One was purchased by a person I know. He called me two days later absolutely raving about it being the very best pumpkin pie he had ever eaten. He then told me he had taken a slice to an aunt that was a retired pastry chef. She was so impressed and couldn’t believe it had been made by a home baker because she also said it was the very best pumpkin pie she had ever tasted… I think she would know! Trust me, this is an excellent recipe and turns out beautifully every time. I find all ATK recipes to be reliably dependable. I rely on their cookbooks for everything.

2. 4/5My go-to cooking support resource

   I’ve been a fan of and user of America’s test kitchen and cooks illustrated etc… resources for 25 years. I’ve had a subscription to the app for five or six years and I highly recommend it for the value it offers providing a searchable digital repository of recipes from across the related publications. I’m giving it four stars instead of five because there are some areas for improvement that remain unaddressed despite regular updates throughout the time I’ve been user. I’m hoping sharing this will help set other user expectations and perhaps inform product enhancements: Opportunity areas: 1) bugginess: mainly that the app crashes more frequently than what I would expect 2) search functionality: while I can usually find what I’m looking for it seems there’s an opportunity for enhanced search, both in the search algorithms, and in allowing for more complex search instructions/criteria and/or natural language search 3) content gaps: sometimes recipes that reference illustrations of techniques, don’t have the associated images from the publications, sometime recipes reference other recipes but the secondary recipe isn’t readily available, sometimes recipes don’t have any images at all, many recipes don’t have the explanatory/learning content associate with the recipe that first got me into ATK and cooks illustrated 4) menu development/ dish accompaniment support: it would be nice if there were better recommendations for what goes with what, or ways to use the knowledge base to build menus. 5) genAI enabled comment review/summaries: would be nice to more easily get a sense of what other users are saying about a particular recipe beyond the rating

3. 5/5I Love ATK And They Did A Great Update On This App

   I am so glad they made so many improvements to their app. The only issues I have now are not being able to share the shopping list across my iPhone and iPad. Everything else shares just not the list. Found that out by putting the list on my iPad and taking my phone to the store. No list. Meh. Also I can’t delete many items on the shopping list as I’m going through the store. It makes that feature almost useless. All that aside I love the app and I love ATK. Been a subscriber for many years. I use this app like a used to use Mealime. I pick out a week of meals and create a collection. Put all the ingredients in my shopping list and eliminate the things I already have on hand. If the shopping list worked like it’s supposed to it would be really cool. I use it anyway and grumble a lot. Please please fix that because everything else is amazing. ❤️❤️❤️

4. 1/5no joy in this kitche

   can’t tell you how disappointed and frustrated I am! I’ve been a fan of cooks illustrated in America’s test, quit kitchen for many many years. Have digital access, put up with the bugs because I appreciate the information techniques available. But as of the last month or so I’ve been completely unable to login either on the website or through the app. I am a voiceover user, had others try to login on the website who aren’t using voiceover, and they are able to access. I have called customer service, no help, they told me I need to call Apple. I have called Apple, no help they need. They tell me I need to talk to cooks illustrated. at this point, I have to decide whether to continue my subscription with the hope that someone there were realize that you have completely made your website an app on accessible to those who have to use voiceover. I have tried to log in here to talk to Apple support, simply tells me the server logs up because I can’t access it. So no help again. please let me know what you’re going to do so I can either cancel my subscription or keep my fingers crossed that you might decide to make your data available to those with handicaps. You claim to be excessively friendly, it’s clear that you were not have you even checked? yes, I am angry.

5. 5/5Love ATK, hate the app

   Worst app I use. Some examples: - have a large favorites file. It only let’s you look at a few at a time. So make take 8 ‘more’ to get to a recipe. And if I look at it, the app fakes me back to beginning!! Have to keep ‘more’. Incredibly frustrating. - SEARCH function is horrid. Used to be able to search for ingredients. I use ‘black garlic’. Try searching for that- you get every recipe that has anything ‘black’ or anything ‘garlic’ - almost 1500 items. One example of many. Previous search options were not great but way better than this. - integration between app and emailed recipes is poor. Email doesn’t know I’m a member, doesn’t always save it to my favorites, and makes the email marketing experience very poor - loads slow too Seen some improvements but overall ATK/CC is an incredible group tied to a poor app
