- Pros: Very Detailed, Product Reviews & Rankings
- Cons: Only 6 issues, slightly expensive
Aside from the recipe itself, an article is provided explaining how to cook the food and which items can/can not be exchanged/removed and the effects on the taste or overall recipe if they are made. Also provides product reviews on equipment and food brands that will most likely be used during the recipe (these reviews are just as thorough). Illustrations are also provided for help. Every recipe I've tried has came out great!

- Pros: Precise, correct instructions.
- Cons: Not enough of it.
From the editorial to the last page, it is by far the best magazine for cooks. I love the feel of it, the set up of the articles. And I love started off by reading the reflections of its editor. It takes me back to a simpler time. I love the advice from readers and how to use kitchen gadgets and others tools in different ways. I love reading about the process in how the authors reached the final product in the test kitchens. I've never been disappointed in my efforts to re-create the recipes offered.

- Cons: None for me
I am not a very good cook but I do like to cook, this magazine has given me new and easy receipes to try and they explain how they arrived at the receipe, why they used certain ingredients and what went wrong with others. I would have liked to have this 37 yeas ago when I got married.

- Pros: Explanations of how things work in cooking
- Cons: One 6 issues a year
I have subscribed to many food/cooking magazines and found Cooks Illustrated to be the best because it is all about the food, not travel, food-fashion, fancy eating in San Francisco and NYC.
