Season 8 is one of the very best seasons of ATK. You will never make a bad dinner or get a useless recipe from ATK. Some of my favorite Season 8 recipes include: Kansas City BBQ (a lot of work but it's well worth it), Asian Take-Out at Home (this includes 2 easy recipes) and Pepperoni Pizza (this is also a lot of work, but very well worth it). You can find all of these recipes on their Site as well. Often what I do is print up the recipe and read it as I watch the DVD and then pause it for extra time (they're so fast). The only recipes I wasn't crazy about were the Indian dishes, but that's more because of personal preference. Everything else was as usual excellent. I recommend this set to anyone who is either expanding their kitchen library or to anyone who is starting to get acclimated in domestic culinary arts for the first time.
Highly recommended both for private use and public library collections August 14, 2008

America's Test Kitchen Season Eight is a DVD collection of all twenty-six episodes of the popular, public television cooking extravaganza show. Host Christopher Kimball and his fellow cast members walk the viewer through the basics of quality home cooking and great recipes. Episodes include Rainy Day BBQ Pork Chops to French Classics, Asian Take-Out at Home, Pasta and Tomatoes Reimagined, Fish on the Grill, Easy Skillit Suppers, Favorite Slow-Cooker Classics, and much more. Rounding out the step-by-step recipe instructions include no-nonsense taste tests of supermarket ingredients, ratings of the most important pieces of kitchen equipment, and useful kitchen science tips. In today's era of rising prices, inexpensive and healthful cooking at home has become a more attractive option than ever before; to that end, the America's Test Kitchen series is highly recommended both for private use and public library collections. 4 DVDs, 26 episodes.

If you like the show you will like this DVD. The menu lets you pick the receipe or reveiw you want without having to fast forward through the show (an improvment from previous DVD's). Why not 5 stars? The DVD package is cheap compared to the previous DVD's.
