Most cookbooks tell you their way. This one shows its work. Ella Quittner, who created the Absolute Best Tests column at Food52, ran twenty four head to head tests on the methods behind the food people argue about, then wrote more than a hundred recipes out of what the tests settled.
The point is that best is not one thing: the best roast chicken for a Tuesday is not the best roast chicken for a dinner you will still be thinking about in a year, and this book gives you both along with the reason. She traveled to Tokyo for the tender meatball trick and to the Alabama Black Belt for the flakiest biscuits, and the reporting essays sit alongside the recipes.
Named a Best Cookbook of 2026 by Bon Appetit and Food and Wine. Three hundred and eighty four pages, hardcover.
