Considering a Cooking Subscription Service

I’m thinking about signing up for a cooking subscription service, and I’ve noticed that Chef’s Steps and America’s Test Kitchen are quite popular. Has anyone tried either of these? Which one do you think is better? Also, if you have recommendations for other services, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks!

    Both Chef’s Steps and America’s Test Kitchen offer valuable content, but they cater to slightly different audiences and needs.

    Chef’s Steps focuses more on a modern approach to cooking, emphasizing techniques, creativity, and often molecular gastronomy. It’s great for those who want to explore innovative recipes and improve their cooking skills through video tutorials and in-depth articles. If you’re interested in honing your culinary skills with a contemporary flair, Chef’s Steps could be a great choice.

    America’s Test Kitchen is known for its rigorous recipe testing and offers a more traditional approach to cooking. They provide a wide variety of tried-and-true recipes, cooking tips, and equipment reviews. If you’re looking for reliable, foolproof recipes and want to build a solid foundation in home cooking, America’s Test Kitchen may be the better option for you.

    In terms of alternatives, you might also consider:

    • Cook’s Illustrated: This is the magazine arm of America’s Test Kitchen and offers similar content but focuses heavily on written articles and fewer videos.
    • MasterClass: Offers cooking classes from renowned chefs, providing a unique perspective and diverse culinary techniques.
    • New York Times Cooking: A subscription service that has a vast array of recipes and cooking tips, including meal planning.

    Ultimately, the best choice will depend on your cooking style, interests, and what you hope to get out of the subscription. If possible, consider trying out any free trials to see which interface and content resonate with you the most. Happy cooking!
