Here's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your favorite chef, culinary connoisseur, or anyone interested in food or media careers!

Cooking is an adventure and America's Test Kitchen (ATK) is everyone's guide. ATK has TV shows on PBS (America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country); magazines (Cooks Illustrated and Cook's Country); and other media - and they are all produced in downtown Boston. Emily Rahravan, a Digital Editor at ATK, will lead you and up to 3 friends or family members (4 total) on a tour of their Boston facility. The tour got rave reviews from last year's winner, and the winner of this item will receive 2 ATK cookbooks on the day of the tour.

America's Test Kitchen (ATK) helps curious cooks become confident cooks. It is a 15,000-square-foot test kitchen, with more than 60,000 feet of space for photography, videography and other media work. ATK is the workplace of more than 250 test cooks, producers, editors, food scientists, tasters, testers, reviewers, and more. Their mission is to test recipes over and over until they understand how and why the recipes work, and until they arrive at the "best" version, including suggested modifications for preferences such as the level of spiciness. Then, the experts share the learning through numerous media outlets to help everyone cook with confidence. The Kitchen also tests and shares information on hundreds of cookware pieces and supermarket ingredients every year.

The tour will be scheduled for a mutually agreed upon date for a weekday, non-filming time. Tour members need to adhere to current Covid testing procedures (if any at the time) and also be vaccinated and boosted.

Bid now to book this kitchen tour of a lifetime!

Tour must be completed by August 31, 2024.

Whether they are just down the street or in the next town, Chandra has continued to build mutually beneficial relationships and search out the best natural, fresh and sustainable ingredients from local small providers across New England in an effort to follow through on the mission first inspired by her family while sitting around the table as a child.

Here are the unique, gourmet stocking stuffers you need this year! This item is 10 of Goodnow's amazing, award winning chocolate bars (each a different kind) plus a bag of their cocoa mix.

To make excellent chocolate you need to start with excellent beans, and Tom and Monica at Goodnow Farms in Sudbury know how to find them. Tom and Monica travel throughout Latin America searching for the most flavorful beans, and have direct relationships with the farmers who grow and harvest them. By dealing directly with farmers, they are able to ensure they always receive the very best beans, which in many cases are fermented and dried to their custom specifications. This direct trade model also allows them to pay significantly more than commodity or Fair Trade prices, and ensure that farming practices are sustainable and labor practices are equitable.

The process is pure and the chocolate is exquisite - so be sure to keep at least one bar for yourself!
