Download Now"Every recipe from the hit TV show along with product ratings" That's what it says on the front of the dust cover, and that's why I bought the book. I wanted to make one specific recipe: "Linzertorte". This recipe was covered in Episode 4 of Season 20, together with a recipe for Belgian Spice Cookies. And while the latter made it into the book, the former is conspicuously missing. If you check the index, it goes from "linguine" straight to "lobster". Other possible keywords "tart", "Torte", "raspberry", also fail to find the recipe. It's not in there, despite the publisher's lofty claims. "Includes the 2022 Season" That's what it says across the top of the dust cover. May that as it be. Hard for me to tell whether this claim is true, as the season hasn't finished yet. But what good does that do me, when a two-year-old recipe has already been culled from the book? The recipe that I was looking for originally aired January 25th, 2020. "Scan for FREE digital access to Season 22 recipes, ratings, videos, and insider tips" That's what it says on the inside of the dust cover. And sure enough, there is a QR code that you can scan if you feel so inclined. Only, instead of taking you to exclusive content that you purchased with the book, it rather takes to the main website of America's Test Kitchen -- where you are then asked to buy a subscription to gain access. To add insult to injury, the video for this recipe has been posted for free on the ATK website, right above advertisement for this very book. Just how blatantly can you be about deceiving your clients. I am happy to pay for the convenience of printed recipes, but if you take my money, at least keep up your end of the bargain. Amazon should require the seller to update the product description: "Contains a selected list of past and some future recipes." As is, the book is defective, disappointing, and misleading. I generally like America's Test Kitchen and their recipes, but they make it way too difficult to get what you pay for.
