America's Test Kitchen: The Complete Summer Cookbook

Happy days - Seattle's short summer is here! Sounds like a good time to enjoy a meal in the backyard with America's Test Kitchen and a favorite summer cookbook. Since its days in Cooks Illustrated to filming on PBS, almost every one of us has looked to ATK for tested cooking methods, cooking equipment reviews or learning about regional dishes you have never heard of and the stories behind them.

ATK The Complete Summer Cookbook is packed with summer recipes. There are also tons of recipes available through PBS. The book is available from the Seattle and King County library system as well. Also, you can look forward to America's Test Kitchen Pub quiz for "fabulous" food based prizes!

This is backyard event, but can move indoors if the weather decides otherwise. Please bring items ready to serve, but there will be stove and microwave access if needed. All plates, silverware and glasses will be provided, but bring any of your own if you wish. I have a limited number of serving utensils to use, so try to bring serving utensils for your dish - and remember to take them home. Feel free to bring a beverage to share, alcoholic or non-alcoholic.

Closer to the event I will send out an exact location, along with parking information.
Please only RSVP if you're committed to coming. Update your RSVP if plans change to let someone from the waitlist take your spot. Of course, if you are not feeling well, please stay home.
Choose a dish from the book or online and post it in the comments. One dish per person; bring two if you have a +1.
Ensure your Meetup settings allow messages and event updates from organizers. Check spam/social folders if you don't receive emails. This is to ensure you get any updates and receive the exact location closer to the date.

And don’t forget - bring a few dollars if possible to help cover the Meetup fees for hosting this group ($300+/year), Venmo (@katy-ionis), PayPal, or Zelle equally appreciated.
