In return, a loyal fan base continues to grow alongside the ever-evolving brand. First established in 1992 as a print publication, Cooks Illustrated, America's Test Kitchen amplified its reach with the launch of its eponymous public television cooking show in 2001, and followed up with yet another magazine in 2005 and television show in 2008, both called Cook's Country. 

Today, America's Test Kitchen continues to produce high-quality cooking content that inspires confidence and creativity for millions in kitchens across the country. As the leading multimedia cooking resource, ATK features three television shows, multiple cookbooks per year, two award-winning magazine titles, highly trafficked YouTube and social media channels, a popular podcast, and an All-Access Digital subscription product featuring the most rigorously tested recipes and equipment reviews in the business. Twenty-five years in, America's Test Kitchen continues to experiment, testing new investments, new approaches, and certainly new recipes, even as it adheres to the foundational principles that underpin its enduring success.
