What is Reddit's opinion of The New Family Cookbook?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The America's Test Kitchen New Family Cookbook has perfected recipes for everything in the book and runs the gamut from as basic as a grilled cheese sandwich to full multi-course formal sitdown meals. The format is cook-friendly too since it lies flat.

This book is so great that I have started buying it as a housewarming gift for people just starting out on their own. It includes everything you need to know but might think it's a dumb question and too afraid to ask.

I always recommend this book to people starting out. My boss got it for me for my birthday in 2011 and it's changed the way I cook--people ride on Alton Brown's dick for being science based cooking but these guys do the same science-based recipe thing but they do it a million times better because it's more results-oriented rather than process oriented (AB loves his "hacks" too much). Their recommended products are a godsend if you're trying to build a kitchen. I also have their Science of Cooking book, their Meat Book, their Slow Cooker book and their TV show cookbook.
