About Cook’s Illustrated
Cook’s Illustrated, launched in 1993, is located just outside Boston where a team of more than three dozen test cooks, editors, and cookware specialists work in a 2,500-square-foot test kitchen. Our mission is to test recipes over and over again until we understand how and why they work and until we arrive at the “best” version of a particular recipe. The result, we hope, is the best version of a particular recipe, but we realize that only you can be the final judge of our success (or failure). As we like to say in the test kitchen, “We make the mistakes so you don’t have to.”
Along with developing recipes, our test kitchen team exhaustively tests kitchen equipment and does blind tastings of supermarket ingredients to tell home cooks which brands to buy…and which to avoid. More than one million Cook’s Illustrated readers rely on Cook’s Illustrated reviews to make smarter decisions about which cooking products and ingredient brands to buy.
Cook’s Illustrated recipes, testings, and tastings can be found in Cook’s Illustrated magazine and cookbooks, online at CooksIllustrated.com, or featured on our public television show, America’s Test Kitchen.

Cook's Illustrated Magazine Reviews
Still a digitally unfriendly company
I love their magazines.If I lived in the USA I would subscribe.
I tried their website and subscribed but cancelled because the website is hard to use and user unfriendly.
How happy was I to see an app for CI!? Very!
But, disappointing as usual and not done properly:
1. Only viewable in upright format. Well my iPad only props up horizontally and I use it a lot for cooking. Fail.
2. I bought the year subscription for 20 euros but you can only view the current magazine at that price, I.e. July/August 2022 Want to view May/June 2022? You have to pay 6.99! Same for each of this year’s other publications! What is the yearly subscription for then? You should at least be able to see the whole year. FAIL- subscription cancelled
3. Each magazine is just a scrollable, zoomable pdf. You cannot click on the recipes in the index and be taken to them. At least you can zoom.
4. Search is really bad! Really bad!
When this company hires a proper digital marketing person to make user friendly and good apps they will be successful. But not like this! I hope you listen CI!
Not what it used to be
I’ve been a subscriber to this app for 10 years now, and it’s not what it used to be. Where did all the interactive features go, the ones that you still tout in the app description, and on your website? During COVID, it changed to what is basically a PDF, and that was ok for back then, but it hasn’t changed back. And now, I, and others apparently, haven’t gotten the May-June 24 issue yet, and not a peep anywhere about it.
Cook’s illustrated magazine app just keeps going downhill.
The May/June issues not available on the app. I can get it on my library app for free. All the great features that disappeared with the pandemic have never returned. If you try for app support, it takes you to their site but there is no support. I have call and have been told numerous times it is Apple’s app, and they do not support it. I just so frustrating.
22
22 days and counting, still no May/June issue :-(
No latest issue
I’m not getting the May/June 2024 issue, and I know it’s out. Fortunately my renewal date is in a few days. So I’m not renewing. Shoddy management here. Disappointing.
Where's my most recent issue?
I love the magazine, but I have emailed about my most recent issue for May/June 2024 which isn't there, but no response. I know is out because it is on Apple News. I'm a paying subscriber! Why isn't the app updating?? I like to save my magazines to refer back to them. And yes, I have restored my previous purchases to make sure that there wasn't a glitch somewhere. I want my magazine or else I may as well unsubscribe.
Only got the first 2 issues of a 12 subscription.
Have this problem even after refreshing purchase. No response from customer service.
Not updating
My Cook’s Illustrated Magazine is not giving me the update to the May-June 2024 issue. Please fix this. I would also like the interactive features restored for app users. MG
Where is the current issue?
I have been a subscriber to Cooks Illustrated for decades, most recently this iPad version. The latest edition (May-June 2024) is available to me as an Apple News+ subscriber and has been since early in the month. However, your iPad app is still just offering me the March-April edition, on the 17th of the month. The new issues reliably appeared shortly after the first of the month they were expected. Why is the content available now on Apple News but not in the app? The interactive features disappeared with the pandemic (is working from home really preventing these features from being reinstated, or is it just cost savings?) and the release of the electronic version keeps getting delayed more with each issue. It is feeling like you really want to abandon this version of the magazine, it is an afterthought.
All Access doesn’t work
I bought the all access subscription for CI, ATK and CC. I downloaded the apps and was able to log into ATK. No luck with CI and CC. Called support and they said their apps do not work with Safari. I canceled my subscription as all I have is IOS and MacOS devices. If it doesn’t work with the native browser then why bother creating the app? My advice, don’t waste your time if the technology decisions do not allow it work properly.
