About America's Test Kitchen
America’s Test Kitchen, airing on NPT-Channel 8 on Saturdays at noon, is the most-watched cooking show on public television—nearly two million viewers tune in each week. The show is filmed in the test kitchen of Cook’s Illustrated magazine, located just outside Boston. Each episode features recipes carefully developed to make sure they work every time. Christopher Kimball and the test cooks solve everyday cooking problems, test equipment so you never have to waste money on gadgets that don’t work, and taste supermarket ingredients to save you time at the store. It’s a common-sense, practical approach that you won’t find on other cooking shows. About Nashville Farmers' Market
