    We really appreciate the personal photos and bakcground info you share with us. That makes ATK all that more appealing and interesting! Thanks!

    Great photos! The salmon and Chinese Take-out box are my favorites. Looks like the next season is going to be even more entertaining!

    Do you receive guests at the taping site of ATK? Is there ever a promotional ‘tour’ where fans can actually visit the ‘kitchen’ and meet the regulars? We LOVE ATK! Also, enjoy the newsletter and Chirs’ wholesome-folksy writing and storytelling. Thanks for keeping it simple! Molly Belcher – Mt. Vernon, Kentucky.

    Thanks for the letter and great behind-the-scene photos. I’m always ridiculously excited to see your emails arrive. I read them out loud to my husband, which sparks conversations about our dream to live in Vermont one day.

    I enjoy your show but really like your letters from Vermont. I live in far north Idaho, 80 miles from Canada on 54 acres. It’s so much fun to hear how you love the life style in Vermont, it’s so close to my life here. I always forward your emails to my husband even though he isn’t interested in cooking he also enjoys reading you and Vermont. We have very snowy winters here and your receipts and tips are so much fun to hear about and try especially while I am home bound. We have about a 3 month growing season up here so recipes with fresh veges are very appreciated. Keep the letters coming…….

    Thanks for the photos – I just love ATK and Cook’s Country, the mags, the newsletters – everything! That photo of Miami Vice might be the funniest one yet. Looking forward to the new season.

    Love the pics! So nice to see some of the behind-the-scenes folks. Love the letters (and the recipes!).

    I really enjoy the show and watch it every Saturday. I love trying the recipes out in my own kitchen….lol…sometimes I’m not so successful…..lol. Unlike other cooking shows that I watch you use all the ingredients the recipes call for. I also like the eqiptment testing. I purchased several items that were recommended on the show. Alright, I just like everything about the show and the web site.

    I love The pictures , the fashionable outfits that Kris was wearing, plus it gives us insight into what happens behinds those cameras. I just ordered Cooks Country Mag. and I’m looking forward to my first issue. Cool moon photo too =)

    Love your show! The periodic letters are great … and the pictures … well … I must admit, my favorite is Miami Vice … you look a bit like James Woods in that one! Keep up the good work! You all seem like you have such a good time!

  • kj.bedford

    Thank you so much for wonderful interesting shows. My husband was the cook in the family and he got so much joy from watching. He died last year and I continue to watch and am trying to relearn my cooking skills from 43 years ago. You are truly a joy and a blessing. Love the costumes. Love the tool tests you do. Love the ladies. Harold always enjoyed your online newsletter and the farm stories as well as the show. We (I) live in my grandparents 1896 farm house in Virginia after spending 20 plus years in N. Michigan – both locations similar in different ways to your location. Again – thank you so much.

    I really enjoy your Letters from Vermont! I live in Arizona now,
    grew up in MO and lived in NJ for 15 years before moving here.
    Your letters give me a sense of winter with snow again. Keep them coming. i also like watching America’s Test Kitchen. The
    pictures are great too. THANKS.

    This is the one cooking show that it pains me deeply to miss. It’s informative, educational, personal, and the recipes are the best! It’s those quirky personalities, though, that give the show its spunk! I love all of your peeps, and want to take them as my family! Thank you for years of good advice and great entertainment!

  • valliere

    Enjoyed the photos. It’s always fun when a favorite person does not take themself seriously. Thanks Christopher for being so playful.
