Christopher Kimball is an aggressive, somewhat sleazy businessman. However,
his agreement with PBS is that he has to make available all recipes from the
current season at no charge to anyone who wants them. He makes it as
difficult as he can to get to those free recipes without responding to some
subscription "come on". Do not, do not, give them a credit card # unless
you're absolutely sure what you're buying. Having said all of this, we have
subscribed to Cooks Illustrated almost since its inception and like for it's
original ideas, new way to do the old stuff, etc. I don't subscribe to the
online edition, and I do get and print the show season recipes without
charge.
They do screw up sometimes. The recent "grilled pizza" is somewhat of an
example.
