If you're not familiar with America's Test Kitchen/the makers of Cook's Illustrated, they're phenomenal. Cooking is a precise science to these guys and every variable within a recipe is challenged in order to create the "Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie" or the "Best Way to Fry Chicken" etc...
Then there is Food52, a blogging community of home-based cooks and bakers who challenge recipes for the love of the craft. Both methods over the years have provided outstanding recipes, whether it's tested to perfection first and then distributed (America's Test Kitchen) or it's an amateur cook distributing an okay recipe, and then the bloggers of the world test it, critique it and a great recipe is developed over time (Food52).
So why does all of this matter? Well... Slate has set up a competition between the two sites to see who has the best recipe for (1) a sugar cookie (2) a pork shoulder. Check out the recipes here and decide for yourself!
Recipe critiques are due May 17th (tomorrow) so give one a try and tell the world what method you feel is best. Enjoy ~ Jill
