Golden obsession fuels Cook's Illustrated empire growth
Philadelphia to Weston connect stories of Christopher Kimball who built a publishing empire around Cook's Illustrated and America's Test Kitchen. From a $110000 startup in 1979 to a multi-platform venture with TV, web sites, books, and a new ad-free magazine Cook's Country, Kimball leads Boston Common Press through rapid expansion, staff growth, and a relentless focus on rigorous, defensible recipe testing while defending his leadership style and philosophy of collaboration.
