The Milk Street series is Christopher Kimball’s post-America’s Test Kitchen cookbook line, launched in 2018 with Tuesday Nights. Each volume focuses on a different theme or cuisine, from Mediterranean cooking to vegetable-forward dishes to noodles from around the world. The recipes are designed for home cooks and emphasize bold flavors with straightforward techniques.

What sets the Milk Street books apart from Kimball’s earlier work is their international scope. Rather than perfecting classic American recipes, these cookbooks draw on cooking traditions from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and beyond. The result is a library that keeps growing, with twelve titles published through 2025, each one offering a fresh angle on everyday cooking.
