"A former publisher and marketer, Kimball founded "Cook's Illustrated" food magazine in 1993, a new version of a previous one he had started in 1980, and launched the "America's Test Kitchen" TV show in 2001. Powered by Kimball's own dedication to exploring problems piece by piece, "Cook's Illustrated" and "America's Test Kitchen" pioneered a testing and science-based approach to home cooking that revolutionized the industry and became wildly popular in the process."
"Like any battle the controversy has two sides, but it came down to what Kimball did after he left America's Test Kitchen, or in his telling, was forced out. One year later he launched a new venture called Milk Street, another food publication and cooking school, with some former coworkers from ATK. That sounds pretty normal, and Kimball has always contended it was, but America's Test Kitchen ended up suing its old founder only two weeks after the first magazine came out."
Christopher Kimball founded Cook's Illustrated in 1993 and launched America's Test Kitchen in 2001, serving as the brand's on-screen face and company leader. The brands pioneered a methodical, science-based approach to testing recipes that reshaped home cooking and launched notable culinary figures. Kimball departed America's Test Kitchen in 2015 amid a contract dispute and claims of being sidelined after a new executive hire. In 2016 Kimball launched Milk Street, a rival food publication and cooking school staffed by some former ATK coworkers, which prompted America's Test Kitchen to sue shortly after Milk Street's first magazine release.
