You can never go wrong with any of Ina’s recipes:D

Thanks for the comparison, Annie. I’ve made the CI brownies several times and really liked them. If you say Ina’s are better, though, I will definitely give them a whirl.

Although I enjoyed the Cook’s Illustrated brownies, I agree with you that Ina’s brownies kick butt! It’s hard to beat the Barefoot Contessa

I don’t think there’s anything that brings more smiles to peoples’ faces than good brownies. I have yet to find an “Ina” recipe I didn’t like.

I make Ina’s brownies all the time; they’re consistently delicious. I also had looked at making the CI brownies, but like Chelle I think I’ll leave them alone and stick with Ina’s.

I’ve made both, and agree, Ina’s are better! I made her brownies with oreo chunks in them, and they were to die for!

Awesome idea. I love Ina’s brownies and haven’t found a recipe I like more. I do have the CI ones bookmarked but after your review I think I’ll probably skip them. You can even tell from the picture that they are more cakey and don’t look as chocolatey.

That’s great to know! I’ll have to make this recipe next time I get a request for brownies from DH!
