Dan Souza, editor-in-chief of Cook’s Illustrated, is the only person who would research and catalog the six different ways of eating corn on the cob, or attend ice cream college just so he could create the ultimate at-home recipe. Dan is an on-screen test cook and science expert for America’s Test Kitchen and the host of the popular YouTube series What's Eating Dan? He has contributed content to a dozen America’s Test Kitchen cookbooks, including the New York Times best-seller The Science of Good Cooking (2012) and Cook’s Science (2016). Dan cut his culinary teeth as an apprentice in Hungary before graduating first in his class from the Culinary Institute of America. However, after cooking in restaurants in New York City and Boston he found his true calling: helping people make great food at home.
