Are you a fan of Bridget Lancaster on "America's Test Kitchen?"

[maryobrien]

One of most favourite segment was the sticky toffee buns with the two. Bridget was absolutely hilarious with Julia being a perfect foil.

[cookbookgirl]

It's Bridget's humour that really sets her apart. She's one of the few media people I'd love to have coffee with.

[melaneymattson]

I think Lancaster has been the best thing that ever happened to ATK!!!!

[OriginalCaliKitty]

I've loved Bridget's sassy humor for years. (She could deftly handle Chris' grumps and snark.) She's always been my favorite person on ATK and Cook's Country.

[vannshuttleworth]

Bridget Lancaster is so charismatic, so charming, so intuitive. She is always listening, and lets others shine. She might be a different person off camera, but Bridget seems like she would walk up to you and start a conversation ("...my new book is over there...")

[HazelHammond]

I have always loved watching both of them. I'm glad that Head office didn't look outside of the company. and Realized Lancaster is a gem and they had better keep her.

[patriciamcrae]

I love Bridget. I enjoy watching her on America's test kitchen and Cook's country too.

[phylisparsons]

I just love both of these ladies and so enjoy their segments.

I love ATK and Cook's Country for it's easy to understand food prep and humorous crew of chefs. Bridget and Julia have become such a wonderful matched set over the years that it is impossible to imagine those shows without them. Thanks for the great video!

[cynthiasbyrd]

Love ATK, she makes me laugh every time! She knows her stuff and I’ve never seen any hesitation from her and Julia. I watch them everyday, outstanding

[DoulosG]

I wish Bridget the best. I love all the shows and the entire cast. I have the big book and have learned a lot. Thank you!❤

[Christopherhlee]

I love the Bridget/Julia era of ATK. They’re so cute with each other. 🥰🥰🥰

[richardmitchell]

Bridget has always been my favorite, she seems so happy and down to earth. You can tell all of her coworkers love working with her.

At first when I started watching, I thought BL was a bit too tough in her demeanor, especially when Chris Kimball challenged her on some points of the recipes. Then, I realized that she had a totally fine sense of humor and wasn’t afraid to use it. As I followed the show week after week, I realized she and the other members were the best parts of the shows. When Kimball left to do Cook’s Country, I knew that BL and the rest of the cast would go on to make ATK one of the best cooking shows on PBS. That’s precisely what happened too. And then when Cook’s Country came to join the other show, I thought that everybody was willing to work together. Then Kimball raised that snooty attitude again and it wasn’t long before the rest of the cast was feeling like they were being walked on. That image evidently was seen by the higher ups in charge and they soon took care of the issue. The moral here folks is if you’re going to work together, then you can’t let a dominant personality take over because it will become his show. But fortunately for us as an audience, we got to save two cooking shows that are truly inspiring and that will help us become better at cooking from simple stuff to more complex meals that would make us feel defeated if we didn’t have help. So thanks Bridget, Julia, Jack and everyone else for all your help in making better cooks out of us all.

[scottbegg]

Love her! Love Julia! Love the shows!

[L.Scott_Music]

I really like these two and hope ATK never changes the line up (or at least for a very long time.)

[normanwyatt]

I'M a big fan of AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN ever since it debuted on P. B. S. Julia Child got me interested in cooking by the casual
approach she took in preparing meals that everybody wanted to make at home. BRIDGET and JULIA add a nice light touch to the
program as well as all the other cooks on the show. I maybe going on 90 next year, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't keep my
Interest in preparing my own meals. Chow everyone and Bon Appetite.

[susanmarino]

Bridget and Julia are great together. They didn’t need CK at all. The other staff on ATK are all very good and come across as super relatable. Carry on ATK!

[dennisprah]

In my eyes she is still as gorgeous as ever !
