Education and career

Kimball was born and raised in Westchester County, New York. He graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy and then Columbia University (1973) with a degree in Primitive Art.[2][1] After graduating from Columbia, he went to work with his stepbrother in a publishing company. Soon after, he worked for The Center for Direct Marketing in Westport, Connecticut and also started taking cooking courses.[1] After securing $100,000 in angel investments from friends and family, he started Cook’s Magazine from a tiny office in Weston, Connecticut in 1980 when he was 29 years old.[1] He sold the magazine to the Bonnier Group in 1989 and moved on to other publishing ventures. In 1993, he launched Cook's Illustrated magazine.[1]

Kimball is the founder, editor, and publisher of Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country magazines, and former publisher of the now defunct Cook's Magazine. He is the author of The Cook's Bible, The Yellow Farmhouse Cookbook, Dear Charlie, The Dessert Bible and Fannie's Last Supper, and is a columnist for the New York Daily News and the Boston-based Tab Communications.

Kimball also hosts the syndicated PBS cooking shows America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country from America's Test Kitchen. Other television appearances include This Old House and the morning shows Weekend Today and The Early Show.

He is a regular contributor on National Public Radio.

On January 8, 2011, Kimball began hosting WGBH-FM's America's Test Kitchen Radio in Boston.

He lives in the South End neighborhood of Boston and in southwestern Vermont, with his wife, Adrienne, and their four children.[1][3]
