First, put on that apron and head into the kitchen for America’s Test Kitchen Celebrates 25 Years. Join us in celebrating a quarter-century of rigorously tested recipes, unflinching reviews, and thousands of scientifically tested kitchen tips and tricks.

Then sit back with your culinary delights from ATK and enjoy André Rieu: Power of Love—a new special from our favorite conductor—at 3:30 p.m.

Finally, discover the life of another music man: Lawrence Welk: A North Dakota Farm Boy at 5:30 p.m. This documentary follows the life of this country boy from dance halls across the Midwest to his own TV show in Los Angeles.
