Book Description
Alton Brown is a foodie phenomenon: a great cook, a very funny guy, and—underneath it all—a science geek who’s as interested in the chemistry of cooking as he is in eating. (Well, almost.) Here, finally, are the books that Brown’s legion of fans have been salivating for—two volumes that together will provide an unexpurgated record of his long-running, award-winning Food Network TV series, Good Eats.
From “Pork Fiction” (on baby back ribs), to “Citizen Cane” (on caramel sauce), to “Oat Cuisine” (on oatmeal), every hilarious episode is represented. Each book—the second will be published in fall 2010—is illustrated with behind-the-scenes photos taken on the Good Eats set. Each contains more than 140 recipes and more than 1,000 photographs and illustrations, along with explanations of techniques, lots of food-science information (of course!), and more food puns, food jokes, and food trivia than you can shake a wooden spoon at.
Good Eats: The Early Years Review
While I enjoy and use the previous releases, this companion book to the TV program will bring hours of leisurely enjoyment. Great detail is added to each episode covered from the first six seasons of Good Eats. This includes additional historical notes about the food covered, show shooting details, revisions to the recipes, and great trivia and insights into the man Alton. Any fan of Good Eats and especially owners of the episodes will find this book terrific complement.
Just arrived, earlier than expected. This is an excellent book, and the best Good Eats book I’ve seen yet (and I have ‘em all). High production value, slick and stylish design. The first 6 seasons are here, with every episode’s recipes. No more internet/Food Network hunts. Trivia is fun, and Alton’s tips and tidbits throughout are great. Looking forward to the next one. Seriously, this is a fantastic book, cookbook, and Good Eats schwag. Worth every penny. Go Alton, go!
This book contains recipes (called applications) with dry goods measured only by weight. He does not use standard measuring cups for flour, sugar, etc. In his previous cookbooks, although he gave weights as he preferred it, he always included standard measurements as well since all home cooks have measuring cups and spoons but most of us don’t have a food scale. Although I am throughly enjoying the cookbook since I love the show, I was highly disappointed that I had to go out and spend even more money to buy a food scale to be able to bake anything from the cookbook.
Great book with fast delivery. I bought four; one for my family and three to give as gifts. Highly recommend A.B.’s latest as well as purchasing from this bookseller.
