Good Eats: The Early Years

Product Details

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.

If you are an Alton Brown junkie . . . - William R. Carr - Alvin, TX USA
If you are a Food Network's "Good Eats" junkie, this book is for you. There is much anecdotal information about the crew and behind-the-scenes moments, as well as just plain "good eats". A very good book. I especially like the chapters on eggs, and the jab Mr. Brown makes at the regulatory goverment agency responsible for telling the public not to eat raw eggs, and the reasons he gives. Makes one think.
