Good Eats - by Alton Brown (Hardcover)

About the Book

Foodie phenomenon Brown is 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. This edition provides an unexpurgated record of his long-running, award-winning Food Network TV series, "Good Eats."

Book Synopsis

Good Eats 2: The Middle Years showcases everything Alton Brown fans (and they are legion!) have ever wanted to know about his award-winning Food Network television show, featuring behind-the-scenes photographs and trivia, science-of-food information, cooking tips, and--of course--recipes.

Alton Brown's particular genius lies in teaching the chemistry of cooking with levity and exuberance. In episodes such as "Fit to Be Tied" (meat roulades), "Crustacean Nation" (crab), and "Ill-Gotten Grains" (wheat products), Brown explains everything from how to make the perfect omelet to how to stuff your own sausages. With hundreds of entertaining photographs, along with Brown's inimitable line drawings and signature witty writing, this comprehensive companion book conveys the same wildly creative spirit as the show itself.
