What do I love about this book? It answers questions that most cooks want to know. I read a lot of reviews on this book so I was excited about getting it and I wasn't disappointed. If you are like me I want to cook something that I can take credit for but without knowing how eggs react to milk, flour or anything I might get results Im not wanting. By knowing how things need to go together and what kind of heat I need and even down to using the right container well, now I'm equipped with the right info to try and create what I'm wanting to. Thanks Alton for giving me the right ammo to at least give it a good ole southern try!
This book is, as expected, written in Alton's nerdy style. The book itself does not disappoint - but the color pictures are terrible. They look out of focus and off color. I thought for sure it must have been printed in China, but it says printed in the USA. The poor picture quality makes it very difficult to distinguish detail in the photos. If what you really want is Alton's recipes, you're better off just downloading them from the Food TV site. The book is really more of a collector/fan item than a useful cookbook.
Excellent recipes and direction for cooking. Alton Brown is very clever and amusing as always!

If you're looking for an ordinary cook book, this may not be for you. However, if you are a fan of the show, this is great. This book gives you recipes from the show, and fun facts, and extra's about the dishes and ingredients. This is the perfect gift for anybody that is a fan of the show. With 140+ recipes, you may think it isnt much, but this book is395 pages including the index. I love this book already, the illustrations and tips make it a very easy cook book to follow!!!!! Excellent!!!
