Good Eats (Text-Only Edition)

Alton Brown, James Beard Award–winning author and host of the Peabody Award–winning Food Network show Good Eats, presents a behind-the-scenes look at the show and offers an incredible variety of recipes in Good Eats: The Early Years.

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, is the book that Brown’s legion of fans have been salivating for—a volume providing an unexpurgated record of his long-running TV series.

Recipes include:

• Good Eats Roast Turkey
• Country Ham Resurrected
• Salmon Turnovers
• Butternut Dumplings with Brown Butter and Sage
• Cocoa Brownies

From “Pork Fiction” (on baby back ribs) to “Citizen Cane” (on caramel sauce) to “Oat Cuisine” (on oatmeal), every hilarious episode is represented. Illustrated with behind-the-scenes photos taken on the Good Eats set, this book features more than 140 recipes 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.
