Good Eats

Alton Brown, James Beard Award–winning author and host of the Peabody Award–winning 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.

Here 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. From “Pork Fiction” (on baby back ribs) to “Citizen Cane” (on caramel sauce) to “Oat Cuisine” (on oatmeal), hilarious episodes from the show are represented.

Illustrated with behind-the-scenes color 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.
 
Recipes include:

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

 
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.) Fans new and old have embraced his Good Eats cookbooks.
