Rating: - Good Eats, literary style
If you are a fan of his TV show, Good Eats, you will find this book very informative. I loved reading it! He writes like he speaks. He doesn't dumb down the information, but he makes sure that you understand the importance of why you should cook food a certain way to get the best possible result.
Rating: - Exactly what you think.
This is exactly what one would expect from alton, it's his show in book form.
Rating: - Understanding how it works, not just recipes
I love this book. This is not a typical cookbook. This book teaches you the principles of successful cooking. Rather than hashing out ingredient lists and blind processes to follow, Alton Brown actually explains why you sometimes use Baking Powder Vs. Baking Soda, why you should leave batter lumpy or mix it to death, and how higher heat doesn't always mean faster cooking - especially with success.
In some ways, this is a geek book. If you love cooking and want to know why, then this is the PERFECT book for you.
