Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Christmas present
I gave this book to my son-in-law for xmas, it was on his wish list so how can you go wrong. He was thrilled, & no returns.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - This book is a waist of space
This book is a waist of space

I am a big fan of Alton Brown. I have seen every show I can and learned a lot about the science of food and cooking. I have his book on how to arrange a kitchen and he gives very good advice. This book was an incredible disappointment. One of my problems is that it does not have much useful information in it. For best thing about this book is how to brine shrimp. We tried the chicken brine with freshly juiced oranges and we gave it -1 star out of 5. This is not a cookbook. I will never take this book off my cookbook shelf; it was a wedding gift from my wife.

This book is waist of bookshelf space. Watch the shows you will get higher density of information. And yes his shows are 17 minuets of fun and 5 minuets of information.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great
i love this book, it is broken up by cooking methods (i.e. boiling, roasting, etc.) and each is explained. the best part are the magnets that come in it...you see!
