Alton Brown is a foodie phenomenon: a great cook, a very funny guy, andโunderneath it allโa science geek whoโs as interested in the chemistry of cooking as he is in eating. (Well, almost.) Here, finally, are the books that Brownโs legion of fans have been salivating forโtwo volumes that together will provide an unexpurgated record of his long-running, award-winning Food Network TV series, Good Eats.ย
ย
From โPork Fictionโ (on baby back ribs), to โCitizen Caneโ (on caramel sauce), to โOat Cuisineโ (on oatmeal), every hilarious episode is represented. Each bookโthe second will be published in fall 2010โis illustrated with behind-the-scenes photos taken on the Good Eats set. Each contains more than 140 recipes andย more thanย 1,000 photographs and illustrations, 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.
