A cookbook unlike many others in that it doesn't just tell you how to cook but why. Plus it's funny. Alton Brown is the Bill Nye of the cooking world. ( ) Anyone with more than a passing interest in cooking will likely enjoy this book. It's one of the few cookbooks designed to be read, not just thumbed through. It's really not even a cookbook. There are 90 recipes, but those are there primarily to illustrate his point about the science of cooking and to use as practice for specific techniques. The design is appealing and more like a magazine with clever illustrations and interesting asides. Who knew that Kingsford Charcoal was started by an executive at Ford Motor Company who went camping with Henry Ford and who also had lots of scrap chipwood left over at the plant? I certainly didn't. Intriguing anecdotes like these that are paired with very helpful discussions about the science of cooking make this a fantastic read for anyone who hasn't gone to culinary school. Highly recommended. I checked this book out of the library because I'm a fan of Alton Brown's tv show, Good Eats. The science aspect of cooking is interesting, and I've learned more than one useful culinary technique by watching. This cookbook is laid out much the same way; lots of easy to understand, jargon free science, great ideas and simple recipes. If you're an intermediate or advanced cook, the recipes themselves might not appeal much to you, but everyone, regardless of cooking background, can appreciate and use the tips and hints he gives throughout. Written in a conversational, easy-going manner, this book was great for reading. I love Alton Brown, his shows on Food Network are great so to no surprise this cookbook is great too. I have tried some of the recipes listed and was very pleased with the results. I enjoy his straightforward approach to explaining the science behind cooking methods. I also like that he has taken cooking methods and experimented with them until he can present the best method available for each technique. Most of all ... his recipes dont call for any particularly fancy tools or ingredients in order to make them! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
