The creator and host of Food Network’s Good Eats updates his award-winning primer on essential cooking techniques—now with fifteen new recipes!
First published in 2002, Alton Brown’s I'm Just Here For the Food received the James Beard Foundation/KitchenAid Book Award for best reference book. This revised and updated edition features fifteen brand-new recipes, along with everything that made the original a classic kitchen instruction manual.
Each of the book’s fifteen sections is a mini-master class on a given cooking method—from pan searing to pressure cooking, stewing, steaming, and more. And each includes a "master" recipe that epitomizes the technique along with a selection of recipes that demonstrate its range. Plus Brown shares a plethora of fascinating food facts, history, lore, and science.

      Starred review from April 15, 2002
      Known as the successful host of Good Eats
      currently airing on the Food Network Channel, Alton Brown brings an MTV style to food and cooking. He applies his winning formula of pop culture combined with history, science and common sense to his first cookbook. He offers his formula of food preparation ("food + heat = cooking"), explaining each process and food element in quirky sound bites. Starting with searing and taking in grilling, water and eggs among other elements, he uses diagrams, captions, sidebars and footnotes. Each module has a master recipe that applies the tactic explained to a dish and is followed by several others to emphasize the lesson. He carefully integrates his recipe to produce a comprehensive repertoire, whether it's Skirt Steak: The Master Recipe, Chicken Piccata or Lamb "Pot Roast." Despite its unconventional style, this is a solid volume presented in a lively, fun manner guaranteed to put cooking in the reach of just about anyone: Alton Brown + Cook = Success. (May)Forecast:This has the Food Network success to back it up, and its modern feel and hip approach will attract younger cooks. Brown's 15-city tour should draw attention.
