Product Description
Eight years ago, Alton Brown set out to create a cooking show for a new generation. The result was Good Eats, one of Food Networks most popular programs. Four years ago, Brown set out to write a cookbook for people who would rather understand their food than follow a recipe. A mix of cutting-edge graphics and a fresh take on preparing food, Im Just Here For the Food became one of the bestselling cookbooks of the yearand received the James Beard Foundation/KitchenAid Book Award as best reference book.
This year, to commemorate and celebrate this success story (more than 300,000 copies in print), STC is pleased to announce Im Just Here For the Food: Version 2.0.. This special edition features 15 brand-new recipes, 20 pages of additional material, and 4 removable refrigerator magnetsalong with everything that made the original a classic instruction manual for the kitchen. Each of the books 15 sections is a module on a given cooking methodfrom pan searing to pressure cooking, stewing to steamingwith a master recipe and a varied selection of recipes that epitomize the technique. The text is accented throughout with food facts, history and lore, and science.

 I'm Here For the Food Too October 7, 2008

I love Alton Brown and the way he shows the "science" of food. It is fun and you learn why things work or don't work. I got this for the Hubby and he loves it. It gets him into the kitchen and it's great.

I am a great fan of Alton Brown's and this book did not disappoint. It contains a lot of information about the cooking process and great recommendations on cooking utensils, equipment, other books, etc. It is a wonderful reference book!

In this book Alton Brown stays true to who he is on the show. Entertaining and very insightful. This is a great book for someone who loves food and the process of cooking. Especially for those who are interested in the why part of the how. Highly recommended.

Alton Brown is a genius. His forward in the book explains that a recipe is analogous to a set of directions to a house, but what if there's a detour? Or what if you want to go somewhere else after? You're stuck. But now, what if you knew the whole map of the area, not just rote directions. That's what Alton teaches. He organizes by chapters centered on methods of cooking, not types of food. He explains things in software (food) and hardware (pans, utensils, etc).
It's more of a science angle at food, and probably won't help expert cooks, but for someone like me it's great.
