More About This Book

Overview

Eight years ago, Alton Brown set out to create a cooking show for a new generation. The result was Good Eats, one of Food Network's 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, I'm Just Here For the Food became one of the bestselling cookbooks of the year-and 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 I'm 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 magnets-along with everything that made the original a classic instruction manual for the kitchen. Each of the book's 15 sections is a module on a given cooking method-from pan searing to pressure cooking, stewing to steaming-with 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.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
To create this "director's cut," Food Network star Alton Brown borrowed a popular filmmaker's DVD prerogative to amend his James Beard Book Award-winning I'm Just Here for the Food. This cookbook reprise features ten new recipes, 20 pages of new material, and a dust jacket that unfolds into a wall poster. A fresh take on a pop cookbook classic.

    A Must-Have for the Kitchen Library

    I recently received this book as a Christmas gift from my fiancee'. I will definitely marry the girl now. As a scientist who is interested in cooking, this book is a joy; as a non-scientist who enjoys cooking, my fiancee' finds it fascinating and informative. Alton Brown has written here a cookbook unlike any other you've likely to have read. It's not just a collection of recipes (although there are about 90 great recipes inside); it's culinary science 101. It's literally a culinary class in your kitchen. To understand how, why, and when to cook, you gain insight into the PROCESS of cooking, not just going through the motions as is the case when you just follow recipes. Anyone who wants to know what to do when you look in the fridge and are trying to decide what to do with what you have in there for dinner needs this book. This book inspires creativity by providing its reader with a deeper understanding of the kitchen. It's a must have for any kitchen library.

    Great Book

    Alton Brown consistently produces great cooking techniques and recipes. His love for the hardware store is clearly demonstrated in some of these techniques. The how and why behind these techniques is written in clear terms (for us non-chefs)and the step by step is easy to understand.The only drawback to this electronic book is the fact that some of the illustrations are more than just expansions of the text. They are sometimes the recipe or cooking technique itself and the electronic format of this book is not perfect. Some of the pages show themselves as pages that are "snap shots", which are not expandable and sometimes cannot be read. I read a review prior to purchase that also talked on this point but purchased the book anyway. Great book, great author but with some reservations about the electronic formatting of this edition. Would still recommend.

    Lacks visuals

    I love Alton Brown, and I love Good Eats, and I love this book. The only thing it lacks, are good illustrations, demonstating how to perform the tasks in the book. Nonetheless, I'm still a fan, and I would reccomend this book to anyone wanting learn the science behind cooking, not just performing a recipe.

    Love the book, not the print

    I am reading this book on my nook tablet. Let me preface my comment with the fact that I love Alton Brown and I am enjoying this book. That said, some pages are regular nook text and other pages look like pdf's from the actual book ( I'm not certain of this, that's just how it looks on the nook screen). At any rate, these "pdf" style pages are too small to read and the text size cannot be changed by the usual method on the nook. I find this very annoying and I wish the entire book would be in the regular nook text... Other than this technical issue, it's a great book so far.

    Book review

    Alton Browns book "I'm just here for the food" elevates cooking to new levels for those of us who are used to open book measurement,ingredient instruction. A background based on science provides those of us that are novices a clear understanding of why we fail or succeed in our efforts to satisfy our palate. It is extremely gratifying to prepare a fine meal for myself and my family using guidance found in this book. It has also made the purchase of quality groceries easier,and more affordable. My thanks go out to Alton for a job well done.

    Not just the 'how,' but also the 'why'

    This is not just a cookbook with recipes and directions, but it is also packed with the theory of cooking: why one should briase instead of roast, the finer points of grilling and smoking food, and a lot of information about specific foods as well. You won't find haute cuisine here, but your knowledge base about cooking in general, and good food in particular, will become much broader.
