I'm Just Here for the Food: Version 2.0

by Alton Brown

Overview

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.

About the Author

Alton Brown was directing TV commercials when he got the crazy idea to go to culinary school and reinvent the food show. The result: Good Eats, which has kept Brown gainfully employed for more than 20 years and earned him a Peabody Award. Along the way he also hosted Iron Chef America, Cutthroat Kitchen, and Feasting on Asphalt. Brown’s live culinary variety shows have played to sold-out theaters across the United States. He lives in Marietta, Georgia.

Editorial Reviews

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.
