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.

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.
