Book Reviews of Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen
Book Review: The Honed Kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent information on kitchen gear. I've purchased some of the poorer, useless gear in the past and Mr. Brown is correct about why it's useless. I've also purchased some of the gear that he's suggested and he's correct about why it works so well. I'm a nurse by profession and he's correct about germs, cleanliness, gloves and handwashing. The reference material is great, the humor is welcome and his reasoning is clear and concise. Mr. Brown thinks outside the box in the kitchen, something nurses have to do in their work, and he has a fine, agile mind. A very enjoyable informative book indeed; I recommend it highly.Book Review: Great help for the registering bride!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a huge fan of Alton's show and an pretty good amateur chef if I do say so myself. I've decided to hold off on buying any cooking supplies recently since I am getting married in May and can register for most of what I want. Alton's book has been a great companion in helping me decide what I'll need. I made a list of everything I want based on his recommendations and, armed with my trusty registry gun, can register for everything without getting overwhelmed by all the other options in the store. I really feel confident that I'm going to get great stuff, now all I have to do is wait for it...AAHHHH!Book Review: Love it love it loveit!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an Alton fan- he made cooking fun, the stuff comes out better, and this book on Stuff to Buy is really well done. Yeah, groan- but it is.
I lost my stuff in Katrina New Orleans- so this was actually a nifty guide for a new kitchen. And new ideas for me. He's actually pretty honest in this book about what works and what doesn't, as well as interesting uses for stuff from the hardware store. It's about creative multitasking and a lean kitchen.
The stuff on the show now is all about The Deal- but the book is about saving money and when to cheap out. I'm really pleased with it.
Book Review: A God
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say, except for Alton Brown is a Food God. Alton allows you to take a look at what you should own in your kitchen, regardless of all the shiny toys and one-hit-wonder implements out there today. He lays it all out, letting you know what you should have and why you should have it. Using this book makes your life easier if you're either an amatuer or semi-pro like myself because it allows you to buy stuff you actually end up using in your kitchen, instead of that double boiler that sits in the corner gathering dust.Book Review: Helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
I have just discovered Alton Brown on the Food Network Show titled Good Eats. The book gives detailed information on the whys and wherefores of pots, pans, utensils, and much more. I have purchased as much as I could at the moment (smaller things) but look forward to the time I can buy pots, pans, and knives. The stainless steel items that have arrived are far superior to the plastic measuring cups and spoons, etc. that I had before. I move forward into the cooking world with gusto! Thanks, Alton. A recommended book.
