Book Reviews of I'm Just Here for the Food: Version 2.0
Book Review: Great reference for both "normal" and geeky cooks
Summary: 5 Stars
Alton Brown delivers on a solid, fact-tacular tome of cooking including recipes, science and tons of reference material. This "Director's Cut" is exactly that--an enhancement of the first edition of the same cookbook.
Get this book if you are interested in not only how to cook well, but why we do the things we do for different preparations.
And, on a professional note, the information display and graphics in this book are pretty awesome.
Book Review: You can't go wrong with Alton!
Summary: 5 Stars
Alton Brown is great no matter what medium. Television or books or whatever. This cookbook is no exception. I got it for my husband because he loves to watch "Good Eats" and is always trying out Alton's recipes. He got it for Christmas and has already done quite a few recipes from it. He loves it! It's easy to follow and has a lot of fun, scientific information along with it. He says it's the best cookbook we'll ever have and the last one we'll ever need. :)Book Review: Learn something new every day
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm Just Here for the Food is about the most informative book I've ever seen, or could imagine. Why does one braise one cut of beef and roast another? Alton lays it all out, as well as provides the building blocks for creating your own recipes, as well as some sample recipes. One thing I learned is not to crowd the pan when trying to carmelize something, cause if there's no room, the food is going to steam more than brown. If at all possible, get this book.Book Review: I'm just Here for the Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm Just Here for the Food is the most informative cooking book I have ever touched. It isn't a normal cooking book as it doesn't go from cover to cover with recipes. It empowers the home cook with the knowledge and ability to cook with a new sense of fun and intrigue.
It is great for fans of his show, Good Eats , which is on the food network.
Learn how to sear, grill, boil, and otherwise properly cook your food.
Book Review: awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is everything I hoped it would be. As he says in his first pages, the is not a recipe book in the traditional sense of the word. Instead its a recipe guide to how we got to our ultimate goal, great food. Chapter by chapter he does a great job explaining different cooking techniques and why they work the way they do. I strongly recommend this book for readers who not only want to make great dishes, but also WHY they are great.
