One day, back in the summer of 1992, I decided I wanted to make a television food show. I wasn't going to let the fact that I was little more than a hobbyist get in the way. The odyssey that followed became the program "Good Eats," which has managed to hold its own on the Food Network for over a decade. (It even won a Peabody Award, which is a pretty big deal.)
Good Eats: The Early Years is an encyclopedic work encompassing the show's first 80 episodes, from "Steak Your Claim" to "Casserole Over." Each show has its very own chapter, complete with remastered recipes, behind-the-scenes photos and lore, stunningly sophomoric illustrations, poetic narrative, and plenty of useful facts cleverly packaged in the form of knowledge concentrates (patent pending). We've even included bonus recipes that we've been selfishly hoarding over the years. Best of all, we've addressed a few nagging anomalies that have been chafing at our collective culinary conscience for all this time. Nothing big, mind you, but it does feel good to set a few things straight.
If you're a "Good Eats" fan, a cook, someone who eats, or just a sentient creature passing through the solar system, you'll want your very own copy of Good Eats: The Early Years. And don't worry, Good Eats: The Middle Ages is in the works as we speak.
May the food be with you.
--Alton Brown
This cookbook is in keeping with the typical AB style....carefully explained and crafted recipes, and the technical detail to explain why and how things work. Gives you the knowledge to be able to modify recipes to suite your own needs.

0 of 0 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »I was not amazed about how the good the book was because Alton Brown is basicly my hero. But I was amazed at how well it was put together with so much amazingly useful information crammed into it. Anyone that is interested in Alton Brown or his show or even remotely interested in cooking at all should look into buying this book. P.S. I will be 13 years old next month!

Alton Brown has done it again......His book is almost as good as his show. I can't believe the quality and minimal cost for such a treasure. Can't wait for the following chapters.. Linda Freeman

Well written, funny, fact filled, etc. Could Alton Brown or maybe all the FoodNetwork chefs cowrite a book about BASIC cooking techniques, tools, equipment, spices, herbs, etc. I know its a lot to ask. WELL DONE KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!

I love the design of the book as well as the clearly-defined sections as well as Elton's personal comments around the writeup. It allows for light reading without boring one out. I am already looking forward to the 2nd and 3rd volume of the triology!!
