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
I have been a fan of the Good Eats TV series. The book not only gives you the recipes but a lot of the background for the show and how it is made. I am looking forward to Mr. Alton Browns next book.

I love the extra notes added by Alton. Everyone that knows me knows how excited I was to receive this book, the extras were great too. I have told everyone to buy this and watch "Good Eats".

0 of 0 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »Alton Brown is informative and entertaining, as always. We have already made several recipes from this easy to follow cookbook, and they have all been well received...even by the KIDS! Highly recommend. I can't wait til ALL the recipes from the shows are available in cookbook format! I am assuming another will follow, since this one only contains recipes from the first several seasons.

I like all the facts and history he explains in the book. It is not just a cook book but a history book as well. It is like two books in one. The recipes seem interesting and fun to make.

I started to tape his shows, and then I bought some of the shows that were on tape... I would like to have the whole collection, but it just was to expensive.. I have most of his cookbooks. and I had to have this one, My favorate is his feasting on asphalt... Elton Brown is Number one on the Food Network...

0 of 2 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »All of Alton Brown's books are top-notch. This one is no exception. I enjoyed reading about episodes I had missed while they were on TV. Good Eats 2 - The Middle Years is just as good. Buy both!
