Food for Thought: Essays and Ruminations by Alton BrownMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is part memoir, part essay, and I enjoyed every page of it! We get an inside peak into his life -- a young Alton growing up, his food inspirations, how he got started with Good Eats, Ma Mae's famous biscuits, behind-the-scenes at Iron Chef America, his thoughts on the martini, and MUCH more!
My husband and I have been watching Alton Brown since the early days of Food Network when he was doing Good Eats. Those episodes were a magical combination of cooking, eating, food, science and entertainment, and we learned so much from them. Unfortunately, I agree with Alton that the Food Network has now become the Food Game Show Network. Shows that actually teach cooking skills are few and far between.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who has watched and appreciated Alton Brown's sense of humor and love for cooking and food. Five stars!!
