Good Eats

Good Eats

The first episode of Alton Brown’s Food Network® show, Good Eats, aired August 20, 1997, and was called “Steak Your Claim.” With it, he certainly did stake a claim to a unique exploration of food and cooking that has won a Peabody Award and entertained millions. Now, he takes fans on a trip down memory lane with: • a behind-the-scenes look at the first 80 episodes, including must-see classics like “It’s a Wonderful Cake,” “For Whom the Cheese Melts” and “Crêpe Expectations” • more than 140 of the recipes (or “applications,” as Alton calls them) that made his show so tasty, such as the Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steak from its debut, 10-Minute Applesauce that can be cooked right in the microwave, Roasted Tomato Soup, Cocoa Brownies and even beer • sidebars for tips (for example, how to clean your cast-iron skillet or how to whip an egg white foam to maximum lightness for the perfect soufflés, mousses and Angel Food Cake) and tidbits (Did you know that fried chicken was probably brought to America by the Scots?) What’s more, plenty of food jokes, puns, anecdotes and trivia and a whopping 1,000-plus photos and illustrations just add to the goofiness and fun. Thanks for the memories, Alton!
