Book Description

As Good Eats enjoys its 14th season on the Food Network, its popularity continues unabated. Fans can't get enough of Alton Brown's wildly inventive, science-geeky, food-loving spirit. It's no wonder, then, that the first two volumes in STC's Good Eats series were New York Times bestsellers. Like Volumes 1 and 2, Good Eats 3: The Later Years packs a bounty of information and entertainment between its covers. More than 200 recipes are accompanied by hundreds of photographs, drawings, and stills from the show, as well as lots of science-of-food facts, cooking tips, food trivia, and behind-the-scenes glimpses. In chapters devoted to everything from pomegranates to pretzels, mincemeat to molasses, Alton delivers delicious recipes along with fascinating background in a book that's as fun to read as it is to cook from. Good Eats 3 will be a must-have addition to the bookshelves and kitchen counters of Alton lovers everywhere. Praise for Good Eats 3: The Later Years: "A victory lap" --Chicago Tribune "The hefty book is filled with health information and tips on how to become a better home cook, all told in the breezy style that made Alton Brown's show so accessible and fun. Plus there is a pattern and stickers for making sock puppets. She was wonderful, but Julia Child never taught you how to make a sock puppet, did she?" --Oregonian "Alton's cookbooks are non-traditional to say the least. In addition to great recipes, they're loaded with humor, science, and great tips on selecting ingredients." --Northeast Flavor magazine "Much like Good Eats the show, the book can carry many labels--or, more to the point, defy labels altogether." --The Record "His best yet." --LAWeekly.com
