About the Author

Alton Brown was directing TV commercials when he got the crazy idea to go to culinary school and reinvent the food show. The result: Good Eats, which has kept Brown gainfully employed for more than 20 years and earned him a Peabody Award. Along the way he also hosted Iron Chef America, Cutthroat Kitchen, and Feasting on Asphalt. Brown’s live culinary variety shows have played to sold-out theaters across the United States. He lives in Marietta, Georgia.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My name is Alton Brown and I wrote this book. It’s my first in a few years because I’ve been busy with television projects like Good Eats, Iron Chef America and Cutthroat Kitchen. When I haven’t been hosting or producing, I’ve been developing digital media projects and touring my live stage shows and collecting awards. My publisher made me say that last part. But then I started thinking that I wanted to do something personal. And that’s what EveryDayCook is. This is the food I cook and eat on a day-to-day basis, from morning to late at night and everywhere in-between. There’s still plenty of science and hopefully some humor here (my agent says that’s my “wheelhouse”) but unlike my other books, a lot of attention went into the photos, which were actually taken with my iPhone (take that, Instagram) and are suitable for framing. As for the recipes, which are arranged by time of day, they’re mighty tasty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its sort of sad that this is the last in the series
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2015

Its sort of sad that this is the last in the series. Unlike most cookbooks, I read this as they are filled with interesting information. Sometimes know that information explains why some bread your making is working - or not working! Mr. Brown is one of the most interesting 'chef personalities' from the Food Network - if you get the opportunity to attend one of his shows I encourage you to do so. There are various printings of these books, the first printings at least have a dust jacket, and the later ones don't. Since I will not only read these but cook from them, the dust jackets are not the necessary. Some, maybe all, have a CD - oddly enough, I have not watched them as yet other than the first one. If you are a inquisitive cook, new to cooking, or very experienced you will find the recipes easy to follow as they are presented in a clear and logical format.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best 'Home Economics Food Class' Rolls On
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2011

...and rolls to a finish, I guess. I own Alton Brown DVD's of his shows and I also own 'Good Eats 1&2'. Anyone who wants to learn how to cook for themselves and for their family will benefit enormously from the knowledge in this series. Starting at the neighborhood 'Megamart', Alton tells his audience what to buy, how to turn it into tasty and nutritious "Good Eats" and why his technical recommendations work! As an example, which bacon do you take home from the supermarket display? How can you make it crispy? Why does frying bacon suddenly burn and how can that be prevented? Does all espresso coffee have to be dark roasted? Both techniques and recipes are 'first rate' for home cooks. This edition may focus a bit more on 'hyphen American' cuisine, like Creole Red Beans and Rice or Asian-American items or foods from the Latino culture, German-or Italian-American foods, but it includes plenty of staples like great cornbread and fried chicken. Alton adds things like 'grilled pizza' and other bread techniques. Powerful antioxident ingredients like Pomegranate juice show up (as juice and as 'molasses'); so readers are kept well up-to-date on trends and nutritional science. These topics are also hallmarks of the series. There are additional recipes from all the usual sections of the cookbook world of ingredients and I hope to try a good many of them before I am finished with the book. Fans of the Food Network show "Good Eats" will also enjoy the continued 'outtakes' photos and 'behind the scenes' information. The energy and drive evident in the first series carry through this product as well and it seems that this is a 'matter of pride' for Alton and his 'merry band'. Did I mention that Alton includes a bonus feature: his very own design for a 'sock puppet', complete with paste-on eyes, tongue(s) and mouth(s)? All of the whimsy that makes this series 'one of a kind' remains intact.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for learning the science of cooking
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2021

This book is great! I love how Alton uses science to explain the cooking process because it helps me to be a better cook. I can understand why you have to do things in a certain order, which I feel not many books are able to do. The information is presented in an entertaining manner as well, which helps me retain it better. There are a lot of great recipes with substitutions and cooking methods included; this is a great book for anyone just starting to cook and trying to learn to cook!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stuff I had missed
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2011
Verified Purchase
I love Good Eats and I am sad Alton has finally stopped making the show. I own all the DVDs I was able to find and the first 2 books have only a couple of episodes not on those discs. This book has several more. If you are like me and own the DVDs and use the recipes from there, you may want to purchase this book to round out your collection. Hopefully there will be more DVDs in the near future to fill in all the gaps.

So far, my favorite book in this trilogy was the second one--it has the most useful recipes for me an my family and comes with a DVD of Good Eats shorts. As mentioned, this one also contains several "shows" that are not to be had on DVD yet. After having more time to look through recipes in this book that I am not already familiar with, I may change my mind and suggest this one as the best, but that's how it stands for now.

Also, if you like Alton Brown, you may consider Mark Bittman.  How To Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food  is probably his most popular book, but  The Food Matters Cookbook: 500 Revolutionary Recipes for Better Living  is also very good.

My husband and I have been watching a ton of Alton in the last few months since we've rediscovered the Cooking Channel. I've always been a huge fan of Good Eats and have learned a lot of great techniques from Alton over the years. I only give this 4 instead of 5 because we haven't made anything from it yet. I read through it in one day and marked about half the book as "to try".

If you liked the TV series, you'll LOVE these books. They are a great companion to the series and cover and expand on the concepts and recipes in the episodes. Well worth the price and a great gift for your Alton Brown loving friend or family member that likes to cook. Plus the recipes are great too. We've been using his brined turkey recipe every since we first saw it on the show and it's the best, most moist turkey you'll ever eat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta Love Alton Brown
Reviewed in Canada on September 4, 2014

Gotta love Alton Brown. I wish the structure was a bit more "normal" but then again, it is Good Eats and it is Alton Brown, so it does suit. I'd have loved if each book had come with the associated episodes on DVD as a good part of the joy of Good Eats is the visuals and methods illustrated during each episode. But well worth owning the full set that sits proudly in my kitchen cookbook collection.
