An Evening with Alton Brown

My name is Alton Brown and I wrote this book. It's my first in a few years because Ive been busy with television projects such as Good Eats, Iron Chef America, and Cutthroat Kitchen. When I haven't been hosting or producing Ive 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 with 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. Highlights include

Breakfast: Buttermilk Lassi, Overnight Coconut Oats, Nitrous Pancakes
Coffee Break: Cold Brew Coffee, Lacquered Bacon, Seedy Date Bars
Noon: Smoky the Meat Loaf, Fish Sticks and Custard, "EnchiLasagna" or "Lasagnalada"
Afternoon: Green Grape Cobbler, Crispy Chickpeas, Savory Greek Yogurt Dip
Evening: Onion Oxtail Soup, Mussels-O-Miso, Garam Masalmon Steaks,
Anytime: Pâté de Sardine, Roasted Chile Salsa, Peach Punch Pops
Later: Cider House Fondue, Open Sesame Noodles, Midnight Mug Cake for 2

So lets review: 101 recipes with mouthwatering photos, a plethora of useful insights on methods, tools, and ingredients all written by an award-winning and influential educator and taste-maker. That last part is from the PR office. Real people don't talk like that.
