Is it Okay to Say that I Love Alton Brown?
Seriously. My life on the large scale and my cooking on a smaller scale has been positively affected by Alton Brown and his show Good Eats. There is no better source to learn about the food that you cook instead of just how to cook the food itself. Alton makes sense because he takes the time to explain the science behind cooking, which is extremely important, while keeping it on the average Joe level. The man is just amazing.
This evening, Alton demonstrated how to brew beer. I’ve known for some time how to brew beer, but not how to brew beer better. I think I know better now. I’ll let you know in a few weeks.
He’s a good man. Dharma and I just purchased “Gear for the Kitchen,” per your recommendation. The book is very insightful, and not corny as the title may suggest.
