ok, wow! I was going to read this entire thread till I realized that it no longer had much to do with Alton Brown's cookbooks!
Anyways...I don't own any of his cookbooks, but my sis does. I've liked watching his shows simply because I pick up a few interesting tips here and there. I've never used any of his recipes and I don't watch him for his culinary experience.
About his cookbooks, I love to look at cookbooks, but I couldn't get through much of his without getting bored. If you've watched his shows, you've probably absorbed all the useful tips he has to offer - I wouldn't waste my money on his books. I don't think his books are supposed to be much about the recipes. For me, there were way too many graphics and not enough content. Then again, I don't think he has much more content to offer.
So, I hope I could help with your original question, or at least help get this thread back to the question raised. |
