As you may or may not know, Alton Brown is my culinary hero. His show Good Eats is the only cooking show since Julia Child’s show to win a Peabody Award – and not without good reason. His unique approach to cooking strikes a chord with me. I am a big fan of learning how and why something works and that’s precisely how he goes about teaching. From putting himself in a giant grill to explain radiant heat and the convection process to wire and foam representations of chemical compounds his use of props to make the point is not only fun to watch, but is an effective way to get you to remember.

So, it is with great respect that I launch this section of the website. I plan to prepare at least 1 Alton Brown (AB) recipe per week, usually from his book “Good Eats – The Early Years” (but sometimes from the Food Network site) and blog about it. I’ll post pictures, explain the process and talk about the results. Please join me every week here on AB and Me!!

Cheers!
