EveryDayCook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER  This cookbook has 101 delicious recipes for home chefs of all abilities.

My name is Alton Brown, and I wrote this book. It's my first in a few years because I've been a little busy with TV stuff and interwebs stuff and live stage show stuff. Sure, I've been cooking, but it's been mostly to feed myself and people in my immediate vicinity-which is really what a cook is supposed to do, right? Well, one day I was sitting around trying to organize my recipes, and I realized that I should put them into a personal collection. One thing led to another, and here's EveryDayCook. There's still plenty of science and hopefully some humor in here (my agent says that's my "wheelhouse"), but unlike in my other books, a lot of attention went into the photos, which were all taken on my iPhone (take that, Instagram) and are suitable for framing. As for the recipes, which are arranged by time of day, they're pretty darned tasty. Highlights include: 
 
 Morning: Buttermilk Lassi, Overnight Coconut Oats, Nitrous Pancakes 
 Coffee Break: Cold Brew Coffee, Lacquered Bacon, Seedy Date Bars
 Noon: Smoky the Meat Loaf, Grilled Cheese Grilled Sandwich, "EnchiLasagna" or "Lasagnalada"
 Afternoon: Green Grape Cobbler, Crispy Chickpeas, Savory Greek Yogurt Dip
 Evening: Bad Day Bitter Martini, Mussels-O-Miso, Garam Masalmon Steaks
 Anytime: The General's Fried Chicken, Roasted Chile Salsa, Peach Punch Pops
 Later: Cider House Fondue, Open Sesame Noodles, Chocapocalypse Cookie
 
So let's 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 tastemaker." That last part is from the PR office. Real people don't talk like that.
