I enjoy Alton Brown's TV show a lot, but I can't say the same for his book. There was a lot of basic information I already knew, so perhaps I had already moved beyond this book, and I found the presentation a bit confusing. Also, very few of the recipes inspired me. This book is going in the reference section of my shelves, will probably eventually be given away.
