Book Reviews of Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen
Book Review: Alton At His Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a huge Alton Brown fan. As with his show and his other book, he integrates science into his discussion of kitchen gadgets. He says which ones are good, and which ones aren't. It's probably not the book for the serious chef or cook, but it's great for a novice like me. There are lots of simple tips in here on buying and maintaining various kitchen items. It's a fairly easy read, but well worth it.Book Review: Informative Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so glad Alton wrote this book. I'm upgrading all my kitchen stuff and was overwhelmed with all the products out there. Whether you agree with him or not, he gives an honest assessment of dozens of items. And typical of Alton he tells you "scientifically" why he chose the products he endorses. The book reads just like the Good Eats show, lots of information and quirky Alton sidebars.Book Review: Perfect Guide!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am brand new to cooking and am living in my 1st apartment, so I was starting with nothing. Gear helped me figure out exactly what I needed and helped me every step of the way. I would bring the book in with me to BB&B and Costco and refer to it while I was browsing. Couldn't have asked for a better kitchen gear guide!! Alton is the man! (I bought all his other books too :)Book Review: Good guide for fans of cooking gear
Summary: 5 Stars
This book begins by giving sound advice. If you don't use it at least once every six months it has no place in your kitchen. It outlines a solid program for clearing out the kitchen and replacing unused items wisely. Value is the key.
A good read but I am finding it hard to put into practice. But then again I find it hard to diet and exercise.
Book Review: Good General Info
Summary: 4 Stars
This book included a little bit of information on a wide variety of kitchen tools. I wish there was more info on some items and am not interested in others that he did include. Alton Brown did a good job of writing a book that a novice or an experienced home chef could learn something from. He approaches the book with his usual raw no-nonsense approach.
