Book Reviews of Good Eats: The Early Years
Book Review: Alton is great His work deserves 9 stars *********
Summary: 3 Stars
I hate to give this book a THREE STARS.
My hope is that the editor will correct the problems
before the next edition of the MIDDLE YEARS.
The book is better than expected.
Organized greatly ... how else could you do it except
by Episode. There is an index for looking up by
specific items.
Well thought out.
But if you are buying this book as a gift for someone,
then make sure that someone is YOUNG with young eyes
The MAIN text is okay ... as least it is black text on a white background.
Other texts like tidbits is like white font on very light colored background.
I have to hold the book just right ... light over my left shoulder with the
book on an angle AWAY from the light source. This helps to get rid of the glare.
Tomorow I will try some COLOR GLASS to look thru.
Hopefully there is a color combination out there that will increase the contrast.
The publisher must have been worried about people copying the pages.
The pages are probably larger than what a scanner would read and some of the fonts
appear to be less than size 6.
I took my bifocals off and replaced them with just reading glasses.
Book is great ... info is great ...Alton is great ... I would buy again even with the poorly designed fonts.
I will be getting the follow up book also and was hoping this review would help in getting others to also suggest
changing the font color in the next book. Could be the smaller font is there in order to fit in all the good info
Summary of Good Eats: The Early Years
Alton Brown is a foodie phenomenon: a great cook, a very funny guy, and-underneath it all-a science geek who's as interested in the chemistry of cooking as he is in eating. (Well, almost.) Here, finally, are the books that Brown's legion of fans have been salivating for-two volumes that together will provide an unexpurgated record of his long-running, award-winning Food Network TV series, Good Eats.?
?
From "Pork Fiction" (on baby back ribs), to "Citizen Cane" (on caramel sauce), to "Oat Cuisine" (on oatmeal), every hilarious episode is represented. Each book-the second will be published in fall 2010-is illustrated with behind-the-scenes photos taken on the Good Eats set. Each contains more than 140 recipes and?more than?1,000 photographs and illustrations, along with explanations of techniques, lots of food-science information (of course!), and more food puns, food jokes, and food trivia than you can shake a wooden spoon at.
