Book excerpt: This quintessential food-science-and-cooking-technique title is now available in ebook! Alton Brown is 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.) At long last, the book that Brown's legions of fans have cooked from and celebrated and spilled stuff on for years is available as an ebook, providing a brighter, shinier 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. The book contains more than 140 recipes and some helpful 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.
