Alton Brown
We recently acquired the Food Network in my building, and I’ve come to greatly enjoy the work of Alton Brown.
He’s my kind of cook. He cooks hand in hand with science (Wikipedia calls it molecular gastronomy) and that’s right up my alley.
I bought I’m Just Here for the Food: Version 2.0, Alton Brown’s Gear for Your Kitchen, and I’m Just Here for More Food: Food × Mixing + Heat = Baking and from what I’ve read so far, they are absolutely excellent.
I’ll soon be stocking up my kitchen with all sorts of fun things to help me make wonderful creations.
