Biography

Alton Brown

Alton Brown used to direct TV commercials and cook on the side. Then he got the crazy idea to go to culinary school and reinvent the food show. The result: "Good Eats," which kept Brown gainfully employed for fifteen years and earned him a Peabody Award. Along the way he also hosted "Iron Chef America" and "Feasting on Asphalt" and wrote seven books in his spare time. In 2013 he launched a live culinary variety show called "The Edible Inevitable" tour, which played to sold out theaters across the United States. In the spring of 2016, Brown’s new live show, "Eat Your Science," toured forty U.S. cities. Brown also hosts the insanely popular "Cutthroat Kitchen" on Food Network.

Alton Brown: EveryDayCook
by Alton Brown - Cookbooks, Cooking, Food, Nonfiction

My name is Alton Brown, and I wrote this book. It’s my first in a few years because I’ve been a little busy with TV stuff and interwebs stuff and live stage show stuff. Sure, I’ve been cooking, but it’s been mostly to feed myself and people in my immediate vicinity --- which is really what a cook is supposed to do, right? Well, one day I was sitting around trying to organize my recipes, and I realized that I should put them into a personal collection. One thing led to another, and here’s EVERYDAYCOOK. There’s still plenty of science and hopefully some humor in here (my agent says that’s my “wheelhouse”), but unlike in my other books, a lot of attention went into the photos, which were all taken on my iPhone (take that, Instagram) and are suitable for framing.
