Book Review: “EveryDayCook”

We love this book by Alton Brown for many reasons. Here are the sections:

  • Hardware: shows the staple equipment you need in your kitchen, as well as how to multitask with a lot of them (like using a paper plate as a funnel)
  • Pantry: this is cool because it explains a lot of spices that you may not have used before but will become your go-tos.
  • Bar: lists the top 10 spirits to stock your bar with.
  • Methods: has really cool diagrams that teach you fun things (like how to skin a mango or clean a cast iron pan)
  • Recipes: they are do-able, yet much better than what the Joneses are having for dinner.
  • Asterisks: explain why he does what he does and what pitfalls to avoid.
  • Index: not only does he have the usual one, but he also categorizes them by Category (like Entrees – pork or Snacks) for when you have an ingredient in mind for a certain meal. He also categorizes them by Method (like Cream whipper or Pressure) in case you want to learn how to cook a new way.
