Good Eats 3: The Later Years
by
Alton Brown
As Good Eats enjoys its 14th season on the Food Network, its popularity continues unabated. Fans can’t get enough of Alton Brown’s wildly inventive, science-geeky, food-loving spirit. It’s no wonder, then, that the first two volumes in STC’s Good Eats series were New York Times bestsellers.

I love this book. I like Good Eats the TV show, and I like learning about the science behind the cooking. I can say that I've already successfully made two things out of the book (Shepard's Pie and Marshmallows), with plans to make more items. The recipes are easy to follow, and the information with them is great! A really solid cook book.
The library didn't have volume 2, so I can't compare this to that, only to volume 1. This gets basically the same review as volume 1, but not quite as good. There is practically no trivia in this book, which makes it nearly a transcript of the show, with recipes (all by weight). Fine, but not great.
Very nearly as good as the others. I wish it had more material that wasn't already present in the show. Too many of the episode introductions were verbatim.

Really enjoyed the behind the scenes look as well as a scientific explanation over why food cooks/bakes/reacts the way it does.
There many great recipes for me to try out. Now that i have this book, the trilogy is complete.
Much larger book than I expected. Has ALL the details from the last 80 or so Good Eats episodes. A comprehensive companion to each episode, with all the explanations, recipes (which he calls "applications"--more scientific!), and pictures. Captures the spirit of the show pretty well. Small print in some sections, and so much information that it is impossible to read it in a short time. More suitable to select an episode or two at a time. Could be fun to watch the shows with this book handy.

Met him in person and got his book. I've learned so many cooking tips.
This is a good-bye to the series, and a little sad for me since I love "Good Eats".
I've loved Good Eats since the beginning, even though it is a bit campy (i.e. the Okra episode). Alton Brown is very informational and scientific though, and I love how that continues through the Good Eats cookbooks. I definitely have marked more recipes in this cookbook than in Volume 1, with recipes like Salted Caramel (my current obsession), Cauliflower Cheese, Mincemeat Pie (one of my hubby's favorite Christmas treats), homemade vanilla wafers for Banana Pudding, Beer Bread, and Meat Sauce a...more
I learn a lot when reading Alton Brown. And when I make the recipes I always get... Good Eats.
Browsing the library copy before the one I ordered comes in.
A disappointment after the previous 2 "Good Eats" books. This one is simply not their equal in terms of usability, information and layout.
It is so odd to me that I don't care for these books. I feel like Alton Brown on TV is so easy to follow and careful in presenting the steps. Yet the books are hard to follow and don't seem to present things in any sort of order. For instance, the TV show realy SHOWED how to spatchcock a bird; in the book, there are ridiculous, childish, bewildering diagrams.
The three books in The Good Eats series are, essentially, transcripts for Alton Brown's show, Good Eats - which I watched religiously. I refer to these three books as my "Kitchen Bible." I love how Brown explains the science behind the recipes - it gives me so much more control of my food when I know how and why it cooks/tastes/feels a certain way.
