I liked this book. Found it was a good basic book on frying. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. The recipes are well written and very interesting. Going to be trying many of them. It is like a course in frying.

I bought this book thinking it was about pan frying. Instead, it is the most complete book about deep-frying I have ever seen. Alton Brown is likely correct when he says that everything is better deep fried. Michael Simon proved it by deep-frying Brussels sprouts. The folksy language of author Rick Browne is off-putting, unless you stay up late to watch reruns of "Hee Haw" on cable TV. Some of the recipe titles are too cutesy, e.g. Frickles (deep-fried dill pickles), Pitchfork Steaks, Gobbler Strips (turkey), Ol' King Cod and Schwimp & Kwab Wwap. Others are remarkably international for a book rooted in Southern American cooking, e.g. deep-fried naan (for those without as tandoor handy), nargisi puri (East Indian), johnny cakes (Virgin Islands), plantains (Bahamanian), martabak (Indonesian), and songkran (Thai). There are also suggestions for some surprising ingredients. e.g. cherries on the stem, lobster, shark, cauliflower, green tomatoes, and Twinkies. This is an overall useful book for those addicted to the joys of deep-fried foods.
