  • The Good Eats Cookbook from Alton Brown's Show
    Every Single Bloomin Recipe From the Food Network Show, Good Eats, Starring Alton Brown. (Date Ending: November 12, 2006; Show Ending Fry, Turkey, Fry) Recipes From: Foodnetwork.com Formatting By: Michael Menninger, Mikemenn Productions © 2006 Copyright 2005 Mikemenn Productions Page 1 What s in this Cookbook? Good Eats starring Alton Brown has a lot of good recipes. Instead of surfing the web, why not print them all out and stick them in a binder? This cookbook is a compilation of all the recipes in a unique and easy to read format. The recipes come from foodnetwork.com and can also be found in verbal form from the episodes of the show. Print out the Odd pages first, restack and flip and then print out the Even pages next. What s up with the format of the recipes? I hate the normal format for recipes. You can t find where you are in the recipe very easily and it s hard to determine which ingredient goes in when. With the layouts in this cook book, each step is linked to the ingredients for that step and each step is broken out and numbered for easy remembering. I hope you like it. Where d you get the data for each recipe? That, too, came from Food Network. I sometimes filled in my best guess. However, if there s little or no info, that s because Food Network didn t provide it. What if I need more info about the recipe? Each recipe notes he show from which it came. (Note: The title noted is the actual title.

Beard nurtured a genera- tion of American chefs and cookbook authors who have changed the way we eat. James Andrew Beard was born on May 5, 1903, in Portland, Oregon, to Elizabeth and John Beard. His mother, an independent English woman passionate about food, ran a boarding house. His father worked at Portland’s Customs House. The family spent summers at the beach at Gearhart, Oregon, fishing, gathering shellfish and wild berries, and cooking meals with whatever was caught. He studied briefly at Reed College in Portland in 1923, but was expelled. Reed claimed it was due to poor scholastic performance, but Beard maintained it was due to his homosexuality. Beard then went on the road with a theatrical troupe. He lived abroad for several years study- ing voice and theater but returned to the United States for good in 1927.

  • AA Sam Choy Bio 1 26 10
    Sam Choy, American Airlines’ Celebrity Consulting Chef Growing up in the small town of Laie on the North Shore of Oahu, Sam Choy learned to cook in his father’s restaurant, The Hukilau Café. Today, with three restaurants of his own, Choy is recognized worldwide for his delicious fare and friendly personality. He characterizes his award-winning cuisine as “a melting pot of the freshest ingredients from every culture on these islands.” In 2007, American Airlines utilized Choy’s expertise of Hawaiian cooking, which is strongly influenced by the Pacific Rim, California and Europe, by collaborating with him to design First and Business Class menus for American’s Hawaii flights. To customers’ great delight, his signature menu items are still served inflight on American Airlines’ Hawaii flights. In addition to creating palate-pleasing entrees for American, Choy has authored eleven top-selling cookbooks and frequently appears on hit Food Network programs including Extreme Cuisine, Emeril Live!, East Meets West with Ming Tsai, Sarah Moulton’s Cooking Live, Iron Chef America, The Food Network’s Luau Challenge and most recently Dinner Impossible. When he is not filming his weekly cooking show, Sam Choy’s Kitchen, or traveling to make special appearances or give cooking demonstrations, Choy oversees his talented team of executive chefs for his three restaurants located in Tokyo, Guam and on the Big Island of Hawaii. After handpicking each chef, Choy collaborates with them to develop a diverse menu for each restaurant. The result culminates in perennial awards of excellence for the restaurants and a carefully honed roster of loyal customers.
