THE GOOD EATS COOKBOOK Every single bloomin’ recipe from the Food Network show, Good Eats, starring Alton Brown. (Date Ending: December 1, 2005 ; Show Ending A Pie in Every Pocket ) Recipes From: Foodnetwork.com Formatting By: Michael Menninger, Mikemenn Productions © 2005 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 into 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 is noted from the show it came from on Good Eats. (Note: The title noted is the actual title. Sometimes FN has a different title.) You can visit the Good Eats Fan page at GoodEatsFanPage.com and find the specific show’s transcript to read what Alton said about it. Short of recording the episode from the TV, you can also purchase many of the shows on DVD from foodnetwork.com and watch them there, too. In fact, the DVDs have bonus material with Alton reading and answering questions about that episode. Visit the GEFP for a way to get 10% the DVDs. They’re worth the cost and make great presents. BUT, my transcripts are free so I suggest you start there first. How come the recipes don’t always follow the show? Good question. I’m glad you asked. Information about the show is submitted to Food Network in advance of the show’s taping. Often times, things are changed about the script, scene and recipe even up until the time of shooting. Food Network rarely goes back and changes their information. It’s up to you as to which to follow. What’s with the Copyright? Well, you can’t copyright a recipe. That’s my understanding. But you can copyright the work of formatting, etc. The recipes in this cookbook aren’t copyrighted. But the work I put into this cookbook is copyrighted. You have the right to pass along this cookbook intact. But don’t go trying to sell it anywhere such as eBay. ‘Nuff said. Hey, I found an error! So sue me. I make them. I’m only human!!! Seriously, I’d love any corrections so don’t hesitate to forward them to me for future updates at [email protected].
