Good Eats! We ordered the first 12 volumes of Good Eats recently and they arrived last night! Good Eats is one of our favorite shows and we’ve watched it for years and years. Alton does such a good job of explaining food in a way a nerd like me can understand and enjoy. He doesn’t just talk about the what of food, he talk a lot about the why. A lot of food science goes into the episodes, which hooks me and make it a lot easier for me to spend time doing something I wouldn’t understand the point of otherwise. Not everyone will have the level of love that means you need to buy a set of 36 DVDs, but I think everyone should at least watch a couple of episodes to see if it is for them.

One of our favorite shows too! We’ve seen them all (I hope) a couple times now. We use Alton’s technique for cooking our steaks now… coat meat with oil and salt, then pan goes in oven to heat up… steak goes in pan for 30 seconds, turn over and go another 30 seconds, then into the oven for 2 minutes, turn over, two more minutes, take out and rest. We use Costco’s New York Strip steaks (sometimes we slice them in half horizontally because they’re so thick).
