Admittedly when Alton Brown came on my radar in 1999 I was intrigued and appreciative of his mad cooking skills but, once the
Alton Browncast podcast busted through my world, yep, I was crushing.
The podcasts are very entertaining hitting on pop-culture, retro coolness, film history, an insiders view of food TV but, during all this there is a circling back to some aspect of food culture/experience.
His latest book
Alton Brown Everyday Cook is pretty spectacular. Here is a recent
podcast chatting about the process with his photographer Sarah De Heer who used an iPhone 6s Plus in a directly overhead shooting style on every shot.

So much of this technique is all about composing the shot. |

Lovely bit of fan fun playing around with Matt Smith's 11th regeneration of Doctor Who. The Doctor was feeling a bit peckish but, finally found what he was craving, Fish Sticks and Custard. Mr. Brown gives this a thumbs up for flavor with this version of the dish. |

You will find useful Alton Brown methods through out the pages of his book. |
If anything listen to the podcasts and if this is your first experience with podcasts, what a way to be introduced! Owning Android operating systems in the past
Stitcher Radio was my go to app but, now with migrating over to Apple and a 6s iTunes is taking a little getting used to but, very user friendly.
'This time it's personal', what a great approach to a cookbook! What shall I whip up first?
"Do not allow watching food to replace making food." -Alton Brown
