As someone with a degree in Biology and a person who is continually trying to become a better cook, Good Eats starring Alton Brown is basically the perfect "cooking" show for me.  In fact, it is one of the very few television shows that my husband and I will sit down together to watch.  I have no interest in the History Channel or sports games and he has no love for the reality and typical cooking shows that I enjoy.  We both agree on Good Eats, though: it rocks!

Alton Brown is a dymanic host who shares history, acts out information, and teaches you the best techniques to prepare the dishes that he features.  Good Eats is a fast-paced show that keeps the attention of foodie viewers, regular viewers, ADHD viewers, and even middle and high-schoolers.  Every minute of the show is chock-full of cooking information, the science behind that cooking information, the history behind the science and cooking techniques, etc.  You can't help but LEARN as you watch Good Eats.

I must admit that I've only made one recipe that was featured on Alton Brown's Good Eats: French Onion Soup.  It was easy to prepare and soooo delicious! Although I don't make most of the dishes that he features, I still learn so much from each episode in terms of the history and science behind ingredients/cooking techniques.  I'm a science nerd in general, so I love the show, but Good Eats also has the quick pace, entertainment, and personality that attracts and keeps most people's attention.  Highly recommended!
