As I eagerly anticipate the latest Good Eats book, I have come to the realization that I am going to have to clean out some of my homemade recipe binders. I have a couple binders full of recipes I have printed from the internet, mainly from foodnetwork.com, and mainly Alton Brown recipes. Preferring to use the recipes from the Good Eats books, my binders have seen less and less use.
The Good Eats books are wonderful resources, and I am sure Good Eats 3: The Later Years will not disappoint. Sure, I could go online and print every recipe from the show, but with all the photographs, drawings, science-of-food facts, cooking tips, and food trivia, AB does a phenomenal job making it feel like you are holding a Good Eats episode in your hands.
As for my binders, they will still get some use, and I am thinking about making a new binder, too. Not every recipe from Good Eats is included in the books. Stove Top Mac-n-Cheese, Avocado Buttercream Frosting, The Thin, and The Puffy didn't make the cut. Excluding The Thin and The Puffy is understandable because The Chewy is the only chocolate chip cookie recipe anyone would need.
Back to my original point, I am thinking about making a binder that includes all the Good Eats recipes that are not included in the books. I have not gone through the books to see how many recipes that includes, so I don't know if I will print all the recipes or just the ones I use. I just think it would be neat to have every Good Eats recipe at my fingertips.
