Welcome to Litsy!

In 1998 Alton Brown set out to create a cooking show for a new generation. The result was Good Eats, one of Food Network�s most popular programs. In 2002, Brown set out to write a cookbook for people who would rather understand their food than follow a recipe. A mix of cutting-edge graphics and a fresh take on preparing food, I�m Just Here For the Food became one of the bestselling cookbooks of the year�and received the James Beard Foundation/KitchenAid Book Award as best reference book. In 2006, to commemorate and celebrate this success story (more than 300,000 copies in print), STC is pleased to announce I�m Just Here For the Food: Version 2.0. This special edition features 10 brand-new recipes and 20 pages of additional material�along with everything that made the original a classic instruction manual for the kitchen. Each of the book�s 15 sections is a module on a given cooking method�from pan searing to pressure cooking, stewing to steaming�with a �master� recipe and a varied selection of recipes that epitomize the technique. The text is accented throughout with food facts, history and lore, and science.
