Making Cooking Accessible, Informative and Fun

Alton seems to have a pretty large following, but I've just discovered how high-quality his shows generally are over the past year or so.  Sure, you have to "suffer" through some really corny bits, but every show is packed with useful tips, history and science.  "Good Eats" is definitely making me a better cook.

Re: Making Cooking Accessible, Informative and Fun

I know this is an old post, but I was just looking around the site and was curious about the Alton Brown fans. Do any of you follow America's Test Kitchen as well? What about Shirley Corriher, a food scientist and cookbook author who often appears on Good Eats? I love all of them for making me a better cook.

For me, the corny bits are what help me remember the useful information. As for Shirley O. Corriher, I have a collection of over 200 cookbooks that includes "CookWise" The secrets of cooking revealed. Shirley explains the hows & whys of successful cooking!

I realize that the corny post was 1 yr 6wk and 4 days ago but the more recent post by divalicious brought my attention to it.

I also follow America's Test Kitchen but not so much since I discovered big oven!

I am addicted to America's Test Kitchen and if we could purchase cable a la carte the Food Network and CNN are probably the only channels that I'd need.

Wow Weckle! I thought I was a cookbook junkie. I've got nothing on you - yet. My collection does include CookWise. Have you prepared any of Corriher's recipes that I should consider? It's been a while since I cracked that one open.
