Good Eats with Alton Brown: Kitchen Classics 

Christmas came this year with three more discs of Good Eats goodness. Exclusive to Target stores are this wonderful collection where Alton tackles such topics as Espresso, Premium ice cream, and herbs and spices. While these episodes are light on recipes for me they are also a bit light on the extras. While Food Network has added some hilarious bloopers they took out the Ask Alton segments. Let's hope this is a trend that does not continue.

There can be said that there is never too much of a really good thing. As for Good Eats, there is certainly nothing bad about these episodes though I do feel that Alton is running out of recipes after 10 years on the air and is also moving away slightly from his anti-untiasker stance.

By the way, replacement Deb was hot. ~_^

Good Eats with Alton Brown: Whet Your Appetite 

Ahh more Good Eats! It's no secret that I absolutely love this show. The mix of science and cooking is pure genius and honestly there's nothing I can really say about this show that I haven't said before.

On this collection so far I haven't tried any of the new recipes though I have considered trying some of the Wonton recipes. Sushi and Pad Thai ... not so much. I may make the Egg Nog this Christmastime sans alcohol of course.

All in all a good solid collection. Pick it up at your local Target and be sure and catch the show on the Food Network.

Good Eats with Alton Brown: Hooked and Cooked, Poultry Pleasers, More Meats 

It's no secret that I love cooking. I also am a big fan of science and comedy. Thus, it's no big surprise that I am a huge fan of Good Eats. Alton Brown mixes comedy, science and a lot of fun with his cooking to create some culinary masterpieces and some darn entertaining TV.

In this collection AB explores a bunch of different topics like fish, poultry and some meat shows. Personally I expect to at least try the chicken dissection and hopefully try making a good duck.
