AAfter reading one blog in its entirety, I've ordered this book. I stumbled across the the blog while looking for new recipes to try. I've been unable to bake for over a month now due to a compound ankle fracture. Reading her blog got me thinking, why don't I come up with my own recipes? Well I know that each ingredient has a purpose, but what? In the blog I read, the book was mentioned several times sooo I bought it! I should have it Friday, fantastic now I'll have a new read while recovering from my surgery on Thursday.

Has anyone read this book?

I haven't, but I love alton brown! I would definetly read that book. maybe you can use this time to learn all about certain ingredients.

I hope your surgery went well! You'll have to tell us how you liked the book, it sounds like something I'd be interested in too!
