Product Description:
This sturdy kitchen organizer is the perfect companion for any home cook-and essential for fans of Alton Brown's I'm Just Here For the Food.

Designed to be a constant kitchen companion, the Kitchen User's Manual has eight separate sections for your recipes, notes, and other cooking essentials. Each section includes a durable full-page plastic pocket to hold clippings, equipment manuals and warranties, and other kitchen paperwork.

Blank pages have plenty of space for clippings or handwritten recipes-plus notes on the side. And it's the place for all that cooking information that's rarely gathered in one place: temperature and measurement conversion charts, ingredient substitutions, guides to cuts of meat, cutting and carving diagrams, sanitation and safety information, and much more.

The helpfulness stops there. Alton would have done better to put all his useful information in a small wire-bound notebook...."a cook's cheat-sheets", or something of the sort; which would most likely only be pulled out once in a while. To use the book as it is, requires ... Read More

- Not what i expected
I wish i'd looked through this in a bookstore before purchasing. I'm a fan of his other two books, but this one was disappointing overall. Not enough info to justify the price, and much of what's there is already in his other book. I'm not sure that I will be motivated to actually use this book as the author intended.

- IT IS ALL BLANK
Dear Alton. I love your shows, but this book is a very serious dissapointment.

ALL THE PAGES ARE BLANK...............WHAT WERE YOU THINKING.
