I just ran off to Barnes & Noble to pick up Nigel Slater's latest book, The Kitchen Diaries. Bon Appetit writes about it in the December issue (more on this book after I get a chance to read it). As I was perusing the latest arrivals, I stumbled across Alton Brown's "new" book. I put new in quotes because this book is basically a rehash of his great book "I'm Just Here For The Food". I am such a big fan of all things Alton Brown that I was ready to buy the book with hardly a glance when I read on the cover that there were only 15 new recipes and some refrigerator magnets. This book will be great for anyone who doesn't have the first version but stay clear if you already have it. I am a bit disappointed, Alton hasn't had a new cookbook out in a long time so he is definitely due, but this is a poor excuse for a "new" cookbook.
