@pbsnews: Alton Brown has made a name for himself as a TV host and Food Network fixture. His work fuses together cooking, chemistry and comedy. He is bringing that same humor to the page in his new book, “Food for Thought.” @altonbrown19 shares with Geoff Bennett what every home cook needs in their kitchen. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #cooking #foodnetwork #altonbrown #chef #chemistry #cook #news
It wasn't tiktok, it was food bloggers who'd give you their whole life story before the recipe.🥰 Love Alton!

Nooooo…. People very poorly WRITE recipes nowadays. It’s not the reading.

Not TikTok. They stopped teaching home economics in schools. I mean literally while I was at my school they replaced a mandatory cooking class with yet another computer skills class.

I’ve actually been cooking way more due to TikTok. Seeing how people do the steps upclose and explain why they’re doing certain things is helpful…And somehow I still know how to read

What Alton Brown taught me in Good Eats was the food science…after you know the WHY you do something, and WHY things happen…the rest is just mixing.

From that I'd say people on TikTok should learn how to write a recipe

I read several recipes for the same dish and make note of what is similar and different about them and come up with my variation. Also find it useful to ‘cook’ the meal in my head through the day

Seeing Alton age hurts my heart. I remember always watching his shows especially on Thanksgiving.

TikTok is not the problem I can assure you. If anything, TikTok has shared recipes to a degree never before reached.

I agree w this. I sit & read to understand the recipe. Take notes. Every time I do, I get lots of compliments for my food

The kitchen table thing hurts. Kitchens and prep areas are so small sometimes

Yeah you don’t need to read a recipe if you record the entire cooking process. Just like his show Good Eats.
