Geek that he is, I thought it would be appropriate to title this review "AB roxxors." I own these books but I did not purchase them in this bundle.

...More Food is AB's baking book. If you've never baked before, this is a very important manual. It's a manual, not a cookbook. Between its covers you will find everything a beginning baker needs to know to produce great results every time. It also contains the whats and whys of baking chemistry so even advanced bakers will find use for this great tome.

AB's Gear for the Kitchen. I may have reviewed this before but I'll say it again. If you love kitchen gizmos, you need this book. Keep this reference handy and consult it often. You'll never buy a bogus/useless gadget ever again. He encourages you NOT to buy gadgets for gadgetry's sake, but if you MUST buy, he explains to look for and what works.

One of the best combinations of cookbook and food science textbook out there. A great read with good illustrations that really explains the science of food.

You really want his books, he explains everything about cooking and you will love them. I found Roasting meat to be a favorite if you want to have your expensive meals perfect every time.

Alton Brown's books are so easy to follow and really help your understand your foods and utensils in the kitchen.

I love these books! I am a kitchen gear fanatic and of course an AB fan, so I had to get Gear For Your Kitchen. He isn't doing shameless plugs for certain brands, he is simply telling you what gear he personally likes, and why. I got some very useful tips for buying and using gear from this book. And I'm Just Here for More Food 2.0 is a great resource for learning various cooking techniques- as you've read by now in the other reviews for this book, it isn't a recipe book (although it does have many recipes), it is more of a How-To guide, which is what anyone who watches his show no doubt wants. If you are a Good East fan, you know what AB is like and this book is just like him. 'Nuff said.

They're both great books. They're typical Alton Brown. The book on Gear for your kitchen is a great book for the cooking beginner.
