Praise for Good Eats 3: The Later Years:
“A victory lapâ€Â
â€"Chicago Tribune
“The hefty book is filled with health information and tips on how to become a better home cook, all told in the breezy style that made Alton Brown’s show so accessible and fun. Plus there is a pattern and stickers for making sock puppets. She was wonderful, but Julia Child never taught you how to make a sock puppet, did she?â€
 â€"Oregonian
“Alton’s cookbooks are non-traditional to say the least. In addition to great recipes, they’re loaded with humor, science, and great tips on selecting ingredients.â€
â€"! Northeast Flavor magazine
“Much like Good Eats the show, the book can carry many labelsâ€"or, more to the point, defy labels altogether.â€
â€"The Record
“His best yet.†â€"LAWeekly.com
