Via Slashfood comes some great news today: Alton Brown has signed on for another three years with Food Network. This is great news! His simple, classic approach to food has made cooking good food from real ingredients a reality for me. I hope we have his quirky, blonde brand of cooking humor in full color for many years to come.
Today’s link fest: some of my favorite AB recipes.
- Pantry Friendly Tomato Sauce. A tomato sauce that tastes great and doesn’t require tomatoes to be in season.
- Granola. This recipe got me making my own granola. I don’t follow the recipe (or any recipe, really) anymore, but it’s a great staple.
- Savory Polenta. A great basic. The recipe that got me making polenta.
- Turbo Hummus, in which my man Alton substitutes peanut butter for the tahini. Well played, my friend, and delicious.
- Pan Seared Ribeye. More of a technique than a recipe, this is my favorite way to cook steak now.
- Beet Slaw. Don’t be afraid of fresh beets. They are delicious!
- Vlad’s Very Garlicky Greens. A complex garlic flavor makes for a great default thing to do with cooking greens.
- Sweet Potato Pie. A simple Southern classic from my favorite Southern boy.
As I write this, I’m watching his Great Balls of Meat episode. Excuse me, I have to go now, and ponder meatballs.

Love me some Alton! And that greens recipe is perfect for spinach. My resolution this year is to eat healthy, feel good and forget that four letter word “D-I-E-T.”
