My idol.

So as far as cooking and baking goes, my idol is definitely Alton Brown. His show on the Food Network, "Good Eats", is a perfect combination of wonderful cooking and baking know-how, quirkiness, and just downright funniness. I have his books "Good Eats: The Early Years" and "Good Eats: The Middle Years" and I am planning on getting "The Later Years" when it comes out!
