    The easiest pastry dough to make also happens to be the most versatile and delicious. Trouble is, Americans won's make it because it's got a scary name:pate a choux. Join host Alton Brown as he takes the steamy dough from cream puff to eclair and beyond.

    Olive Me

    Although small in stature, olives are huge in flavor, not to mention that they've changed the course of human history and can change your cooking for the better. Alton will open your eyes to tasty options for olives other than languishing in your martini glass or on an antipasto plate

    A Pie in Every Pocket

    The standard lattice top apple pie may be an American icon, but it’s not the best pie for a culture on the go. Join host Alton Brown as he looks into the past, future and present of the very handy "pocket" pie. As for fillings, how does curry mango, chocolate and beef stew grab you?


  2. Sam's Club or Costco are great for little appetizer foods like Nancy's deli rolls (in freezer section).  There are alot of dips you could do, I like spinach dip and pumpernickel bread. Meatballs with cocktail sticks, tea sandwiches, veggie tray, chex mix.  I love the butter mints at showers too.
