Good Eats episodes are focused on an ingredient and what you can do with it; Cooking for Geeks is essentially inverted, focused on concepts with recipes to illustrate and explain. This approach allows me to cover topics that don't readily fall out of traditional recipes or ingredients (ie psychology - what type of cook are you? or physiology - how does taste and smell work?).
