Foody Gift
I purchased On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen as a gift to a friend with culinary interests. He was immediately smitten, as were other foody friends. It had been recommended to me by a friend in the culinary field as "a cooking bible"



On Food and Cooking
Remains the "go to" source for scientific evidence based food knowledge and a good read



Great Book!
On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen is great for students and teachers that want to know the scientific information about cooking and baking. For example it explains the chemical changes in leavening, emulsions, and so much more. It talks about the nature of plants, dairy, all of the cookingmethods. Oh I dont think the author missed a single detail in this hows, whys, and whos of cooking. I highly recommended it to keep in your house.
