Abstract:
An overview of the techniques of modern gastronomy. Nathan Myhrvold, Chris Young, and Maxime Bilet--scientists, inventors, and accomplished cooks in their own right--have created a six-volume 2,400 page set that reveals science-inspired techniques for preparing food. The authors and their twenty-person team at The Cooking Lab have achieved new flavors and textures by using tools such as water baths, homogenizers, centrifuges, and ingredients such as hydrocolloids, emulsifiers, and enzymes.
