The award-winning The Science of Good Food by David Joachim, Andrew Schloss, and A. Phillip Handel, Ph.D. is a great reference book for anyone who loves to cook, wants to learn how to cook, or just enjoys science. This book is no lightweight (it weighs almost 4 pounds) when it comes to information about everything to do with food and cooking.
From aeration to wine, the entries follow the format of “What it is” and “What it does.” Want to know which flowers are edible to garnish your salad? It’s in here. Want to know how to sharpen your knives at home? It’s in here. And wedged between all this easy-to read information you can find recipes, fast facts, culinary tips, and umpteen tables to get to the meat of the matter.
I bought this book because I thought it would be a good reference book and interesting reading. It has turned out to be a frequently used reference book and fascinating reading. You may know your way around the kitchen, but learning about the science behind cooking, baking, and foods brings a new perspective to those skills.
