Description

Why, exactly, do we cook the way we do? Are you curious about the science behind what happens to food as it cooks? Are you the innovative type, used to expressing your creativity instead of just following recipes? Do you want to learn how to become a better cook? Cooking for Geeks is more than just a cookbook. Author and cooking geek Jeff Potter helps you apply curiosity, inspiration, and invention to the food you prepare. This expanded new edition provides in-depth answers, and lets you experiment with several labs and more than 100 recipes—from the sweet to the savory. When you step into the kitchen, you’re unwittingly turned into a physicist and a chemist. This resource is for inquisitive people who want to increase their knowledge and ability to cook. Sorry!
