The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, J. Kenji Laopez-Alt - Hardcover

This book wasn't even on my radar until my best friend mentioned that it was on sale. As an occasional collector of cookbooks, I could not pass up the opportunity for such a tome, promising a wealth and depth of techniques, modern cookery, and quality photos. I was not disappointed! It is the first book I have ever ordered online to arrive in its own factory shrinkwrap, which for some odd reason felt extra fancy.It is a HEAVY hardcover book, so beware that if you are ordering multiple items from Amazon at once, this may be at the bottom of a box you forgot was arriving! I have only just cracked it open to see if random ingredients like brandy are covered (it is).Another great treat is the voice of the author. J. Kenji López-Alt is hilarious! Just read the paragraph flexing science-y facts and wry references about asparagus on page 457!I am already excited to learn about new and exciting ways to prepare foods, better techniques, and elevated lingo for hoity-toity dinner chats (minus the cringe).

Si alguna vez te has preguntado por qué ciertas recetas funcionan mejor que otras o qué técnicas realmente hacen la diferencia en la cocina, "The Food Lab" es el libro que estabas esperando. Escrito por el chef y científico culinario J. Kenji López-Alt, este libro es una oda a la cocina basada en la ciencia, llevando a los lectores a un viaje profundo pero accesible detrás de los principios culinarios.Además de su enfoque educativo, "The Food Lab" está escrito de manera accesible y divertida, haciendo que la ciencia culinaria sea emocionante y comprensible para todos, independientemente de su nivel de habilidad en la cocina. Con ilustraciones claras y fotografías inspiradoras, el libro no solo enseña, sino que también inspira a los lectores a experimentar y perfeccionar sus habilidades culinarias.

Esse livro mistura ciência (já que o autor fez eng. Química no MIT) e a arte da culinária, quebrando diversos tabus sobre comida que foram criados com o tempo.Vale a pena ler e aprender diversas técnicas culinárias sob a ótica da ciência!

Love it

brilliant and MASSIVE!
