Customer Reviews

The science of food explained!

I bought this book in anticipation of taking my first college course (after graduating high school 17 years ago!). I have been reading it before the class starts because it is a very fascinating and comprehensive guide with (fairly) easy-to-understand explanations of the scientific breakdown of all of our favorite foods. Even if the class is cancelled, I will still keep this as a great compliment to my cookbooks!
