Modernist Pizza

AWESOME addition to my cookbook library easy read and GREAT pictures tons of information

Love the books and chemistry behind them! Love the books! There are 3 books and a spiritual bound recipe book that is so beautiful with the series. The books are very high quality, and the information is outstanding! I already read book 1, That says lot, great read, clearly written, and really kept my attention to all the information inside! The detail of each book explaining about the topic is next to none! IF YOU ARE GOING TO CULINARY COLLEGE IT IS WORTH THE MONEY! Thank you for such a beautiful, purchase

Keep it in your cart look for coupons. I got it with tax and shipping for less than $200. Definitely worth it at that price point. You also then get 100% of the points that you’re paying for.

This multi-volume set of pizza making books is from Nathan Myrvold. I am impressed with the methodical and technical way that he presents cooking methods, techniques and equipment for the many types of cooking that he has investigated and written about. These are a bit pricey but I feel that all that I need to know is somewhere within the pages of this set. He has done similar sets for bread baking and for modern food preparation. Those volumes remain on my wish list.

I have purchased ALL the Modernist collections. From the first edition Modernist in the acrylic case to Home, to Bread. Also the coffee table photography book. Expensive, yes but worked it into my budget. Great reviews but a review is not the place for a critique of shipping. Let's keep it all product based. Amazon cannot dictate to vendors how to do a replacement. All are prepackaged sets. I hope it is a couple of years before the next collection comes out so I can prepare. A definite buy.

When I ordered this set I didn't know it would weigh over 30 lbs. This whole set is HEAVY and the book are huge and come in a metal stand (the red you see around the books). However, the content of these books is so detailed that one can become a master in pizza by reading through all these books. One day I'll buy the author's James Beard Award winning Bread series of books.

Best Pizza Booking

I think that you could make a very good pizza with so many other books. But Nathan Myhrvold and Francisco Migoya and the staff at the Modernist Kitchen have taken everything about pizza as a food down to the level of grams. They even tell you, as I looked, how to preserve a levain.

Fantastic to get this book including free shipping from Amazon.de for basically the same price as in the US - shipping alone from US would have been 172 USD not to mention customs/toll. The book package weight about 15 kg! The book package is a fantastic reference and encyclopedia with amazing photos describing the history, techniques and recipes of pizza making. 300 Euro may be much for a set of books, but if one can afford it and wants the ultimate resource of pizza making, then it is worth it.

Expensive but worth it.

This book set arrived quickly . It was wrapped and boxed beyond belief . Package of books is lovely and will keep my books in great condition Nd dafe . Also love the recipe book that comes with the other volumes 1. 2 3 . I love it would reccomend as a gift or a purchase for ones self . Such value for money . Volumes are so big and informative on many levels from beginners to the commercially experienced . Will take ages to read but so so interesting . Thankyou and thankyou to the delivery person who really handled my parcel with care .

This is a nice set. However it's very expensive. I am more of a collector when it comes to fancy cookbooks. Do I recommend this set to learn how to make pizza? Honestly no. You can find sets that are just as good if not better at teaching you how to make pizza. This is more of a nice collector set. The first book traces the history of pizza and how it evolved over the centuries. This is my favourite book as I am more of a historian when it comes to how food became the food we eat today. The second book tackles techniques and the science of cooking it with the third being recipes. It is an amazing production since there are many pictures and the books and pages themselves are extremely premium. Again try to snag this on some kind of sale as I do not believe it's worth the money full price unless you're a collector and money isn't an issue for you.

This work of art is so complete, so detailed, I wish I could just buy all of their other books! It offers the history of pizza and a scientific approach about how everything in a pizza is made and work together! Each page is fascinating!
