Review: Excellent insight into what cooking actually does to food. - I bought this book because I’ve a keen interest in cooking and thought it would be interesting to understand what is happening at a physical level to food. This book covers everything from how eggs are made up chemically, to what happens to meat when it’s cooked, to the effect of various cooking methods in a huge range of foodstuffs. It covers the make up of vegetables, and explains how food browns when cooked. If you have an interest in cooking, even if you are a professional cook, this book will help you to understand what the process is doing, and thereby help you get better results.
Review: The most helpful hints to become a better cook! - This is one of the best books I've ever purchased! Homebound due to COVID-19 and cooking 3 times as much as usual, I was not enjoying my new "pastime": I don't consider myself a great cook to begin with (I have been surrounded by great cooks in my family but also by my peers, and so I had resolved to saying that they had the knack for it, not me - natural talent DOES exist). Yet, the title of the book intrigued me because I enjoy applied science (the other half of my family). Within the first few chapters, my curiosity was triggered by myths that were explained or revisited, and by doubts that I had and which were confirmed thanks to the thorough explanations. I have learnt so much already and have already made the tenderest meat in years - my immediate family was enjoying it so much, that I knew I had achieved something good - finally! Every day now, I read a new chapter and learn details which are helpful and eye-opening (as well as mouth-watering). Thank you Dr. Farrimond for making cooking such an enjoyable and successful daily event.

This is one of the best books I've ever purchased!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by H***B on 7 November 2018*

I love this book. I bought it for myself as I'm interested in cooking but the gorgeous layout and design (I bought the hard-back) would make it a lovely gift. Genuinely interesting insights into the science behind various foods and cooking techniques e.g. how to cook a steak to perfection : not just how to cook it but WHY it's scientifically best to cook it that way (which most cook books won't bother to explain). Also the best cuts of meat explained - scientifically why some are better than others. Highly recommended for anyone into cooking at whatever level or interested in food and nutrition generally.
