Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

An updated twentieth-anniversary edition of the classic culinary reference features ninety percent new material and provides a wealth of kitchen tips, food-preparation techniques, folklore, literary anecdotes, and health information, in a volume that features particular coverage of trends from the past two decades.


Review:

"[A] stunning masterpiece that combines science, linguistics, history, poetry and, of course, gastronomy."

Publishers Weekly, 11/22/2004

Review:

"...McGee has taken his slightly outdated volume and turned it into a stunning masterpiece....Almost every single page of this edition has been rewritten, but the book retains the same light touch as the original. McGee has successfully revised the bible of food science--and produced a fascinating, charming text."

Publishers Weekly, 11/22/2004

Book Description: SIMON SCHUSTER, 2004. Hardback. Book Condition: New. Patricia Dorfman, Justin Greene (illustrator). Revised and Updated ed. 235 x 184 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Harold McGee's "On Food and Cooking" is a kitchen classic. Hailed by "Time" magazine as "a minor masterpiece" when it first appeared in 1984, "On Food and Cooking" is the bible to which food lovers and professional chefs worldwide turn for an understanding of where our foods come from, what exactly they're made of, and how cooking transforms them into something new and delicious. Now, for its twentieth anniversary, Harold McGee has prepared a new, fully revised and updated edition of "On Food and Cooking." He has rewritten the text almost completely, expanded it by two-thirds, and commissioned more than 100 new illustrations. As compulsively readable and engaging as ever, the new "On Food and Cooking" provides countless eye-opening insights into food, its preparation, and its enjoyment. "On Food and Cooking" pioneered the translation of technical food science into cook-friendly kitchen science and helped give birth to the inventive culinary movement known as "molecular gastronomy." Though other books have now been written about kitchen science, "On Food and Cooking" remains unmatched in the accuracy, clarity, and thoroughness of its explanations, and the intriguing way in which it blends science with the historical evolution of foods and cooking techniques. Among the major themes addressed throughout this new edition are: Traditional and modern methods of food production and their influences on food quality The great diversity of methods by which people in different places and times have prepared the same ingredients Tips for selecting the best ingredients and preparing them successfully The particular substances that give foods their flavors and that give us pleasure Our evolving knowledge of the health benefits and risks of foods "On Food and Cooking" is an invaluable and monumental compendium of basic information about ingredients, cooking methods, and the pleasures of eating. It will delight and fascinate anyone who has ever cooked, savored, or wondered about food. Bookseller Inventory # AAC9780684800011
