With contemporary information that reflects changes in the world of processing and preserving foods, this cookbook demonstrates the scientific principles that underpin the chemical reactions we witness every day—just by cooking.

And once readers have tested their theories and completed their experiments, they can eat the results! From salad dressing to mayonnaise, celery to popcorn, and muffins to meringues, this book uses food to make science accessible to a range of tastes.

Also included is essential information on eating healthfully, plus additional resources for further exploration. 

From the Author

This book has become a classic because it it a book of procedures.  I did every experiment in the book and wrote what I did and what I discovered.  This leaves room for the reader to vary the procedures and see the differences in the results. There are no correct or incorrect result--you can learn from everything you do.   This edition contains many new experiments including a discussion of nutrition and that 70 % of the American diet is made up of processed food--science experiments we buy and eat regularly.
