Whenever we cook we become practical chemists, drawing on the accumulated knowledge of previous generations, and transforming what the earth offers us into more concentrated forms of pleasure and nourishment and pleasure.
- Harold McGee, ON FOOD and COOKING copyright 2004


Ever wonder why cooked egg yolks sometimes turn green? Still trying to manufacture the perfect meringue? Take the mystery out of cooking with a look at the biology and chemistry of what happens in the kitchen. This book, completely revised from the 1984 cult (foodie) classic, answers many if not every often asked kitchen question(s) from a scientific perspective and explains why peppers are hot, and why seafood gets mushy if you cook it improperly, where our food comes from and how cooking changes them. McGee is a world-renowned authority on the chemistry of cooking and is an invaluable resource for the food professional and curious hobbyist alike.
