The Science of Cooking: Every Question Answered to Perfect Your Cooking (The Science of Food) [Farrimond, Dr. Stuart] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Science of Cooking: Every Question Answered to Perfect Your Cooking (The Science of Food)

Review: Everything I ever wanted to know about my food. - I've now bought three of these for colleagues who are scientists and love cooking, and I'm planning to buy one for myself too. The information content is amazing and answers all the questions I've ever had about how to pick the best/ripest foods, why things are cooked a certain way, and what is the best way to get the most nutrients out of the foods I'm eating. Its not just about the cooking process but about the raw ingredients as well. Its great for cooks, scientists, and anyone curious about their food and how to prepare it. It's going to be my new go-to for graduation gifts and first home presents because it contains info everyone should know to make the most of their first kitchen and first attempts at cooking. I've sampled several books of this type and most were very boring and didn't really have the content I was hoping for, along with several being more centered on the chef/writer than on the food and science! So I love the great pictures and diagrams and information contained in this book and this its the best one of its kind available.
Review: Good information on food - I learn so much from this book, I have been cooking for so long and own several hundred of cookbooks. This one is different, it gives you more depth on all kinds of food. I just got the book yesterday and still reading through it. I like the book and glad I got it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything I ever wanted to know about my food.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good information on food
*by I***7 on July 20, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best food science books I've ever read
*by K***N on June 25, 2019*

This book was able to answer all the questions I had about cooking and more! I've always been an avid cook and wanted to learn the reason why I might add an ingredient to a dish and the effect it has on the food. That and why I would use one cooking method (say frying versus poaching) over another and how it affects how moist the food is after its cooked. What I loved most about this book is that it has tons of illustrations and is very detailed into the "why" behind each technique. Prior to reading this book, I would always see recipes and cookbooks tell me what ingredients to use, but never knew how it changed its flavor. I highly recommend this book for anyone learning to cook, and if you are a fan of J. Kenji Lopez-Alt and his book "The Food Lab," you will love this book as well. Comparing those two books, Kenji's book is like a dictionary that tells you what foods pair well and gives some reasons why, whereas this book tells you how flavors mesh together, and how to prepare any/every meat and vegetable for the desired flavor of choice. Highly recommend for any cooks, both amateurs and veterans!
