I am really enjoying this book, it tells you things about everything in your kitchen from utensils to food and more things than expected. Stuart has gone to great lengths to explain everything in an easy to understand way. Great book.

Love love love this book and it’s sister slice book.

No recipes but bridges the science of cooking and the creativity. Every page is drenched in photos and diagrams, with great explanations.

The book states it answers every question and so far for my engineering addled brain it’s dough(ing) 😂 a pretty great job

DK succeed with another 'infographics' book

A beautiful and very visual introduction to the science of cooking. This makes a nice coffee table book or something to dip into for passing interest. However several times I felt let down by the lack of depth and the lack of practical application.

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.

The information in this book is to inform a cook

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2019

Verified Purchase

I found the information in this book useful. It is not a deep and meaningful science book, neither is it a recipe book. I think it is aimed at an enthusiastic amateur kitchen cook or a trainee chief at the very beginning of their learning. The sciences is more about how and why to choose the types of ingredients that crop up in ordinary kitchen. It covers things like the pros and cons of free range eggs against other means of egg production; how and why to store oils and the different types of rice and how to use and cook them. I would have bought it just to learn to cook rice properly. There are small sections about molecules but only to underpin the above points. An example: there is a description of salt and how it reacts in the pan, this is illustrated by little windows of molecules moving about in the and reacting in the water. And it is this example that made me mark the book a little harshly. There is just a lttle information about how and when to salt and this scantiness crops up in other areas too. Over all I found the information given very useful and interesting. I think some of the negative reviewers may have made the mistake of expecting recipes and or much deeper scientific detail.

The perfect book for every cook!

Just received my copy of Dr Stuart Farrimond's new book, "The Science of Cooking". This is a must-have book for anyone interested in the culinary arts. Dr Farrimond has a very engaging writing style and his book tells you everything you need to know about kitchen conundrums - from how to avoid soggy-bottomed pies to which utensils to use for the job at hand. The book is beautifully illustrated and is the perfect Christmas or any-time-of-the-year gift for friends and family. Highly recommended and a five-star publication!
