Great Book! August 17, 2008
This book is great for students and teachers that want to know the scientific information about cooking and baking. For example it explains the chemical changes in leavening, emulsions, and so much more. It talks about the nature of plants, dairy, all of the cookingmethods. Oh I dont think the author missed a single detail in this hows, whys, and whos of cooking. I highly recommended it to keep in your house.
 Good August 12, 2008
It is a good book but I do not recommend it for new cooks.

This is a really good book. I recommend this book to anyone in the food industry. If you read this book and use the information, you will have a better understanding of cooking. If you plan on becoming a chef, this book will help you be a step further than other.
top stuff July 17, 2008
I think it's important to point out this book is realively small for the degree of degtail it contains. If you want to find out the answers to a great deal of cullinary questions without wading through highly verbose food science texts, then this is your book. It is certainly Europe centric.
"On Food and Cooking" by Harold McGee July 17, 2008
This book is not for the faint of heart or the casual cook or reader! This is a most complete reference work on the art and science of cooking. If you ever wondered what happens to the food stuff when you cook it or why you do or don't add certain things together while preparing a dish this volume has all your answers. This is not a bedside reader but an excellent addition to your cookbook collection and reference shelf.
