Description: The science of cooking is the most fascinating and influential development in cuisine.

More than 200 illustrations and photographs help home cooks visualise the basic principles of food science. Also included are 100 recipes that demonstrate those principles, from how deep-frying works to how to keep red cabbage from turning blue.
