Cooking food is one of the activities that makes humanity unique.
It's not just about what tastes good: advances in cooking
technology have been a constant part of our progress, from the
ability to control fire to the emergence of agriculture to modern
science's understanding of what happens at a molecular level when
we apply heat to food. Mastering new ways of feeding ourselves has
resulted in leaps in longevity and explosions in population-and the
potential of cooking science is still largely untapped. In Cook,
Taste, Learn, the food scientist and best-selling author Guy Crosby
offers a lively tour of the history and science behind the art of
cooking, with a focus on achieving a healthy daily diet. He traces
the evolution of cooking from its earliest origins, recounting the
innovations that have unraveled the mysteries of health and taste.
Crosby explains why both home cooks and professional chefs should
learn how to apply cooking science, arguing that we can improve the
nutritional quality and gastronomic delight of everyday eating.
Science-driven changes in the way we cook can help reduce the risk
of developing chronic diseases and enhance our quality of life. The
book features accessible explanations of complex topics as well as
a selection of recipes that illustrate scientific principles. Cook,
Taste, Learn reveals the possibilities for transforming cooking
from a craft into the perfect blend of art and science.
