Whether you know it or not, you become a chemist any time you step
into a kitchen. As you cook, you oversee intricate chemical
transformations that would test even the most hardened of
professional chemists. Focussing on how and why we cook different
dishes the way we do, this book introduces basic chemistry through
everyday foods and meal preparations. Through its unique
meal-by-meal organisation, the book playfully explores the
chemistry that turns our food into meals. Topics covered range from
roasting coffee beans to scrambling eggs and gluten development in
breads. The book features many experiments that you can try in your
own kitchen, such as exploring the melting properties of cheese,
retaining flavour when cooking and pairing wines with foods.
Through molecular chemistry, biology, neuroscience, physics and
agriculture, the author discusses various aspects of cooking and
food preparation. This is a fascinating read for anyone interested
in the science behind cooking.
