Description

This book provides a playground for the readers to practice and develop scientific thinking, by exploring the world of food in a fun way.

The authors take the role of someone trying to find interesting questions to ask about familiar, though often hidden, phenomena.

Claims (or myths) on everyday cooking provide numerous cases for this.

Using popular cooking myths as a springboard, this book discusses these riddles, interweaving a scientific rationale for the phenomena with a culinary or craftsman explanation.

This book covers not only science (physics, chemistry, biology) but also cultural aspects (tradition, history, emotion), of what food/cooking is all about.
