Book Reviews of The Science of Cooking

Book Review: For all those adults who still ask why?
Summary: 5 Stars

I love it when all those dry science facts can be linked together to explain things we see around us. This book is full of those experiences. The science is well explained and there are panels with more complicated explanations for those with more than a basic knowledge. The book has inspired me to experiment with the various methods of cooking - just finished baking a sponge so I could try the idea of dropping the cake when you take it out of the oven to stop it sinking!
