On Food and Cooking
Author: Harold McGee
Publisher: Simon and Schuster

Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 898
Book Description
A kitchen classic for over 35 years, and hailed by Time magazine as "a minor masterpiece" when it first appeared in 1984, On Food and Cooking is the bible which food lovers and professional chefs worldwide turn to for an understanding of where our foods come from, what exactly they're made of, and how cooking transforms them into something new and delicious. For its twentieth anniversary, Harold McGee prepared a new, fully revised and updated edition of On Food and Cooking. He has rewritten the text almost completely, expanded it by two-thirds, and commissioned more than 100 new illustrations. As compulsively readable and engaging as ever, the new On Food and Cooking provides countless eye-opening insights into food, its preparation, and its enjoyment. On Food and Cooking pioneered the translation of technical food science into cook-friendly kitchen science and helped birth the inventive culinary movement known as "molecular gastronomy." Though other books have been written about kitchen science, On Food and Cooking remains unmatched in the accuracy, clarity, and thoroughness of its explanations, and the intriguing way in which it blends science with the historical evolution of foods and cooking techniques. Among the major themes addressed throughout the new edition are: · Traditional and modern methods of food production and their influences on food quality · The great diversity of methods by which people in different places and times have prepared the same ingredients · Tips for selecting the best ingredients and preparing them successfully · The particular substances that give foods their flavors, and that give us pleasure · Our evolving knowledge of the health benefits and risks of foods On Food and Cooking is an invaluable and monumental compendium of basic information about ingredients, cooking methods, and the pleasures of eating. It will delight and fascinate anyone who has ever cooked, savored, or wondered about food.

ISBN: 168106412X
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
Tuck into a steak as big as your plate at a stagecoach roadhouse that never stopped welcoming passersby, dine sumptuously at a restaurant awarded three Michelin stars within two years of its opening, or carry home empanadas from a kitchen connected to a gas station. With 81 more items to savor, you’ll have almost endless options to explore as you make your way through Unique Eats and Eateries of Sonoma County. Each page offers a story, the backstory of what makes the eats or eatery unique. Tales take you from the county’s wave-dashed coastline to its lush vineyard-quilted valleys. Along the way you’ll learn that before bountiful and beautiful Sonoma became known as wine country it was a renowned food basket. Unique Eats pays tribute to its heritage with Dungeness crab pulled from the sea, Gravenstein apple orchards fighting to save their place among the vines, and the distinct flavor of Crane melons. While not a guidebook in the traditional sense, local author Yvonne Michie Horn nevertheless will take you on a food-centered journey into the nooks and crannies of the entire county, stopping in along the way to become acquainted with chefs, restaurants, and great things to eat, all with a compelling story to tell.
