Jenn A, Librarian
For fan's of Alton Brown's Good Eats! In fact (I only learned after I finished this) - the author of this book made guest appearances on that show. While this book does have a smattering of recipes, it's far from a cookbook. Instead, it will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about food science (and plenty you didn't know to ask about). How do proteins cook and what do varying cooking methods do differently? Do vegetables really lose nutrient when they cook? Why are my cakes coming out wrong?
