The Science of Cooking
Resources that tell you what's really going on in your pots and pans.
- On Food and Cooking - the Science and Lore of the Kitchen by Harold McGee. This is a bible of all the science behind every kind of food you can imagine. This is a tour de force that every food hacker should have.
- Modernist Cuisine and Modernist Cuisine at Home by Nathan Myhrvold, et al. A billionaire hires top chefs and a warehouse of top end equipment to figure out how to make the best of every recipe. In the five volume set you find that five star potato salad takes six days to make and involves both a centrifuge and a roto-vap. In the At Home volume they present recipes using techniques you can do at home.
- Harvard University has a large number of lectures videos online that cover food and cooking. As an example, the one with José Andrés on gelation is fascinating.
