“Modernist Cuisine at Home is destined to change the way we cook–and the way we use recipes. For all of us who cook regularly, this book opens up a whole new world of possibilities. It is full of insights that encourage us to try something new and that teach us something on every single page.” Martha Stewart “Mr. Myhrvold has a real sense for food, and his tips on how to dress a ‘great salad,’ shuck clams, and make beef jerky in a microwave will amaze and delight.” Wall Street Journal “Modernist Cuisine at Home offers useful techniques and solutions that expand our abilities, and it provides us with a practiced and thorough understanding of why things happen the way they do. Most importantly, it ignites a curiosity within and compels us to ask ourselves not ‘What should we make for dinner?’ but rather, ‘What can we make for dinner?’” Thomas Keller “This is a new beginning of science, technology, and creativity all mixed together to really create great flavors.” Wolfgang Puck
