Su questo libro

Recensione:

"I think Harold McGee has single-handedly contributed to modern cuisine like no other person has. We constantly look to him for guidance and information as we continue to grow as cooks and explore new techniques. In his new book, Keys to Good Cooking, he provides us with clear and definite answers to all our why questions, when in the past we were just told or taught to do things a certain way. Harold has given us a true understanding of the interaction foods have with one another--he is the most important authority on the subject."
—Thomas Keller, The French Laundry and Per Se
