The Curious Cook: More Kitchen Science and Lore CustomerReview

Harold McGee is probably the most frequently cited author in American literature, cuisine today. Alton Brown literally genuflect at the mention of his name, and complains that it is difficult to find a subject on which Mr. McGee not been explored in detail. His main work, On Food and Cooking "seems to be in the short list of the Culinary Institute of America references for their students, in addition references.pThis Escoffier and his work," The Curious Cook 'a bit different thatother work, despite the subtitle More "Kitchen Science and Lore." The largest book is largely theoretical. If this book is largely experimental and the subtitle of the book are the first and longest section, "Playing With Food". The lesson here is perhaps the most important lesson you can learn in any business. That is, if in doubt, try a little experiment. When I studied philosophy, this largely took the form of thought experiments, not unlike the development ofa science fiction plot. "What would happen if people were not artificial human organic. The result is the story of" Blade Runner. "When I was working with chemistry, this step was obvious. Strangely, I had to learn the lesson again if I became a professional programmer. It took several years and more than a couple of books valued at prototyping code to get even for some simple algorithms. All this means that if you can try to cook, isWith the objective to see if something works. My favorite example is in production and make use of a simple béchamel sauce to macaroni and cheese cream sauce or beef cut without break.pI constantly watch the ignorance behind some common mistakes by a very good professional chefs who have established themselves as celebrities Marvel educators on various TV cooking shows. I think the most common is the claim that the meat in a hot skillet, brown the meat SearsSeal in moisture. This information is not correct is the subject of the first chapter of McGee, where a simple kitchen scale, which shows how common sense if someone with some knowledge of physics. Application of high heat reduces the moisture in the flesh. The document was published before the Food Network, a gleam in his eyes network operators, and even Emeril, Tyler and Rachael and Wolfgang also repeat these mistakes on a regular basis. The fortunate thing about this statement is thatBrowning meat or other food for that matter, has a very important advantage that has developed in the flavor through caramelization and the Maillard reaction. come from design or accident, the statement by the Maillard reaction in the very last chapter of the book, which provides the reason why we have food for Searing millennia.pThere are other books that deal with food and science. Some of the latest and most popular are "Cookwise" by Shirley Corriher, "I'm here just for the food" by AltonBrown, and "What Einstein to his cook," says Robert Wolke. All these works are exceptionally good books. But none of these works give the kind of encouragement and kind of instructions needed to get answers to your culinary own.pOne notice may be to find. Science, ie, the method of experimentation and observation has developed the most effective way to answer questions and acquire knowledge, But It is certainly not enough to make you an excellent cook. For example, I like AltonBrown "Good Eats" show, and I often his recipes, but if I see something other than Mario Batali Alton, I always use Mario's recipe or method, rather than Brown's proposal. The heart of the reason for this is that Mario Batali is very, very good and professional chef Alton Brown is not. Preparing food is a refined mix of knowledge and artistic expression. professional chefs know the best ways for the things most coveted culinary result, it can also makeif you do not know the scientific explanation of why it matters in a certain way.pI will warn you that some of the essays in Parts II and III, a bit 'too long on reflection and a bit' short on practical application. I can also get some of these sections are just to say, a bit 'boring. Despite this, the first section, "Playing with Food more essays' on aluminum and the Maillard reaction, all pure gold for foodie.pVery dedicated highly recommended for anyone interestedEssen.
