Cooking for Geeks
Are you the innovative type, the cook who marches to a different drummer, used to expressing your creativity instead of just following recipes? Are you interested in the science behind what happens to food while it is cooking? Do you want to learn what makes a recipe work so you can improvise and create your own unique dish?
More than just a cookbook, Cooking for Geeks applies your curiosity to discovery, inspiration, and invention in the kitchen. Why is medium-rare steak so popular? Why do we bake some things at 175C and others at 190C? And how quickly does a pizza cook if we overclock an oven to 540C?
Author and cooking geek Jeff Potter provides the answers and offers a unique take on recipes — from the sweet to the savoury.
Also available for the Kindle.
