Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking is a kitchen classic. Hailed by Time magazine as "a minor masterpiece" when it first appeared in 1984, On Food and Cooking is the bible to which food lovers and professional chefs worldwide turn for an understanding of where our foods come from, what exactly they're made of, and how cooking transforms them into something new and delicious.
Now, for its twentieth anniversary, Harold McGee has prepared a new, fully revised and updated edition of On Food and Cooking. He has rewritten the text almost completely, expanded it by two-thirds, and commissioned more than 100 new illustrations. As compulsively readable and engaging as ever, the new On Food and Cooking provides countless eye-opening insights into food, its preparation, and its enjoyment.
On Food and Cooking pioneered the translation of technical food science into cook-friendly kitchen science and helped give birth to the inventive culinary movement known as "molecular gastronomy." Though other books have now been written about kitchen science, On Food and Cooking remains unmatched in the accuracy, clarity, and thoroughness of its explanations, and the intriguing way in which it blends science with the historical evolution of foods and cooking techniques.
Among the major themes addressed throughout this new edition are:
Traditional and modern methods of food production and their influences on food quality
The great diversity of methods by which people in different places and times have prepared the same ingredients
Tips for selecting the best ingredients and preparing them successfully
The particular substances that give foods their flavors and that give us pleasure
Our evolving knowledge of the health benefits and risks of foods
On Food and Cooking is an invaluable and monumental compendium of basic information about ingredients, cooking methods, and the pleasures of eating. It will delight and fascinate anyone who has ever cooked, savored, or wondered about food.

精彩书评
"In this long-awaited revision of his classic On Food and Cooking (1984), McGee has incorporated current information and covers a greater range of ingredients and how they can be prepared to develop their diverse flavors. To McGee, learning about the chemistry of foods encourages cooks to rely less on recipes and more on their own understanding of what happens to food in the skillet or the freezer. Ultimately, he believes, cooks become more confident and creative. Whether that is their goal or not, serious home cooks and professionals will repeatedly turn to this unique resource for technical details and in-depth information on everything from storing olive oils to the molecular composition of fruits. Beginning cooks who want just a smattering of food science can use Alton Brown's I'm Just Here for the Food: Food+Heat=Cooking for its basic techniques and recipes. This new edition will be in demand for years to come and should be purchased by larger public and academic libraries to give their cookery collections currency and depth."

霜入到槽内见马匹并不多,自己那匹小黑子独占一槽,所有的马都离它远远,知道过去那小二之言不差,这驴儿果是狠得厉害,当时捏口轻吹了一声,小黑子顿时惊觉,一扒四足跑近,依恋十分,叶砚霜抚摸了它一阵,找到了自己鞍子与它配好,轻轻牵出,又把大门带上,越墙入内关好,再越墙而出,抖动丝绳,这小黑子四蹄如风,只一瞬间己跑出这六旗镇,回顾前尘,住事如烟,真个是人生如梦,茫茫深夜何所去从…

铁蝶一面用手整理一下秀发,含笑说道:“你又不是女孩子,这么爱花!” 江元脸上一红,说道:“花儿又不是只让你们女孩子爱的!” 江元这句话多少含有点稚意,因为他才不过19岁,孩子气尚未脱尽。 铁蝶又笑了起来,说道:“你的话倒怪有理的……不过我发现你最爱菊花,为什么?” 江元被她一问,一时也回答不出来,沉吟了一下,说道:“菊花很高雅,香味也很清远,同时,我师父也喜欢菊花!” 铁蝶点点头,因江元提到花蝶梦,铁蝶怕引起他的感伤,便没有接下去。 他们沉默了一下,江元想到那张纸条,忖道:“是不是要问问她呢?” 虽然江元猜测纸条是铁蝶写的,可是他却又不敢如此断定。 如果是铁蝶写的,这样问会不会太冒味了? 如果不是她写的,那么不是泄露了一个秘密吗? 江元犹豫了半天,他始终没有问出口来。 铁蝶由小树上摘了一片枯叶,在手中玩弄着,轻声道:“你…
