About this product

Product Information

J. Kenji Lopez-Alt shows that cooks don't need a state-of-the-art kitchen to cook perfect meals. In a book centred on much-loved dishes, Kenji explores the science behind searing, baking, blanching and roasting. In hundreds of easy-to-make recipes with over 1,000 full-colour images illustrating step-by-step instructions, readers will find out how to make perfect roast turkey with crackling skin, how to make extra fluffy or creamy scrambled eggs and much more. Combining the unrelenting curiosity of a cheerful science geek with the expert knowledge of a practised chef, The Food Lab gives readers practical tools and new approaches to apply when they next step into the kitchen.

    Never has cooking and science been so interesting. The author busts many of the myths around cooking techniques. Everything we have tried has been a success so far.

  • A must on the cooking shelf

    I should have bought it earlier, far earlier! A real mine of information with explanations of the why's and how's. I'll sure learn even more things, though I am rather an experienced home little chef, thanks to this book. Fast-food and junk-food lovers, move along! :-)
