● 改變全球廚房的傳奇之書

  25年前,哈洛德.馬基(Harold McGee)首創以科學探討烹飪,將廚藝由藝術和文化提昇至科學領域,讓《食物與廚藝》甫一推出立刻掀起風潮,席捲並影響了美、加、英、法各地。《食物與廚藝》重新賦予食物更深刻的科學意義和文化風貌,發動革命建立了民眾對烹飪的新態度、新觀念,連電視節目也開始製作廚房科學的節目,不僅帶動「廚房科學」風潮,也催生了現今當紅的「分子美食」!

● 四分之一世紀 歷久不衰

  如今歷經四分之一世紀,《食物與廚藝》仍是國際三星級大廚奉為圭臬的重要寶典,於2004年新增近600頁內容後,再掀高潮。再沒有哪一本書,將食材描述得如此詳盡精確、將變化講解得這麼深入淺出,並將專業的飲食科學成功轉化為大眾普遍接受和理解的廚房科學知識。人類食物的起源、構成,以及各種食材如何透過廚藝變身為誘人美食的過程,盡收於此。

● 導覽飲食的文明與奧秘

  《食物與廚藝》是全世界美食愛好者和職業廚師的「聖經」,連結了烹飪與科學,從各色食材的化學組成,探究滋味、香氣、質地、顏色和營養,如同牛津大學的物理學家暨食物愛好者尼可拉斯.克提(Nicholas Kurti)所言:「我們有能力著手測量金星的大氣溫度,而且還真的這麼做了,卻不知道舒芙蕾內部發生什麼反應。」《食物與廚藝》從我們未曾想像過的科學之窗窺探廚房實驗室的神奇變化,透視人類歷來飲食的文明,宛如廚房中的羅塞塔石碑,完美呈現了生命延續的無窮奧秘與無邊魅力。

  原書厚達近900頁,從人類生命起源的乳汁,到文明發展後的飲料、甜點,各種食材皆有鉅細靡遺的介紹。《食物與廚藝:奶、蛋、肉、魚》的內容包括乳與乳製品、蛋類、肉類、海鮮等葷食,以及烹調方法與相關器具、四種基本的食物分子(水、蛋白質、脂質、碳水化合物)和化學入門等。
