This book is so much fun to read. It is really an old food science cookbook. It contains food science experiments and recipes as well as historical perspectives and techniques on cooking. To read it as a historical book is incredibly entertaining. Much of the information is outdated, and even the recipes like scalloped tomatoes are vintage, but again, the book gives nice peek into the past.
