This $500 set of books (Yes, you read correctly, $500) includes the awesome (literally) 6-volume set of Myhrvold’s magnus opus as well as a discussion by the author.
In Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking, Nathan Myhrvold, Chris Young, and Maxime Bilet—scientists, inventors, and accomplished cooks in their own right—have created a six-volume 2,400-page set that reveals science-inspired techniques for preparing food that ranges from the otherworldly to the sublime.
The authors—and their 20-person team at The Cooking Lab—have achieved astounding new flavors and textures by using tools such as water baths, homogenizers, centrifuges, and ingredients such as hydro colloids, emulsifiers, and enzymes. It is a work destined to reinvent cooking. If you haven’t heard of Modernist Cuisine, Newsweek Magazine’s article last month will tell you all about it.
Call to reserve a seat: 415-282-4712 and your copy of the set. Or if you prefer to not buy the book just now and are willing to stand for the event, it’s free and open to all.
