Modernist Cuisine
is a massive six-volume, 2,438-page book set that looks to ”reinvent cooking.” Heavily illustrated using thousands of original images, Modernist Cuisine, helps distinguish the science and technology of modern cooking. “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 hydrocolloids, emulsifiers, and enzymes. It is a work destined to reinvent cooking.”
The book looks to have sold of its first printing. A second printing is on the way. Amazon offers a few remaining copies. Many are considering this the be all, end all in cooking tomes. Prices in at just around $500 for the collection. For serious chefs….

I think this set is ridiculously overpriced for what it provides. Granted, to some degree the set supports basic science. But the price charged is far and above anything I ever paid for a biology, organic chemistry, or physics books, which contained far more data than these books do. The set is beautiful, but is lacking on information for the price.
And to be clear, this price is easily *5Xs*!!! what is should be.
