Book Reviews of Kitchen Chemistry
Book Review: Great Basic Chemistry book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because it is written in part by Heston Blumenthal. I have most of his other works and I really enjoy the way he walks through the creation of a dish. It is sort of like a more advanced, no worry about being pretentious, version of Cook's Illustrated. I really enjoy Cook's Illustrated but at times they seem limited by worrying about being pretentious. With Heston Blumenthal's lists of equipment and ingredients in various books, he is clearly not worried about this. He wants to have fun and make the best dish he can.
Summary of Kitchen Chemistry
The chemistry of food and cooking is just one example of the many roles chemistry plays in our everyday lives. This topic provides an exciting context for some familiar chemistry and a way to engage students with the subject. Kitchen Chemistry contains a wide variety of activities, from class practicals and demonstrations to reading comprehension and paper-based exercises. Each activity deals with an aspect of the chemistry of food and/or cooking. The material is suitable for a wide range of ages, from primary to post-16, and helps reinforce the idea that everything is made of chemicals and that there is no difference between 'man-made' and 'natural' chemicals.
