Book Description
I first read this book as a graduate student, where it sparked a new appreciation for how science shapes everyday life, especially in the kitchen. Years later, as an associate professor, I returned to it during a renewed interest in cooking. It not only rekindled a personal passion but also reminded me of the joy of discovery that fuels both my professional and personal life.
