On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen by Harold McGee

3.0

The book is definitely a kitchen classic. I learned something from it, but it's not so much a book to read but more like an encyclopedia on food. I was probably expecting something different and hoping for some more concrete advice. Often the author sticks to fairly generic descriptions leaving it up to the reader to draw the (hopefully correct) conclusions.
