What Einstein Told His Cook: Kitchen Science Explained Audiobook

" Having checked it out from the library, I read it through over the course of a couple of weeks and have since forgotten many of the explanations for why we cook the way we do and with certain ingredients. Would be a great book to have handy on the kitchen shelf. "

" Definitely read if uyou love Alton Brown. "

" Wonderfully fascinating! Answers a multitude of questions who have probably wondered about and then just accepted -- along with some you should not have! "

" I am thoroughly enjoying this gustatory education. I've always loved cooking and now I love knowing how the things I put together interact to become food. I missed Wolke's column in The Washington Post, so this fills the niche nicely. A good pick-up-put-down and reference book. "

" Chock full of great tips for cooking and preparing food. It is quite comprehensive, but written in a question and answer form allows for ease of picking up anywhere. "

" Loads of fun and full of insightful information. "

" For those packrats of culinary factotums, this book is a dream. Wolke's writing style is immeasurably wise and at once entertaining. Each time I pick it up, I learn something new and find something funny in my own frailty of understanding coming into it. "

" Very interesting! Learned how things work...although every factoid I learned, my husband already knew... "

" I read the one written in Bahasa, titled "Kalo Enstein Jadi Koki". Robert L. Wolke proves that science can be explained in simple ways, and that anybody can learn science. He provokes us to realize that science is everywhere, so you'd better start to like it! "

" Very Good Eats type read. "

" an interesting book on cookery science. "

" This was so fun. I loved finding out that there are really reasons for using one method over another. My documentary self loved it. "

" A good collection of enlightening explanations of common about food science. A quick read and easily digestible. I would have rather done without Wolke's attempts at humor though. "

" cool book for anyone who spends time cooking. "

" This was a fun and interesting book. Wolke keeps the reader amused with witty stories while discussing the science of food. "
