Spectacular timing--I've been trying to find my physical copy of this book with no success. Happy to burn some Amazon credits to get a digital copy. Thanks OP!

Can't recommend this book highly enough. There's not a single recipe in it, but it will change the way you cook and how you think about food.

I remember there was a newspiece a few years ago about the Harvard course on science of food based on this book - students complained bitterly that they actually had to do the work to do well in the course.

On the other hand, for those willing to put in the work, this book teaches you a thing or two. Highly recommended.

Is this good as an ebook? I feel like a cooking book might be better as a physical copy? Or am I missing something. Heard a lot of good things about this book. Thanks

Great book, substantial reference and not something you can read cover to cover. If you're good with that on the ebook format then this is a great deal; otherwise it's not hard to find a decent used copy for next to nothing given that this is a popular title that's be out for decades.

This is the book that all of your favorite internet chefs plagiarize and pass off as their own. Looking directly at you J. Kenji Lopez-Alt...
