Food Science

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

Another science which would perhaps be the most comprehensive way to not only use analytical skills, but teacher the general population that are not scientists how to methodically cook almost anything by learning simple facts and concepts.

Unlike Home economics, the commonly referred to class in high school about cooking food, the aim of this book is to use a hopefully illustrative style to teach about the basic chemical and physiological composition of food. Using the alton brown guide to molecular gastronomy, we aim to teach you how food is generally made.

Of course, our mission is to

"Teach you how to cook, not simply teach you how to read recipes"
