Kitchen mysteries

International celebrity and founder of molecular gastronomy Herve This answers such fundamental questions as what causes vegetables to change colour when cooked and how to keep a souffle from falling. Sharing the empirical principles chefs have valued for generations, he shows how to adapt recipes to available ingredients and how to modify proposed methods to the utensils at hand. His revelations make difficult recipes easier and allow for even more creativity and experimentation in the kitchen.
