Harold McGee is an excellent and engaging food science writer. I only wish this book were more given over to experimentation and not (as is the case) half of it meandering musings. Still recommended, though.
Not nearly as good as his first book, this one has one "experiment" per chapter and none of them are as satisfying as the more linear, textbook-paced writing of the first one.
