……他推荐的那些设备，但它让烹饪对我来说变得很有趣，还帮我妻子从一个业余爱好者变成了能跟专业大厨一较高下的人。我真是太幸运了 :)[1] http://www.amazon.com/Modernist-Cuisine-Home-Nathan-Myhrvold...
…gear he recommends but it made cooking fun for me and helped my wife go from an amateur enthusiast to someone who can hold their own with professional chefs. I'm very lucky:) [1] http://www.amazon.com/Modernist-Cuisine-Home-Nathan-Myhrvold...
顺便说一句，Myhrvold 确实凭他那套巨无霸终极食谱《现代主义烹调》（Modernist Cuisine）对美食界做出了货真价实的巨大贡献，所以得知他的主业其实是个吸血混蛋时，我挺难过的。
Relatedly, Myhrvold did actually make a really genuinely huge contribution to cuisine with his gigantic ubercookbook Modernist Cuisine, and so it makes me sad that he turns out to be a bloodsucking asshole by trade.
……Harold McGee 写的《食物与厨艺》（Food and Cooking），也许是最有趣的非食谱类食品科学书籍之一了。这书不是那种你会一口气从头读到尾的书，但依然非常棒。Nathan Myhrvold 写的《现代主义烹调》（Modernist Cuisine）大概是最精美的一套食谱了，虽然贵得要命。Alan Revere 写的《专业金工》（Professional Goldsmithing）绝对是贵金属首饰制作领域最好的书之一……
…Food and Cooking by Harold McGee, is perhaps one of the more interesting books on food science that is not a cook book. It's not something that you would read straight through, but great none the less. Modernist Cuisine by Nathan Myhrvold is perhaps the most beautiful group of cook books, although quite pricey. Professional Goldsmithing by Alan Revere is hands down one of the best books on jewelry fabrication in precious…
在他的成就清单里还得加上一本严肃硬核的食谱。http://www.amazon.com/Modernist-Cuisine-Art-Science-Cooking/...
Add to his accomplishments a serious cookbook. http://www.amazon.com/Modernist-Cuisine-Art-Science-Cooking/...
他现在的某些成果依然让人印象深刻，甚至令人钦佩：http://www.amazon.com/Modernist-Cuisine-Art-Science-Cooking/... 现在要是他能把 IV 解散掉、一门心思搞烹饪就好了……
Parts of his present are still impressive, perhaps even admirable: http://www.amazon.com/Modernist-Cuisine-Art-Science-Cooking/... Now if he'd just dissolve IV and concentrate on the cooking...
我对 Myhrvold 的感情太复杂了：我对 Intellectual Ventures 以及他们的所作所为恨之入骨，但《现代主义烹调》（Modernist Cuisine）又确实是一部令人惊叹、具有开创性的艺术与科学巨作。现代主义的烧烤方法确实能稳定烤出很棒的肉，但直接把猪臀肉扔进陶土炉里慢火慢烤，味道也差不了多少，而且只要……
I'm so conflicted with Myhrvold: I hate Intellectual Ventures and what they do with the passion of a thousand suns, but Modernist Cuisine is an incredible and seminal work of art and science. The modernist methods for BBQ do consistently produce a great que, but throwing a butt on an egg slow and low tastes just about as good and takes…
