Harold McGee 的 On Food and Cooking 是厨房领域的经典之作。1984 年初次问世时便被 Time 杂志誉为“一部小巧的杰作”，On Food and Cooking 是全球美食爱好者和专业厨师探寻食物源头、确切成分以及烹饪如何将其转化为美味佳肴的必读宝典。值此出版二十周年之际，Harold McGee 推出了 On Food and Cooking 的全新全面修订更新版。他几乎对全文进行了重写，扩充了三分之二的篇幅，并委托绘制了更多

……也是。高压锅压出来的肉口感可能和传统做法不一样，但在我看来没那么难以接受。如果你喜欢这里贴心附上链接的这篇帖子，Harold McGee 的《On Food and Cooking》绝对是必读。
…in, as well. Pressure cooked meats can have a different texture than traditionally cooked ones, but it's not as objectionable in my mind. If you liked the post thoughtfully linked here, Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking is a must.

……希望这本书用的是公制单位。我最近读了《The Science of Good Cooking》，书很有意思，但不幸的是通篇用的都是美制单位，在我看来这让它显得非常不科学。Harold McGee 写的《On Food and Cooking》是另一本讲烹饪化学的佳作，我特别喜欢它的一点是它没有像我能想到的其他一些烹饪化学书那样硬装时髦或耍酷……
…hope that the book uses metric units. I recently read "The Science of Good Cooking", which was interesting but unfortunately used US units throughout, which makes it quite unscientific in my opinion. "On Food and Cooking" by Harold McGee is another great book about the chemistry of cooking, and I especially like it since it doesn't try hard to be hip or cool as opposed to some other books about cooking chemistry I could…
Kenji 太神了，大概也是看 seriouseats 最硬核的理由。但任何对食品科学感兴趣的人，真的都得从 Harold McGee 的经典之作《On Food and Cooking》开始：http://smile.amazon.com/Food-Cooking-Science-Lore-Kitchen/dp... （抱歉这个 URL 太长了。）另外，我还狂刷 Heritage Radio 广播电台 Dave Arnold 的播客《Cooking Issues》，简直是个宝藏……
Kenji is awesome, and probably the best reason to read seriouseats. But for anyone who enjoys food science, you really have to start with Harold McGee's classic "On Food and Cooking": http://smile.amazon.com/Food-Cooking-Science-Lore-Kitchen/dp... (Sorry for the enormous URL.) Also, I binge-listen to Dave Arnold's podcast, "Cooking Issues" on Heritage Radio network. A treasure…
……很多完全平常且无害的化合物（比如丁酸乙酯、瓦伦西亚烯）听起来名字都很吓人，而很多有毒化合物的名字听着却人畜无害。如果你想给自己补补课，不妨找一本 Harold McGee 的《On Food and Cooking》来看看，了解一下那些化合物到底是什么。或者你也可以到处大呼小叫一氧化二氢有多危险。反正我个人是一点都不会介意如果有人……
…lots of perfectly ordinary and harmless chemical compounds (e.g. ethyl butyrate, valencine) have scary-sounding names, and lots of toxic ones don't. If you want to educate yourself, pick up a copy of _On Food and Cooking_ by Harold McGee, and learn about what those compounds actually are. Or you can run around screaming about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide. I for one would not be the slightest bit bothered if somebody…
……把大把时间虚度在无意义的娱乐上，这种现象至少从自动演奏钢琴出现时就有了。尽管有索尔克脊灰疫苗、ARPA IMP、Google、干细胞移植、McGee 的《On Food And Cooking》，以及整个社会在深受娱乐侵害的同时所取得的一切成就作为反例，你完全可以坚持认为自己不仅比那些沉溺于娱乐的人更优秀……
…away hours on meaningless entertainments is at least as old as the mechanical player piano. Despite the countervailing evidence of the Salk Vaccine, the ARPA IMP, Google, stem cell transplants, McGee's _On Food And Cooking_, and everything else society has managed to accomplished while beset by the horrors of entertainment, you are welcome to hold the view that you are better not only than the people who avail themselves…
