   The Cliff notes...
H arold was the master of kitchen science. Most chefs use his book as a reference. The fun stories woven into this are to amuse and educate the reader.A gift for a serious cook who doesn't want to be overwhelmed by the full text.

   Very informative book!
It is interesting to see the last quarter of a century's progress in the studies because some of the information in section 2 of the book is out of date with modern science and medicine.

   Interesting Reading But A Bit Too Academic
T his approach to cooking is an academic one. He posed interesting cooking questions and then shared his research and conclusions. In the beginning of the book he asks how legit the idea of keeping in the juices is, and concludes that it is sometimes a good thing to do. He is knowledgeable and a good writer but I found some of the writing to be a bit dry and tedious.I was skipping pages to get to the more interesting stuff. The book's questions and conclusions were interesting and I think it's a worthwhile book. The reader at times has to plow, so I would recommend it.

   Interesting but not Practical
An interesting book, but not what I was looking for. It's time in some concepts is far ahead of it's time. In 1990 there was a realization that fat isn't the killer that society has made it out to be.A realization that we should be eating grass fed beef. Amazingly progressive and insightful. If you are looking for interesting cooking techniques and ideas this book is not for you.A better book would be the kitchen as a laboratory.
