On Food and Cooking — Harold McGee
884 pages of food science. The book that taught chefs how cooking actually works.
On Food and Cooking is the definitive 884-page encyclopedia of food science, teaching the chemistry behind why bread rises and how caramelization differs from the Maillard reaction at specific temperatures, from 130°F to 212°F for an egg. A must-read for understanding food over mere preparation.
