Nathan Myhrvold, founder of The Cooking Lab, co-author of Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking and Modernist Cuisine at Home, and author of The Photography of Modernist Cuisine, has had a passion for science, cooking, and photography since he was a boy. By the age of 13, Nathan had already cooked the family Thanksgiving feast and transformed the household bathroom into a darkroom.

"Modernist Cuisine is a landmark contribution to the craft of cooking and our understanding of its underlying principles. Its scale, detail, and eye-opening graphics are unmatched by any other book on the subject. It will be an invaluable resource for anyone with a serious interest in cooking techniques, whether through professional innovations of the last few decades or the long traditions on which they build." - Harold McGee

"The most astonishing cookbook of our time." - Katy McLaughlin, Wall Street Journal

"Big, beautiful, and worth the hype... it is the answer to everything you wanted to know about cooking, not to mention so many things you never thought about." - Andreas Viestad, The Washington Post
