I love cooking, but I love collecting cookbooks even more. I have a pretty sizeable collection but I don't spend nearly enough time in the kitchen to justify a purchase like this. That doesn't mean I'm not super curious about what's inside the pages of probably one of the most expensive cookbooks ever . . .
http://modernistcuisine.com/
* 2,438 pages over 5 volumes
* 43 pounds
* 3 years in the making
* 26 chapters covering topics like food safety to the physics of food and water
“A visual roller coaster through the world of food and cooking tools ... For the professional chef, modernist or not, it will be an invaluable reference. For the cooking geek with $625 to spare ($467.62 online), it will be endless fun. As a physical object it is remarkable; sometimes I found myself simply staring at the block of books.... Nothing seems to have been spared on the quality of the photo reproduction, on heavy stock with solid binding.”
—Michael Ruhlman, The New York Times
“A masterpiece...the most important cookbook of the first ten years of the 21st century.”
—Gourmand World Cookbook Awards
“To describe Modernist Cuisine as 'a cookbook' is a bit like describing Mount Everest as a hill. With 2,438 pages, 3,216 full color photographs and 1.1 million words, Modernist Cuisine will surely be the longest, most thorough examination of food ever published.”
