For its twentieth anniversary, Harold McGee prepared a new, fully revised and updated edition

A kitchen classic for over 35 years, and hailed by Time magazine as "a minor masterpiece" when it first appeared in 1984, On Food and Cooking is the bible which food lovers and professional chefs worldwide turn to for an understanding of where our foods come from, what exactly they're made of, and how cooking transforms them into something new and delicious.

For its twentieth anniversary, Harold McGee prepared a new, fully revised and updated edition of On Food and Cooking. He has rewritten the text almost completely, expanded it by two-thirds, and commissioned more than 100 new illustrations. As compulsively readable and engaging as ever, the new On Food and Cooking provides countless eye-opening insights into food, its preparation, and its enjoyment.

On Food and Cooking pioneered the translation of technical food science into cook-friendly kitchen science and helped birth the inventive culinary movement known as "molecular gastronomy." Though other books have been written about kitchen science, On Food and Cooking remains unmatched in the accuracy, clarity, and thoroughness of its explanations, and the intriguing way in which it blends science with the historical evolution of foods and cooking techniques.

Among the major themes addressed throughout the new edition are:
· Traditional and modern methods of food production and their influences on food quality
· The great diversity of methods by which people in different places and times have prepared the same ingredients
· Tips for selecting the best ingredients and preparing them successfully
· The particular substances that give foods their flavors, and that give us pleasure
· Our evolving knowledge of the health benefits and risks of foods

On Food and Cooking is an invaluable and monumental compendium of basic information about ingredients, cooking methods, and the pleasures of eating. It will delight and fascinate anyone who has ever cooked, savored, or wondered about food.

Cute and soft
Size: One Size, Color: Tan, Size: One Size, Color: Tan
Returned it. It did not stay close. Wanted to use as a cute diaper bag alternative. But if you don’t carry a lot of stuff, it might work for you. Very cute butter, soft material.

Great bag, but...
Size: One Size, Color: Tan
This tote is good. Great size, looks more expensive than what it was and I have received compliment on it. The reason I gave three stars is that it does not stays closed! The magnets are just not strong enough to keep it closed.

Utilitarian-Simple and sleek
Size: One Size, Color: Tan
I needed a tote bag to carry a spiral bound notebook, credit card, keys, iPad or laptop and iPhone. It works. I got the brown color which works well with black and just about any other color. I like the external look...reminds me of the Coach bags without all the metal. The bag doesn't look like a $300 bag, but I didn't pay $300 either.
