Hey guys,
/ck/ is a shithole
Recommend me some good cookbooks? Preferably some that really go into food science. There are thousands of shitty cookbooks with fancy covers with no valuable information inside. You know the books. NYT Bestsellers. White open wasteful spaces. "Artistic" sans serif fonts. I desire a book with substance.

A bit unorthodox but The Vegetarian Flavor Bible by Karen Page, there's also a non veg one. It tells you flavor associations based on ingredients instead of recipes.

Cool
I have always found food science horribly undeveloped. An entire sense basically left to guessing games about "flavor"

Painfully cringe in the way he uses nu-slang, but I appreciate his efforts into debloating the web. Thanks

Art of Fermentation is good it's the book that made me want to make this thread. A little pop-sci but good detail. Thanks for the list I will check them out.
If not online, I'll make sure to scan them

if you're only going to spend on one book in that list, I recommend Chamberlain's Bouquet de France. it's a cookbook but also a motor tour of a post-war France that doesn't exist anymore. the author collected recipes from hotels and inns while describing the regions of France along the way. really good book.

I think "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" was some bestseller list, even got a subpar netflix miniseries, but it's actually legit. Teaches you not just recipes, but how to use the titular basic flavor components to shape your cooking. All packaged in a neat narrative.
