book rec
I am reading this book about the history and science of food and it is extremely fascinating. The process by which a hen lays an egg is amazing. I have learned a lot so far that has bolstered my cooking knowledge and skills. I checked it out from the library but due to its size I will buy a copy so I can have plenty of time to read it cover to cover.

The science of cooking is one of the reasons I like "Cook's Illustrated" magazine. Not just excellent recipes but the reasons *why* things cook the way they do.
All their cook books are good too but the magazine is my favorite food porn.
