A kitchen classic for nearly 35 years.Hailed by Time magazine as a minor masterpiece when it first appeared in 1984, On Food and Cooking is the bible to which food lovers and professional chefs worldwide turn 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.

As Advertised
Color: 5535-HP-white
The watch is what I expected, and works upon receipt as advertised. At this price, if it only works for 4-6 months it's easily worth the money. Large, nice looking face, day/date. Wristband is what you'd expect, but adequate and comfortable.

Dies after a Year
Color: 5566-ZP-white face
Watch worked fine for about a year, then just stopped working - just like that. No amount of shaking or gentle impacts would get it to start ticking again.
I'd also say my biggist issue with it was it was always difficult to tell which hand was the second hand and which hand was the minute hand since they're both the same color and thickness. Wish the hour and minute hands were a little thicker so they'd stand out a little better and/or that the minute hand was a different color so it was offset. Resulted in having to study the watch to get the time instead of a quick glimpse to see what time it was. Irritating after a while.
