Ever wondered what modified starch is and why it’s in so much of the food we buy? What do instant mashed potatoes and freeze-dried coffee have in common? What’s the real truth behind the five-second rule? And as the world population grows and the pressure on agriculture to produce more cost-effective and sustainable products increases, what could the future hold for both farmers and consumers? From mind-boggling microbiology to ingenious food processing techniques and gadgets, The Science of Food takes a look at the details that matter when it comes to what we eat and how we cook, and lays bare the science behind how it all works. By understanding the chemistry, physics and biology of the food we cook, buy and prepare, we can all become better consumers and happier cooks!

Review:
Just when you thought there was nothing more to be said or written about the food we eat and how we cook it, along comes this delightfully captivating book that turns your kitchen into a chemistry lab. Jopson overturns many widely-held beliefs and makes the mundane fascinating, from the science behind instant mash, mayonnaise and processed cheese, to why we crave chocolate and hate sprouts. Oh, and the five second rule is nonsense. I've already been dining out on the facts in this little jewel - - Jim Al Khalili
Well tasty, and fascinating to boot. Wish I'd written it - - Stefan Gates
All in all this is a delightful cheese soufflé of a book. Light and tasty but enough content to satisfy the appetite for information - - PopularScience.co.uk
