Building A Meal

Building a Meal: From Molecular Gastronomy to Culinary Constructivism by Hervé This explores the science and philosophy behind cooking. Hervé This, the internationally renowned chemist and pioneer of molecular gastronomy, invites readers into the laboratory of taste, texture, and creativity.

Using six classic bistro dishes, hard-boiled egg with mayonnaise, consommé, leg of lamb with green beans, steak with French fries, lemon meringue pie, and chocolate mousse, This unpacks the chemistry that makes them work. But more than science, he explores how cooking connects memory, creativity, and imagination, showing that the art of constructing a meal can be just as rewarding as eating it.

Part cookbook, part scientific study, part philosophy of food, Building a Meal is an inspiring read for chefs, food lovers, and anyone curious about the alchemy of the kitchen.
