Harold McGee, On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen (2004), was fully revised and updated since its original publication in 1984. It was among the first books to introduce the science behind cooking to a larger audience of home cooks and professional chefs. Among the many books on molecular gastronomy in particular are Hervé This, Building a Meal: From Molecular Gastronomy to Culinary Constructivism, trans. by Malcolm DeBevoise (2009), Kitchen Mysteries: Revealing the Science of Cooking, trans. by Jody Gladding (2007), and Molecular Gastronomy: Exploring the Science of Flavor, trans. by M.B. DeBevoise (2006). Nathan Myhrvold, Chris Young, and Maxime Bilet, Modernist Cuisine, 6 vol. (2011), is a thorough overview of the techniques and technology of cooking. Peter Barham, The Science of Cooking (2001), is likewise an introduction to better cooking through science.
