The Food Lab Better Home Cooking Through Science by J. Kenji L pez Alt.
The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science is a 2015 cookbook written by American chef J. Kenji Lopez-Alt. The book contains close to 300 savouryAmerican cuisine recipes.[3][4]The Food Lab expands on Lopez-Alt's 'The Food Lab' column on the Serious Eats blog.[3] Lopez-Alt uses the scientific method in the cookbook to improve popular American recipes[3] and to explain the science of cooking.[5]The Food Lab charted on The New York Times Best Seller list,[6] and won the 2016 James Beard Foundation Award for the best General Cooking cookbook[2] and the 2016 IACP awards for the Cookbook of the Year and the best American cookbook.[1]
Lopez-Alt developed the cookbook over a five-year period.[4] He described the book not as a recipe book but as 'a book for people who want to learn the hows and the whys of cooking'.[4] The recipes in The Food Lab are arranged by the technique used to prepare them.[7] The cookbook also contains charts and experiments aimed at explaining scientific concepts like the difference between temperature and energy and the Leidenfrost effect.[7]
Emily Weinstein of The New York Times wrote that 'the recipes are sophisticated in their grasp of how ingredients and techniques work' but noted that 'it is Mr. López-Alt’s original, living body of work online that to many may seem like his even greater achievement'.[3] Eric Vellend of The Globe and Mail wrote that 'Lopez-Alt's relentless pursuit of perfection yields hundreds of unconventional kitchen tricks'.[5] Silvia Killingsworth wrote in The New Yorker that The Food Lab resembles a 'hybrid reference text' more than a cookbook, and that 'Kenji’s appeal is that he channels the shameless geekery of hobbyists everywhere into inexpensive, everyday foods'.[7] Penny Pleasance of the New York Journal of Books called The Food Lab 'a seminal work that is encyclopedic in scope and can be used as a reference by even the most experienced home cooks'.[8]
