Nathan Myhrvold and the culinary wizards at The Cooking Lab
redefined what a cookbook can be with Modernist Cuisine:
The Art and Science of Cooking, heralded by the James
Beard Foundation as Cookbook of the Year and a
once-in-a-lifetime publishing event for anyone who is
passionate about food and cooking. Now the same team has
produced The Photography of Modernist Cuisine, a
feast for the eyes that serves up the beauty of food through
innovative and striking photography. Simple ingredients,
eclectic dishes, and the dynamic phenomena at work in the
kitchen are transformed into vivid, arresting art in 300
giant images. With spreads nearly 60% larger than those in
Modernist Cuisine and art-book printing on the
highest quality paper, The Photography of Modernist
Cuisine will be a prized possession and a treasured
gift for food-lovers, photo-buffs, and anyone who
appreciates the natural beauty of food and the joy of seeing
it from intriguing new perspectives. The hundreds of
jaw-dropping photographs include some of the most amazing
images from Modernist Cuisine and Modernist
Cuisine at Home as well as many new and unpublished
photos. Witness the intricate inner details of a blueberry,
the time-frozen chaos inside a spice grinder, and the
hypnotizing interplay of color and patterns in the
juxtaposed flesh and skin of a salmon. See the magical view
of a boiling pot of vegetables in canning jars sliced
through the middle, and marvel at the levitating layers of
Modernist grilled-cheese sandwiches. The images stand on
their own, but readers can follow their curiosity to
illuminating descriptions in the back of the book that delve
into the stories, techniques, and science behind each
photo. The Photography of Modernist Cuisine
also takes you into The Cooking Lab s revolutionary kitchen
and its photo studio on a visual tour that reveals the
special equipment and techniques the Modernist Cuisine team
uses to create its culinary inventions and spectacular
images. Aspiring photographers will find useful tips on how
to frame and shoot their own professional-quality
photographs of food in both the restaurant and the home.
With its previous award-winning books, The Cooking Lab
wowed critics and media by demonstrating new ways to cook
and eat; now watch as the inventive minds of Modernist
Cuisine transform the way that we look our meals. It s food,
as you ve never seen it before.
