There’s no shortage of recipes available today and Keys to Good Cooking will help you make the most of them by telling you what works, and why.

Written by award-winning author Harold McGee, this book acts as a companion to your recipe books, providing answers to all your kitchen questions – How do I prevent my sauce from separating? At what point should I salt meat? What are the benefits of cooking ‘en papillotte’? – and distils modern scientific understanding of cooking into quick and reliable guidance.

Easy-to-use and authoritative, Keys to Good Cooking is a guide to the techniques, ingredients and gadgets with which you turn recipes into delicious meals.

Review: Readers find this cooking book packed with information and practical for those who cook frequently, with one noting it’s particularly suitable for culinary school students. Moreover, the book receives positive feedback for its clarity and usefulness in the kitchen, and one customer mentions it takes the mystery out of cooking. However, the writing quality receives mixed reviews, with some finding it well written while others disagree.

NOTE: this is an original book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
