- Amazing!
- This book is simply amazing. It has to be the most useful utensil in any kitchen. As a scientist, I love the in-depth treatment that is given to almost every aspect of almost every edible thing on earth. It may not be the most appropriate book to everyone. You must be willing to dedicate a lot of effort to soak in all the knowledge available in it.

- I purchased this book as a gift to a friend with culinary interests. He was immediately smitten, as were other foody friends. It had been recommended to me by a friend in the culinary field as "a cooking bible"
