"With its zest for the truth, this book will help cooks learn how to make more intelligent choices." (Publishers Weekly)
"Wolke...is one of the great demystifiers of scientific information." (BusinessWeek)
"Very interesting"
This was an incredibly interesting book. Right up there with "a short history of nearly everything". Worth listening to, although probably hard going to read.
