About the Book

Nature converts molecules into edible structures, most of which are then transformed into products in factories and kitchens. Tasty food structures enter our mouths and different sensations invade our bodies. By the time these structures reach our cells, they have been broken back down into molecules that serve as fuel and raw materials for our bod

Review :
"Students of gastronomy, nutrition, and food technology will find this well-illustrated book a splendid resource to augment their textbooks, and even serve as one. …basically the book is about the molecules that are shaped into the structures (and fluids, odors, and colors) that delight and nurture us. … Highly recommended. All readership levels. –M Kroger, emeritus, Pennsylvania State University, University Park Campus in CHOICE Magazine "The approach taken by the author is to discuss in a simple, narrative manner the industry, biochemistry, physiology, including taste of food constituents and what that means to us. Mixed with stories, it is a very pleasant but also instructive reading. With many references. Recommended to people who like to cook, eat, and advise on nutrition." —Professor Zvi Laron, Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 10, No. 4, July 2013
