Join Professor Richard Zare of the Stanford University Chemistry Department and Dr. Harold McGee, author of "On Food and Cooking" as they discuss the scientific approach to cooking. As a book, "Joy of Cooking" has sold over 18 million copies. As a philosophy, it has enriched countless fine meals. Author Hal McGee and chemist Dick Zare contend that science intensifies the joy of cooking. From boiling water to baking a soufflé, scientific insights can inform and enhance most every kitchen experience.
