Cooking for Geeks
Most geeks would rather tinker and investigate than be handed step-by-step instructions, and that's true for more than just code and gadgetry. Cooking for Geeks ($23) brings this philosophy into the kitchen, offering up instructions on how to set up the needed tools, information about the hows of cooking — including protein denaturation and caramelization — and insights from fellow geek cooks.
