Reseñas
Looked like an interesting book considering my strong sense of smell. Lots of information. Much technical including chemical compounds. Did not realize the number of different smell categories and types.
I can't believe I read the whole thing! This is a reference book, not really meant to be read cover to cover. A lot of great information about how cooking works, but not much fun to read, honestly.
This is a MUST-OWN book for everyone and anyone who cooks. I read all of it just by having it on my nightstand. Absolutely great and indispensable.

Appendix: A chemistry primer
I’ve enjoyed learning as I’ve read in this book. But it is really more of a reference book than a to-read book, so at 51% read I’m going to mark it off as read so I don’t keep feeling guilty for still having it in my currently-reading queue.… (más)
