Fundamentals, techniques, foods, preparations, flavors... the kitchen contains endless secrets in which science and history are linked to reveal extraordinary stories. Enjoy them from the hand of a masterful disseminator, Moncho Nuñez who, in addition to explaining fabulous scientific concepts and unique culinary processes, also tells us about the goodness of pleasure; the advantages of curiosity in new sensory experiences; the fruit of patience and perseverance in slow-fire preparations; the success of creativity and innovation with unknown formulas; or the essential presence of a critical sense that helps us discern what we like or dislike. The work is full of references to history, economy, traditions, art, religion, sociology, language, philosophy and many other subjects that arouse the curiosity of any scientific mind. Plus, it does not forget the technological vision of the kitchen, as a laboratory for experimentation with instruments, tools, procedures, raw materials, recipes and personal experience. Bon appetit!
