What Einstein Told His Barber: More Scientific… door Robert Wolke
NF
Un buen libro para saber un poco más de cosas cotidianas, contado de forma amena e incluso divertida. Los gags de humor son muy entretenidos.
This one was an interesting combination of reference and cookbook. Setup somewhat like a Q&A or FAQ, the author addresses popular questions about food, cooking, kitchen tools and busts a few urban myths. His answers are from a chemist's POV and as a professor emeritus of nuclear chemistry for U of Pittsburgh, I guess he knows what he's talking about.
The narrative is laid back and engaging: he might be a chemistry professor but Mr. Wolke was (is?) also a columnist for The Washington Post and most of the writing is chatty and humorous.
More than a couple of the recipes sound like they're worth trying, too.
Overall, I enjoyed the book quite a bit - enough that I'm going to look for this other works for future reads.… (meer)
