My first introduction to the Maillard reaction was in "Cooking For Geeks", which turned me on to cooking. It was no longer (just) a chore but a science/chemistry experiment that ended up being tasty! I'm including the link here because maybe it'll do the same for others.

- julesallen 6y agoNice work, Jeff. The chapter on eggs was literally a life changer. Or a breakfast changer for sure.
- marakv2 6y agoAs a chef and a geek I've been asked about your book by non chefs! Sadly I haven't read it yet, but I saw your link had the first two chapters for free so I'll give them a look tonight :-)
