Cooking is one of the activities that makes humanity unique. It's not just about what tastes good; advances in cooking technology have been a constant part of our progress, from the ability to control fire to the emergence of agriculture to modern sciences understanding of what happens at a molecular level when we apply heat to food. Mastering new ways of feeding ourselves has resulted in leaps in longevity and explosions in population—and the potential of cooking science is still largely untapped.
