While many books proliferate elucidating the science behind the transformations during cooking none teach the concepts of physics chemistry through problem solving based on culinary experiments as this one by renowned chemist and one of the founders of molecular gastronomy. Calculating and Problem Solving Through Culinary Experimentation offers an appealing approach to teaching experimental design and scientific calculations. Given the fact that culinary phenomena need physics and chemistry to be interpreted there are strong and legitimate reasons for introducing molecular gastronomy in scientific curriculum. As any scientific discipline molecular gastronomy is based on experiments (to observe the phenomena to be studied) and calculation (to fit the many data obtained by quantitative characterization of the studied phenomena) but also for making the theoretical work without which no real science is done including refuting consequences of the introduced theories. Often no difficult calculations are needed and many physicists in particular make their first steps in understanding phenomena with very crude calculations. Indeed they simply apply what they learned before moving to more difficult math. In this book the students are invited first to make simple experiments in order to get a clear idea of the (culinary) phenomena that they will be invited to investigate and then are asked simple questions about the phenomena for which they have to transform their knowledge into skills using a clear strategy that is explained throughout. Indeed the is problem solving based on experiments and all this about food and cooking. Key Features: Introduces readers to tips for experimental work Shows how simple scientific knowledge can be applied in understanding questions Provides a sound method (strategy) for calculation in physics and chemistry Presents important definitions and laws for physical chemistry Gives confidence in one’s calculation skill and problem solving skills Explore physical and chemical phenomena that occur during cooking A unique mix of culinary arts and correct calculations this book is useful to students as well as professors in chemistry physics biology food science and technology.

Sellers offer a range of delivery options, so you can choose the one that’s most convenient for you. Many sellers offer free delivery. You can always find the postage cost and estimated delivery date in a seller’s listing. You'll then be able to see a full list of delivery options during checkout. These can include: Express delivery, Standard delivery, Economy delivery, Click & Collect, Free local collection from seller.
Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
