   WoW this book is amazing and so worth the $200.00 I spent on it. The pages are amazing the cartoons just awesome, the stories behing the Duck is just amazing. The science that goes with the food youhave to be a nut just to read it.

   Really solid essays about the modern science of high-end cooking. Techniques well beyond my skill set, but I can't paint like DaVinci, yet still admire his work.

   Hard to give an unbiased opinion since I wrote a chapter... This book is a gorgeous exposition of Heston's version of Molecular Gastronomy. Even if I feel that I, and the world, have moved on to other things. It is a fitting memorial to a fun period that turned out to have a rather short shelf-life.

   it is an interesting book, brings forth the culinary imagination that throws away the idea that everything in cooking has already been done. i especially liked the first part of the book which tell's Chef Blumenthal's story on how he got to where he is. Many of the recipies have bee modified from the version they use in the actual resteraunt (inside source)but the chef mentions this as an attempt to make the recipies more succesful for the home cook. it is an interesting book, brings forth the culinary imagination that throws away the idea that everything in cooking has already been done. i especially liked the first part of the book which tell's Chef Blumenthal's story on how he got to where he is.

   I've had this book for a couple of years, but upon rereading it (and searching for something to cook for a special occasion), I'm reminded of how fascinating and inspirational it is. Difficult to cook from, but great to learn from—about creativity in all of its manifestations.

   I am told I have to see this book. Again, molecular gastronomy makes an appearance on our bookshelves. This one is supposed to be better than Alinea.
