“Uno scaffale culinario? Il buon catalogo è questo Modernist Cuisine at Home, ma per gli appassionati c'è l'intera opera Modernist Cuisine TASCHEN.”
“La buona notizia è che è appena uscita la sua versione condensata e destinata al grande pubblico, Modenist Cuisine at Home pubblicata in italiano da TASCHEN. Proceduta dalle prefazioni di Martha Stewart (reginetta delle cuoche di casa americane) e di Thomas Keller (chef alla French Laundry in California), l'opera prende in esame un'infinità di ricette riproducibili in qualsiasi cucina «normale». E dà consigli per districarsi nel complesso universo delle nuove tecniche attraverso l'uso di qualche semplice strumento.”
“L’enciclopedia in sei volumi Modernist Cuisine è diventata in pochi anni un cult per ogni cuoco o aspirante tale. Adesso in Italia, ad un anno dalla sua pubblicazione all’estero, arriva anche la versione "mini": Modernist Cuisine at Home di Nathan Myhrvold e Maxime Bilet. L’opera di TASCHEN infatti si apre ad un pubblico più generalista e si propone come una guida ideale per una cucina modernista, ma quotidiana.”
