The Modernist Cuisine is available again
All you technical foodies out there will be relieved to hear that, after a sold out first printing of 6000, the six-volume, $625 edition will now be available. The book was originally printed in Japan, but do to the earthquake, the printer was no longer available. The book will now be printed in China, and because of different paper stock (from 128 gsm paper to 157 gsm), the shipping weight of the package will increase from 46.3 lbs., to a heftier 50.7 lbs. Have your hand truck ready at the front door.
