📖 About The Book

In this uniquely conceptualized science fiction work, Dr. Sanjay Dhole explores the intersection of food, cooking, and science through a fascinating narrative format. The book delves into the idea that the act of cooking marks a significant milestone in human cultural evolution, transforming not just dietary habits but the very structure of civilization.

Presented in an engaging, storybook style, the book highlights how various scientific principles—physical, chemical, and biochemical—are inherently involved in everyday cooking processes. From heat transfer mechanisms like conduction, convection, and radiation to the solubility, miscibility, and chemical behavior of ingredients, each chapter reveals the underlying science behind culinary practices.

Whether it's preserving the natural color of food, understanding sweetness and pungency, or optimizing the choice of cooking methods, the book empowers readers—especially home cooks—to see cooking as more than routine: it is applied science in action.

A compelling and educational read, this book offers a fresh and scientific perspective on everyday activities, making it a must-read for science lovers, home science enthusiasts, and curious minds looking to understand the "why" behind what happens in the kitchen.
