Grade 7 Cooking & Food

A year of real kitchen stories, from George Soper tracking the cook called Typhoid Mary and Robert Koch staining his bacteria to Casimir Funk’s “vitamine,” Linda Bartoshuk’s supertasters, Louis-Camille Maillard’s browning, Magellan’s cargo of cloves and Ellen Swallow Richards’s science of the home, each one followed by the food science underneath and a real meal the student cooks for the family.
