Collaborating in the laboratory and the kitchen, Ole G. Mouritsen and Klavs Styrb?k investigate the multiple ways in which food texture influences taste. Combining scientific analysis with creative intuition and a sophisticated knowledge of food preparation, they write a one-of-a-kind book for food lovers and food science scholars. By mapping the mechanics of mouthfeel, Mouritsen and Styrb?k advance a greater awareness of its link to our culinary preferences.
