This exhibit celebrates the science of cooking with books that can be found in the Science Library. Accompanied by cooking implements from many cultures, feast your eyes on a few of the delectable books selected from the TX call numbers located on the third floor. Food and the cooking of food have had “widespread effects on human nutrition, ecology, and social relationships.”* Accumulating, storing and preparing food involved the development of preservation and safety measures, coordination of group efforts, and led to socially significant events such as celebrations. As knowledge of tools and materials accumulated, preparation methods could expand and become more elaborate, freeing humankind from the calendar that the seasonality of ingredients demanded. The chemistry of combined ingredients, heat, vessels, and preparation techniques has evolved elegant and creative solutions around the globe.
