Holy freaking crap: http://modernistcuisine.com/

“Modernist Cuisine is a six-volume, 2,438-page set that is des­tined to rein­vent cook­ing. The lavishly illus­trated books use thou­sands of orig­i­nal images to make the sci­ence and tech­nol­gy clear and engaging.”

This is like food science on crack.

Anybody who knows me knows I’ve been into cooking as of late, and this humongous wealth of knowledge is quite enticing. The photographs look amazing…I was reading a bit about one picture featuring a cross-sectioned action shot of noodles being stir-fried in a wok.

The article was saying how there was no Photoshop involved and that the photographer actually had to capture the flying noodles as they were stirred in the half-wok. Pretty badass.

Too bad the set of six volumes costs $600, or these would be mine.

Here are the FAQs from the site in case you missed them.
Very interesting indeed.
