Food & Drink Modernist Cuisine Photography

Food & Drink: Modernist Cuisine Photography by Nathan Myhrvold presents the extraordinary food photography created for the Modernist Cuisine series — the most ambitious culinary publishing project ever undertaken. Myhrvold’s team pioneered photographic techniques that had never been applied to food: cross-sections through cooking vessels, ultra-high-speed imagery, micro-photography of ingredients — creating images that are simultaneously scientifically informative and aesthetically stunning. This volume collects the most remarkable of these images and explains the technical processes behind them, making it both a photography book and a window into the intersection of culinary science and visual art. For food enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone fascinated by the possibility of making the familiar world strange and beautiful through the right kind of looking, this is an extraordinary publication.
