The book doesn't just teach you to cook-it teaches you to think like a scientist in your own kitchen. Whether you're a Silicon Valley engineer or simply someone who's ever wondered why their cookies spread too thin, this approach transforms cooking from following instructions into genuine problem-solving. The kitchen stops being a place of mysterious failures and becomes a space where curiosity leads to delicious discoveries.
