http://www.ted.com Cookbook author (and geek) Nathan Myhrvold talks about his magisterial work, "Modernist Cuisine" -- and shares the secret of its cool photographic illustrations, which show cross-sections of food in the very act of being cooked.

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

  • Brilliant!

  • he disacates food, cuts it in half. the way you´d cut a herring in half during a biology session ^^

  • why the dislikes? this guy is genius !!

  • Title was misleading...

  • I love it when people surpass "specialization" and begin to integrate fields of study and become generalized in many fields of study. Physics and cooking who would have thought. =)

  • @marianopicco oh yes, i got the hwill hweaton bit, youre very funny.

  • i want this cook book...

  • @alexhamster1134 just watch the episode where Stewie brings the cast of Star Trek to his home to hang out with them and you'll get the reference...

  • @marianopicco He must be from the south or Maine or something. Both those areas have lots of people who still do the 'hw' thing.
