As described in a recent post, quite a lot of effort went into making Modernist Cuisine a long-lasting and high-quality experience for the reader. From the paper stock and type of binding, to the inks and printing method, the team researched and scrutinized every detail before making final selections for the project.
We are excited to share with you the first image of Modernist Cuisine, which will also include a kitchen manual (not shown).
First image of the Modernist Cuisine set.

It looks great. Does this mean that we can expect to have them in March?
Or is there more to it than that?
Can’t wait to have them on my bookshelf, best wishes.

Very shiny. I see you solved the problem with the insufficiently durable box, at the same time as giving it its own distinctly modernist look!

That looks incredible. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person.
What is the slipcase made of?
Are there dust covers on the individual volumes?

Wow, it’s looking great! Can’t wait to get one (well, I’ll have to wait till March anyway :)) Btw, I’m a Brazilian food writer and I would like to interview Modernist Cuisine’s authors. Do you whom I should contact to schedule an interview?
Thanks a lot!

I haven’t been able to find the physical size of the book anywhere. Could you please tell the approximate height, width, and thickness of the set? Thanks!

Are you going to publish an ebook well?
