Herv This (pronounced "Teess") is an internationally renowned chemist, a popular French television personality, a bestselling cookbook author, a longtime collaborator with the famed French chef Pierre Gagnaire, and the only person to hold a doctorate in molecular gastronomy, a cutting-edge field he pioneered. Bringing the instruments and experimental techniques of the laboratory into the kitchen, This uses recent research in the chemistry, physics, and biology of food to challenge traditional ideas about cooking and eating. What he discovers will entertain, instruct, and intrigue cooks, gourmets, and scientists alike. Molecular Gastronomy, This's first work to appear in English, is filled with practical tips, provocative suggestions, and penetrating insights. This begins by reexamining and debunking a variety of time-honored rules and dictums about cooking and presents new and improved ways of preparing a variety of dishes from quiches and quenelles to steak and hard-boiled eggs. He goes on to discuss the physiology of flavor and explores how the brain perceives tastes, how chewing affects food, and how the tongue reacts to various stimuli. Examining the molecular properties of bread, ham, foie gras, and champagne, the book analyzes what happens as they are baked, cured, cooked, and chilled. Looking to the future, Herv This imagines new cooking methods and proposes novel dishes. A chocolate mousse without eggs? A flourless chocolate cake baked in the microwave? Molecular Gastronomy explains how to make them. This also shows us how to cook perfect French fries, why a souffl rises and falls, how long to cool champagne, when to season a steak, the right way to cook pasta, how the shape of a wine glass affects the taste of wine, why chocolate turns white, and how salt modifies tastes.Binding Type: Paperback

great mouse
Color: Black and Gold
really good mouse, the sound isn’t loud, i love the little scroller and ive used it daily for a few months now and the batteries life has lasted since then and i haven’t had to change them out which is great. it’s very lightweight and it will go into i think maybe a resting mode after not using it for a few minutes and you have to click to turn it back on which i do like. it fits very nicely in my hand and it’s overall a great mouse.

Quite clicks and easy manueverability. Works great.
Color: White and Gold
I was very pleased when I opened the box and seen that the actual mouse looks exactly like the pictures. It is lightweight and glides easily along my mouse pad. The colors are gorgeous and makes it look very chic! And it works great. It was easy to set up, just plugged in the USB receiver and it was up and running right away. The clicks make a muffled sound that is kind of soothing.

I hold this more than my husband's hand!
Color: Black and Gold
So much about this mouse is RIGHT!! The smooth feel in my hand, the way it glides across the mouse pad, and the silent scrolling and clicking feature are all great features I look for in a mouse. As an online college student, homeschooling mother, writer, digital designer, and business owner, a computer mouse is one of my most used "tools".
The battery life seems to be alright, although I did not realize it was ran on batteries and am not looking forward to the ongoing replenishment of that. I would prefer a mouse that charges if it were to be wireless or just have that cord attached. It responds with my computer and laptop well with little to no lag.
Visually, it is gorgeous, classy and professional while also being cute! The black with the rose gold colors really make a statement.
Aside from the longevity and sustainability of batteries, I love everything about this mouse. Show me this mouse with a few upgrades and the ability to charge an internal battery and I will be all over that with 5 stars!

Quiet, Sleek, and Surprisingly Premium for the Price
Color: White and Gold
I’ve gone through a lot of wireless mice over the years, but this one genuinely surprised me. The design looks much more premium in person — the black and gold finish gives it a sleek modern setup vibe without looking cheap or flashy.
The mouse is super lightweight, smooth, and almost silent when clicking, which honestly makes a bigger difference than I expected. Great for late-night work, studying, or coffee shop use without annoying everyone around you.
Setup took seconds — plugged in the nano receiver and it worked instantly with my laptop. No lag, no connection issues, and the tracking has been very responsive on different surfaces. Battery life has also been solid so far.
For the price, this feels like one of those underrated tech finds that ends up becoming part of your everyday setup. Clean aesthetic, quiet performance, portable, and reliable. Definitely exceeded expectations.
