"With stunning images like this, you'd think that computers and Photoshop played a huge role in the production of the artwork from Modernist Cuisine. You'd be wrong...So how did they get a shot of noodles being tossed in half a wok? Easy. 'We cut a wok in half and tossed noodles in it,' explains Nathan Myhrvold, the man behind the 2,400 page book. The result was many messes (they lined the photo studio with plastic), a couple of fires, a few burns, and the awesome shot you see above (click on it for a larger view).
Like many of the photos in the book, these types of shots explain how traditional cooking techniques work far better than almost any instructional tool I've seen."
