Modernist Cuisine First Edition Box-Set with Slip-Case (new)

This is a first edition and first printing box set of Nathan Myhrvold’s groundbreaking “Modernist Cuisine” culinary reference guides, with more than 2000 pages full of brilliant full-color food photography, instruction in culinary technique, and unique detailed recipes. The box set is still new, having never been used for cooking - no dog-eared pages or cooking stains or even creases. It would make a fantastic gift for any home chef or professional chef who wants to up their game! This is a rare first printing which was made on glossy paper that really helps the food photography leap off the page; later printings switched to a lower quality, lighter paper. Note that this box set is rather heavy, but the heft of the books lend them a certain gravitas that isn’t present in later printings!
