As you remember from our earlier coverage, Seattle's Nathan Myhrvold unveiled his "revolutionary" Modernist Cuisine cookbook on March 7 for the high price of $625. At 6 volumes, more than 2400 pages and more than 40 pounds you might expect a few errors in the book (you can get a sense of the book in the picture above). Well, Myhrvold and company have a list of errors they've found in the book on their website. It's quite long. Really, really long.
On their website the team writes, "Modernist Cuisine is the product of human beings. And like all human creations, it contains imperfections. Despite our best efforts to find and eliminate every error before the book went to press, some mistakes slipped through."
Check out the list of errors. Does it seem like a lot to you? Does that make you any less likely to buy the book?
