Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking [Hardcover] is HUGE

I would like to get it.

Post in Wired looked amazing.

But there are some foods, that are classical. Example: pizza. I am not sure it can be done better with modernist tools. :) Pizza oven is high tech enough and when you switch from wood to gas, you loose. You gain in speed and convinces, but taste is not as good.
