Hey there - I'm a professional engineer/amateur foodie. I'm very interested in being able to create my own recipes for things - instead of just trying to use other people's. Specifically, I feel like I can choose the right flavors OK - but I never know how to proportion things. For example, I really like how if you're making pancakes you need a half teaspoon of baking soda for every cup of buttermilk to cancel out the acidity of the buttermilk, and that a teaspoon of baking soda gives the equivalent leavening of 4 teaspoons of baking powder. The little mathematical details - getting proportions right and all that - really just makes me happy.
Are there any good books or other resources that cover these sorts of things?
Thanks!
