Nathan Myhrvold, zakladateľ The Cooking Lab, má od detstva vášeň pre vedu, varenie a fotografiu. Po odchode z Microsoftu v roku 1999 založil spoločnosť Intellectual Ventures a začal sa naplno venovať svojim celoživotným záujmom. Vzhľadom na nedostatok praktických informácií o varení metódou sous vide sa rozhodol napísať knihu, ktorá by poskytla vedecké vysvetlenie kuchárskych procesov, históriu varenia a techniky, vybavenie a recepty spojené s modernistickou kuchyňou. Jeho cieľom bolo zdieľať vedu o varení a zázraky modernistickej kuchyne s ostatnými a odovzdať im svoju vlastnú zvedavosť a vášeň pre tento smer.
