Trying to figure out why learning how to cook is so tedious in a software world.

I'd like to know of a good book for the science of cooking. I hate blindly following recipes.

Like a poor man's version of this book by Microsoft CTO Nathan Myhrvold.

Lol, why do you think learning how to cook is tedious? There are applications that help solve this problem. e.g FitMenCook, Allrecipes etc
