It's possible. I haven't cooked any of the recipes yet and have just been reading it like a regular book so far. I think the book is really interesting but I'm a huge nerd and I'm excited by the same kind of things as Myrvhold is. I think there's a lot of knowledge you can get in the book that you can't get easily in other places. Some of it is actually useful for cooking and some of it not. It's interesting to the right audience nonetheless.
The microbiology chapter is interesting and it doesn't contribute to your ability to cook something, but it is important imo.
I also think you know FAR more than the average or even above average home cook, and that probably makes it less valuable to you. Still, it's early days and I won't have time to really dig in to it until i come back frmo vacation.

No, the problem is the degree of masturbation and "look at me I am rich" ramblings and the fact that while the information is top notch, the recipes are not very sophisticated. Or, I should say that the recipes are sophisticated in the original sense of the word, but not very interesting as far as flavor goes. They never fail to use a complicated technique when a simple one would be better, nor fail to use a complicated technique when nothing at all is necessary. For the info on how to make a sphere or a foam or how to make your own freeze dried container for cup of noodles it is great. Srs.
