Saw this on TV... looked pretty cool. I think I saw some chefs using these techniques on Iron Chef before too.

does it taste different when cooked molecularly? or is it just presentation?
pretty cool stuff.

Not sure, I've never tried it. I guess we can ask Jai after he comes back from Chicago $800 poorer.

by **nature boy** » Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:16 am

he's going all the way to chicago for just that one meal?
i.e. he's going to be poorer than just $800.

There's a book on molecular cooking. One dude from microsoft spent $1 million researching and writing a book on it.

That book is freaking $462!!! Originally $650!! And that's just volume 2 of 6. Crazy...

by **jeSteR** » Thu Apr 04, 2013 2:03 pm

No.. that's for the whole 6 volume set.
