I thought you said you were going to spruce up your kitchen, not your skills. My bad.

and what does make you a chef anyways?

[QUOTE=P13;18423097]A lot of the weirder techniques aren't that hard. Like making flavoured powders, airs, spheres, and stuff are just like other things (mixing, emulsifying, boiling) but with extra chemicals added in.[/QUOTE]

understanding how the chemical structure of different types of food influence each other even in basic cooking can be a bit of a headache, even if you have a firm grasp on method you can perform from memory over and over again that works. for instance these two old indian chefs at work have very different styles, one just can't get his Makhani sauce and masala dishes the way the other guy does and it shows when people go to eat it and time and time again claim the other guys is better. it's still top notch food but he reckons it is because the first chef hasn't got the same grasp on science and what is going on in the pan, just sort of treats it as a routine rather than art, etc.

you could probably pull off some nice tricks with just a surface level of understanding with molecular gastronomy i'm sure, I just want to be thorough with the sciencey stuff because first and foremost I want to get the most out of what I am doing, taking stuff to the next level is what it's all about. reading this book has completely changed the way I work

Native Indian ancestry.

Honestly I only said that because a few years ago one of my white bros told me earnestly as if I knew what drug he was on at the moment, that, "Indians can tell the future". I secretly laugh inside about that. like what?

it's one thing to follow a recipe but if you can fill in the blanks where not so obvious technical points that can make or break what you are doing aren't discussed at length and there are misleading steps it frees you

just makes cooking more enjoyable tbh

[QUOTE=P13;18423051]had a lucid dream that I couldn't get to sleep last night

what a shitty first lucid dream[/QUOTE]

lucid dreaming is amazing i remember one time i was walking down a liquid road and whispers circulated around me and shit and i was like holy fuck my dreams are fucking weird and it was like of all the things i wanted to say/knew/wanted to know but half of it was gibberish that i innately grasped was like wtf

Don't get me started on crappy dreams. Had this recurring dream for like half a year in which I died. Every time in a slightly different way. Well, I never really died, of course, I always woke up before it was over. Thankfully it stopped about two months ago. Was starting to get worried.

Anyway, gonna try to get some sleep. Long day tomorrow.

i had a lucid dream awake once no i was asleep a few nights ago

Yeah, thought the general snobby attitude was a bit of a giveaway.

He's trying to argue with me about the NHS in PNWI.

This should be fun.

that dude is such a fag

i don't think he's trolling i'm pretty sure he's just that gay

He's kinda like the Brent of PNWI, always has to be a condescending prick and can't be happy unless he's arguing or trying to take a high ground of some kind.
