i'm living this right now

melted some cheese in naan with some basil and pineapple, not bad

is it a light cheese? a sharp cheese wouldn't be that good, imo

I'm going to start experimenting with spherification this weekend, gotta go get the supplies and shit
I don't know what I want to make, though.

cheddar

what is spherification

jeez, haz, you should know this stuff.
My friend went to the molecular gastronomy restaurant that I went to last year and it made me want to start trying some of the stuff they do.

well i'm learning stuff that's actually gonna help me with my job first :p

advanced stuff comes later

yeah I'm not looking into this to get a job, so I don't need to be fast and learn the stuff for restaurants
this is just a hobby. it's a tasty way to apply my skills in chemistry

have you read this? pretty much my bible at the moment

once i'm done memorising this i'll move on to the weirder science, I couldn't imagine tinkering around with that kind of stuff without it

good morning im glad i blowed a imnd last night

it was all worth it through and through lovely to make your acquaintance gents

sounds like a good read i've been looking to spruce on my kitchen know how official ofr some months... indeed

no I haven't read that, I'll have to get it.
I've been cooking using a lot of Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, and some improv stuff. Just been learning from my dad (not a chef but an excellent cook and even better baker).

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.

@noon
yeah I'm glad my dad spent a good amount of money on stuff in out kitchen. Induction burners are so much better than electric/gas.

lol oh sweet is that the difference between a cook and a chef. i bet its make you cheif

at least in my tribe BAZONG

what?

the electric burners duh

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?

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

oh man big update, wanna pla ya 1v1v1 with my friend irl? he's not as good as me so it will be fun for us both to battl;e it out

edit if you read this, i'm already loading up that game bro

lol

one game dude

gg.

best of three? :- ] lol play you later my firends online now pce bro

noonward ditched you

no i beat haz but then my firend who hasnt ben playing as much as me beat me just now
totally beat me
