Molecular Gastronomy, Part II

Filed under: Food,Science — Mr. Zero @ 3:45 am

While I’m at it, I might as well point you to two very interesting molecular gastronomy source. The first is a collaborative recipe wiki, the FoodHacking wiki (nascent, but looks promising.) The second is a very nice set of resource links to various sites on the subject of molecular gastronomy, it’s practicioners, etc.

Molecular Gastronomy isn’t really something new, food scientists (or flavorists) have been doing weird things to our food for decades now. Seaweed and other assorted ‘gums’ seem to make a lot of appearances.

GirlAlive British Food Experience

Filed under: Food — Mr. Zero @ 2:54 am

GirlAlive, an American expat in Britain is writing up an amusing and informative series on British packaged foods. She helpfully includes the ingredients. I have learned that that”bubble and squeak” involves ordinary vegetables such as potato, cabbage, and brussel sprouts. Mushy peas aren’t nearly as offputting as they sound (hint: it’s a different kind of pea than the kind we get in the states.) She also includes some personal favorites that I already know and love, such as flapjacks, a delicious and substantial oat cake. Spotted Dick, while it may be delicious, continues to crack up even this intrepid taster.

Gode Cookery

Filed under: Food — Mr. Zero @ 2:15 am

Gode Cookery is one of those sites that makes me glad there is an Internet. The site is dedicated to medieval cooking and translating the recipes to the modern kitchen. Knowing how people ate hundreds of years ago goes a long way to understanding how they lived.

Chow

Filed under: Food — Mr. Zero @ 1:35 am

Chow.com has launched. The food magazine ran for a few issues about a year ago before being purchased by CNET. The content tends to be lighter than the more substantial Gourmet, but that can be a good thing if you are looking for a quick read.
