Molecular Cooking
Do you keep sodium alginate in your kitchen? How about calcium lactate?
You might think these chemicals only belong in a lab. But in an interesting twist to traditional food preparation – also known as molecular cooking -  chefs are using concepts from the lab to create a whole array of new textures, aromas, and tastes. They’ve come up with ways to make transparent ravioli, coconut mango foam, port fluid gel, edible lipstick, and much, much more.
