Molecular Gastronomy, The Science of Cooking

Roland Piquepaille writes "The Art of Cooking is evolving fast in this 21st century. New food products are being designed with the help of molecular technology, genetic discoveries or space research before arriving in our kitchens. For example, here is a Pravda article which says that NASA is preparing sandwiches which will still be edible after seven years. Companies like Kraft are also using nanotechnology to create food products tailored to users' needs. This is a booming market and, according to Associated Press, dozens of universities in the U.S. are offering degrees in culinology, attracting creative students in their food and science programs."

cuisine before culinology?

before the Americans get all scientific about cooking, how about recognising and developing local cuisine and cooking talent.

I'm sorry to say this, but for world leaders, Americans might just have the poorest gastonimical sense on this planet...

Everything's not about science...

I'll be waiting...
