Molecular gastronomy is no longer a fad — it’s a respected culinary discipline.

“The joy of this style of cooking is that as a Chef, it challenges your science and food knowledge”. As a customer it creates new physical senses and mental perceptions with an array of aromas, colors and shapes before your eyes.

World renowned Chef Heston Bluementhal, a dedicated ambassador of this style of cooking and its science, has written books on the subject. Colleges have opened with research into the topic including, George Brown College and Holland College in Prince Edward Island. I am personally still not convinced, but it has become part of the curriculum in culinary colleges so it is here to stay.
