Blog

Time for a quick bit of recommendation, I think…

Martin “Khymos” Lersch has been off learning from top chefs at the Flemish Primitives (Weird name, but sounds great). His three posts so far (Post 1 – Nicholas Kurti, general summaries and a book recommendation, Post 2 – weird-ass chocolate and Post 3 – Martin blogs about Heston Blumenthal’s talk and I become extremely jealous) are all fascinating stuff.

There’s a fun new blog just talking about sous-vide over at sousvide.info . They’re discussing recipes, where to source equipment, and more – interesting stuff.

Lab Cat is a great blog I’ve just started following, from a food scientist specialising in shelf-life studies. It’s a mixture of food science and a fair bit of knitting and other stuff, but the food science posts are really worth reading.

Herve This, the author of “Molecular Gastronomy”, has just started blogging! Unfortunately, it’s in French. Still, he’s the man, and Google does a just-about-readable translation

Finally, Spiteful Chef isn’t particularly molecular gastronomy-ey at all, but it IS very entertaining indeed. She’s training to be a professional chef, and her blog mixes food experiments, lovely photography, and lots of extremely honest, funny, and occasionally angry-making discussion of what it’s like to train as a pro at what sounds like a brutally hard school.
