Molecular gastronomy is the scientific discipline dedicated to studying the physical and chemical transformations that occur during cooking. Coined in 1988 by physicist Nicholas Kurti and chemist Hervé This, it bridges the gap between the lab and the kitchen to debunk culinary myths and invent new sensory experiences. Core Principles
