It's probably not a coincidence that 2 of PBS's most popular cooking shows, Americas Test Kitchen and Cooks Country, feature a brief science segment explaining what's going on at the molecular level with food. Surely inspired by Modernist Cuisine.
Quite an interesting story teller, I might have to check out his book at the library. I'm glad he left Microsoft to pursue his passion (food).
God bless this man, I’d love to see if we could develop more polymaths like him in society!
Pizza has a crust (or raised edge) is because, in the Middle Ages, dinner plates were commonly made from bread.
Oh wow this obscenely rich white guy quits his highly paid job (with HUGE stock options!) to risk it all making pizza...how inspiring that even rich white guys can follow their dreams 😂
