Welcome to Gourmetologia!
The science at the service of cooks and innovation.
Molecular gastronomy can be defined as the use of apparatus, process, ingredients and knowledge, already in use in industry and/or in laboratories, into the kitchen.
- Some examples of apparatus are (siphons, Sous vide baths, superfilter bags, etc).
- Some examples of ingredients are alginate, lecithin, agar, xanthane gum, etc.
- Some examples of techniques are spherification, crunchies, marinating by injection, airs and foams, etc.
- Some examples of knowledge are Maillard reaction mechanism, emulsions or enzymatic reaction as transglutaminase.
There is a big difference between the industry and the restaurant: from the restaurant kitchen to the table are only few meters, just a delay of second between preparation and degustation. The industrial products instead, have to tolerate a transport chain, storage and finally, preparation.
This is a big advantage for professional or amateur cooks in the innovation process!
Some people prefer to talk about scientific kitchen or science of kitchen rather than molecular gastronomy. Anyway, the appelative “Molecular gastronomy” is the most spectacular and thus it is being imposed as the most popular.
In Gourmetologia, we go beyond the limits of traditional kitchen and, thanks to those new methods, get surprising textures, improved tastes and cuasi-magical effects that the innovative cook can use as starting idea to elaborate new dishes.
The use of these methods is the most current trend of innovation among the best cooks in the world.
In Gourmetologia, we also have solutions for the tradicional kitchen which can save time and effort, minimising the rutinary work to maximize the creative time.
