DIY dinner

by Ziya Tong Department: Correlations

Seeing as it's DIY month here on Wired Science, I was thinking we could delve into a few Molecular Gastronomy recipes. After all, nothing perks up the taste buds like a scrumptious hydrocolloid dinner! That said, Khymos.org is a fantastic resource for those of you who'd like to experiment with the "science of cooking". Download the digital cookbook here, and try your hand at making everything from Frozen parmesan air to Spherical mango ravioli, to White sangria in suspension!

For dessert lovers, chefs Dominique and Cindy Duby of Vancouver have invented the Chocolate Tasting Science Kit that's not to be missed. Click here to see how you can test out 'culinary equations' in your own kitchen.

And lastly, for the truly adventurous, you can get right down to it and even eat the menu! Follow in the footsteps of Master chef Homaru Cantu (inventor of the "Food Replicator" who famously uses food-based inks and a modified laser printer to print out an edible menu), or do it the easy way - at home on your desktop, with rice paper and edible inks.

Bon Appetit!
