Video podcasts? YouTube channels? Know any? I consider myself an adventurous, experimental intermediate-level home cook. I've done mushroom foams, the 5 basic sauces, I have a rack full of emulsifiers, I know my spices, I have a lot of cook books, and I've been cooking since I was two and my grandpapa put me up on the counter while he made lunch every day. I've made every basic recipe that people try. I routinely build my own toothsome dishes in several styles. I <i>like</i> spending all day cooking. I don't need more "best half-hour cheesecake ever" recipes if it's nothing but a video of some guy cooking a cheesecake.<br> <br> What I would like are cooking shows that highlight esoteric, weird, advanced, forgotten, or unusual techniques. I love restaurant techniques, as well as professional techniques hacked for home consumption. I'd also like a fair dose of science up in there.<br> <br> <i>Good Eats</i> is kind of what I'm looking for, but the host's "humorous" schtick gets real painful real quick. So something similar, but without the schtick, would totally suffice. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.133344 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:56:45 -0800 chefery cooking moleculargastronomy norecipes Netzapper http://ask.metafilter.com/109388/Flavor%2DTripping%2DParty My friend is having a flavor tripping party (with the miracle-fruit berry), and has asked everyone to bring something to try. I am shot for ideas. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Something creative, or clever, or anything, really. Just not lemons.

Is it for taste, or presentation, or just to be innovative? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.102835 Sat, 27 Sep 2008 20:53:53 -0800 cooking culinaryfoam foam moleculargastronomy smackfu http://ask.metafilter.com/80475/How%2Ddoes%2DHeston%2DBlumenthal%2Dcreate%2Ddrinks%2Dthat%2Dare%2Dhot%2Don%2Done%2Dside%2Dand%2Dcold%2Don%2Dthe%2Dother How does Heston Blumenthal create drinks that are hot on one side and cold on the other? In his "Perfect Christmas" show, Heston Blumenthal served Mulled Wine which was hot on the left and cold on the right. Apparently <a href="http://mek.vox.com/library/post/the-fat-duck---fun-with-heston.html">he serves something similar at The Fat Duck</a> - something called "Hot &amp; Iced Tea".<br> I thought maybe it was to do with liquids with different densities, but surely the liquids would end up one on top of the other rather than side by side.<br> Any ideas? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.80475 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 08:28:28 -0800 drink hestonblumenthal moleculargastronomy thefatduck chill
