If you have ever been surprised and impressed by an unusual serving of emulsion, a helping of frothy foam, or a plate of frozen gases as your meal, the chances are that Herve This and his gastronomic research will be behind them.

you could also call Molecular Gastronomy "The useless side of Chemistry"

I also agree when he said "there is no applied science". If you want applied science, go study engineering. In terms of colloidal chemistry, I think it would be interesting if someone could find out where the Hamaker's constants come from in DLVO's theory (van der Waals & Electrical double layer). I think there is much more that meets the eye in the origin of the Hamaker's constant. Furthermore, there are also many other molecular forces to account for in processes, be it in cooking or industrial manufacturing processes.

Yes, of course! This is the amazing Hervé This :)
-
does anyone know what his name is ? ^_^

21:50 "oh put.." that cracked me up XD

Peel the Tomato, cut them in quarters, remove the seeds and cook the red (skin) that you have left. Mix in a blender! put the puré back on the stove and bring up to a boil, add Gelantin or Agar Agar and let it melt in the mixture/puré. put on a sheet of (baking paper) and cool down. (could also just use crushed tomatos in a can that you mix to make things faster)
-
how does one make the tomato sheets?
-
I love This. His accent is a combination of Cluzo and Latka from Taxi!!
-
This guy needs a regular TV show. Awesome!
-
This guy is brilliant!
-
I had the chance to see him at Agro Paristech nice speaker ! =D
-
egg white since when its cooked it turns white :-| i hope he was sarcastic
-
It actually was more of a joke. And, if you go hardcore, there is no colors at all. Only small injections on surfaces that reflect light differently.
-
Fucking brilliant. If only we would have teachers who would be like that all the time... with french accent.
-
Weird, i started watching this video at 3:23am too and thought i would watch a little but i ended up finishing the whole lecture. haha.

£$&# Gordon Ramsey, *this* guy is knows his way around a kitchen!
-
"if it is built it is beautiful" thats an amazing comment on cooking. i cant tell you how inspirational i have found this video. i am forever in your debt.
-
I wish someday I can attend Dr This' lecture
