Description
On todays THE FOOD SEEN, Scott Heimendinger, aka The Seattle Food Geek, brings the schools of science and cooking together via Modernist Cuisine at Home, a cookbook that will change the way you think about food. For Scott, a scientific background (IBM, Microsoft) combined with the chance encounter of a slow-poached sous-vide egg at Maria Hines Tilth restaurant, emulsified his past skill set with kitchen intrigue, guiding him to his latest job as, Director of Applied Research for Modernist Cuisine at The Cooking Lab. From the must have countertop tools and conventional cooking gear, to stocking up on a Modernist pantry, this episode will give you all the insight into the wonders of Wondra flour, how to fry the best chicken wings, making the meltiest cheese with sodium citrate, and will still have you craving for more of the over 400 recipes! This episode has been sponsored by Fairway Market.
