Cooking For Engineers

logical cooking ?

Have an analytical mind? Like to cook? This is the site to read

The best style for cookbooks has already been developed by the teams of the Culinary Olympics. Basically, each recipe is listed in three columns, ingredients, directions and, cooking utensils used for that step. It's all about functionality and efficiency. To that extent, all cooks are logical and analytical.

I've been working as a chemist for ten years (add in college then I've been in a lab for fourteen years. . .).

Anyhow, there is effecitvely no difference between cooking and chemistry. I enjoy cooking because of that. I used to do quite a bit of method development which is essentially the fancy chemistry version of inventing a new recipe in the kitchen. That website is kind of interesting, but in a way it has arealy been done a long while ago by a fellow named Harold McGee

I'm not sure if my artistic side or my scientific side is more offended. If by already done you mean take an unreasonably long time to get to the point, I agree.
