Your Patience Will Be Rewarded.

My First Book Is Really About Heat. That Book, For Me, Was An Exploration Of Heat As Ingredient. Why We Don't Talk About Heat As An Ingredient, I Don't Quite Understand, Because It Is The Common Ingredient To All Cooking Processes.

No Matter How Much Creativity Goes Into It, Cooking Is An Art. Or Perhaps I Should Say A Craft. It Abides By Absolute Rules, Physics, Chemistry, Etc. And That Means That Unless You Understand The Science You Cannot Reach The Art. We're Not Talking About Painting Here. Cooking's More Like Engineering. I Happen To Think That There Is Great Beauty In Great Engineering.

I Hate Using The Word Coagulant.

I Feel A Strong Wakeup Call And Need To Build Social Connections.

Now My Wife May Think She's Locked Me Out Of The Kitchen But Macgyver's Not My Patron Saint For Nothing.
