Molecular Gastronomy Tasting Menu at Aramburu Buenos Aires
It is great to see how molecular gastronomy is becoming more popular around the world and chefs are combining the techniques and cooking styles learned from iconic chefs with their local products and dishes. But very few chefs can execute a molecular gastronomy tasting menu that takes the diner beyond the food and transforms it into a memorable experience. Edible wood, pork confit with cotton candy, dessert trio in a shoe box with smoking liquid nitrogen and many other surprises!
Did You Know That Shapes Can Have an Impact on Flavor?
Yes! Shapes can affect our perception of flavor. This is the result of a research carried out by Charles Spence who has been working together with molecular gastronomy Chef Heston Blumenthal for years and his research results have led to the introduction of new dishes such as the famous ‘Sound of the Sea’ served at The Fat Duck restaurant. It will be interesting to see how the shapes of foods, plates and cutlery will be used creatively in molecular gastronomy to influence the eating experience and trick our minds.
