Molecular gastronomy uses precise chemical reactions and controlled processes to transform ingredients into novel textures and presentations.
Origin: Modernist chefs (Spain, UK) (Early 21st century) — Europe
See full technique reference →Techniques such as spherification, foams, sous‑vide, gelification, emulsification, carbonation, and deconstruction rely on polymer cross‑linking, surfactant stabilization, phase transitions, and pressure‑controlled reactions to achieve desired culinary effects.
