Style of cooking created by Hervé This
Technical
Note by Note cuisine is a style of cooking based on molecular gastronomy, created by French chemist Hervé This. Dishes are made using pure compounds instead of using animal or plant tissues. This said the cuisine is like "a painter using primary colours, or a musician composing electroacoustic music, wave by wave, using a computer".
