I am a chef and a multidisciplinary artist, and one of my main inspirations when creating new dishes for the project is Jean Miro and his art. I am fascinated by Miro's unique style and original approach to color and form, and I try to transfer this visual expression to my kitchen by creating not only delicious but also beautiful and artistic dishes. Learning the techniques of molecular gastronomy, I use scientific methods and technologies to create new flavors and forms of dishes. Inspiration with the art of Miro will allow me to experiment with various forms and shapes of...

Salvador Dali claimed that as a child he dreamed of becoming a chef. As we know, those dreams did not come true. However, a certain attraction to cooking remained with him throughout his life. Together with his wife Gala Dali, he gave famous parties that had both a gastronomic and theatrical dimension. Invited guests dressed up in completely fantastic costumes, and wild animals roamed among surrealist tables (Dali especially loved black panthers). Although the ingredients and preparation methods of the dishes served during these events seemed extravagant, they were previously tested by famous chefs in the best Parisian restaurants, such...

Hervé This is a French physical chemist who works for the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique at AgroParisTech in Paris, France.

He obtained a doctorate at the University of Paris VI under the title "La gastronomie moléculaire et physique". He is the author of many scientific publications, as well as several books on the subject, which can be understood even by those with little or no knowledge of chemistry. Although he...

The world has taken over the fashion of dishes in black. Our mothers or grandmothers always told us that people eat with their eyes. From an early age, we learn not only the taste, but our brain remembers the shape, color, and taste of the product we try.

Yes - because we are curious if it tastes different, although sometimes people are afraid to try new things. On the social networking site Facebook or Instagram, there are plenty of restaurants advertising dishes in...
