Food science: Molecular gastronomy for the home

Montreal – A new company called Molecule-R has launched a line of molecular gastronomy kits that enables consumers to try scientific cooking techniques at home.

Each kit, one for cocktails and one for cooking, includes sachets of natural texturing agents, a set of molecular tools, plus a DVD recipe guide that demonstrates processes such as gelification, spherification and emulsification.

Available to buy online, the Molecular Gastronomy Kits are affordable, and reflect consumers’ increasing interest in recreating the experience of going out at home. For more on this theme, read our Homedulgence macrotrend.
