Disappear up your own ass.

>silky, custard-like texture.
Nooooooo thanyouuuuu

Where do I buy sodium alginate in Canada?

There's a tome entitled, "modernist cuisine." You can torrent it. People are moving toward primitivist cuisine,these days.

>>5526671
amazon or molecularrecipes store.

>>5526671
>>5526677
willpowder and modernist pantry also has lots of good stuff

>>5526676
modernist cuisine is a bit to specialized and technical and requires a lot of expensive equipment and is geared more toward professional than home cooks which is why I recommended Modernist Cuisine at Home.

>People are moving toward primitivist cuisine
SOME people are moving toward primitivist cuisine

avant garde/ modernist cuisine is still very prevalent in the industry. Pick up a copy of foodtrends or foodarts once in a while instead of watching food network and working at Applebees and you'd know a little bit about where things are headed

>>5526688
>foodtrends

There is a magazine called this?

>>5526693
It is but its Culinary Trends I was thinking of, FoodTrends/WineTrends and FoodArts you have to be in the industry before theyll let you order I think.

Gastronomica, ArtCulinaire, and The Art of Eating are really good and available to the public.

>>5526671
You can order it online from gourmet warehouse located in Vancouver if ya life there even better

>>5526677
Also testek.com there really good too

>>5526688
Yes. I shall notify my superiors at applebees of this latest trend in food. Ferran's reign of terror is over. Give me a wood fire over an immersion circulator anyday.

>>5526738
>he thinks the Adria's are the only ones cooking in the modernist style
>he thinks you cant use an immersion circulator AND a wood fire

>>5526726
you might want to check that link its an aerospace company. those I quoted are ok I usually use WillPowder or Modernist Pantry (mostly willpowder) and butcher packer for some stuff

>>5526798

>>5526815
neither of those are 500 per plate dumbfuck

>>5526744
Just saying that the modernist style ain't so modern anymore. I have nothing against sous vide octopus tentacles charred over a wood fire. I am also aware that the trend did not die with el bulli. In fact, I was willing to agree with you until the "applebee's" remark. It was at that point when I realized you were just some sort of internet tough guy with no real experience or skill. Some of us are actually cooking out there, and tasting the things we produce. We taste the plants fresh from the soil, then we cook them, then we fucking char them and taste them again. Eventually, we see that there are a few reasons for little gelatinous spheres and sous vide pork bellies, but these are few. Sorry for offending your worldview. We're all just making the world a tastier place in the end.

>>5526812
Can't even spell bogan? Yah fucken redneck galah cunt.

>>5526828
huuur duuur

>>5526820
It's cool if you don't want to read either article, or just don't have the attention span, but don't go around calling people names. It makes you look foolish.

Also
>implying "charity" functions don't count

>>5526834
Ive read both articles neither have a $500 plate and charity functions dont count because the raise the price super high for charity

>>5526839
>http://www.businessinsider.com/worlds-most-expensive-tasting-menus-2013-4#1-guy-savoy-paris-france-25

>$1,228 for two people
>divide $1,228 by 2
>you get $614
>that's $614 per person
>last i checked: 614 is more than 500

I'm guessing you're under the legal drinking age, so you might want to consider the price of drinks (something which is almost never included in the plate price yet almost always purchased). Also, take into account that the average markup for drinks in an average restaurant is around 300%. Drinks can easily push a $300-per-plate meal past $500.

Don't forget about tax and tip.

>>5526855
for 18 courses so 614 divided by 18

so 34/plate

That the noise you fuckwits make when you can't come up with anything good to say?

>>5526867

>>5526866
>i keep saying all this bullshit and he keeps proving me wrong

I know I'll just say aspergers

>>5526798 said charge $500+ a plate
>a plate
not a tasting menu
not a meal plus drinks
or even just a meal
nope a plate
show me a 500 plate of modernist cuisine as they described?

oh you cant?

>>5526869
Maybe I spend too much time on /int/, no banter here.

>>5526877
in what world does a plate imply a tasting menu?

>>5526885
Keep posting irrelevant wikipedia articles to try to hide the fact that you were wrong. Sounds like a solid plan to me.

None of which are Modernist or Avant Garde.

>>5526903
then give me an example where plate actually means a fucking tasting menu

>>5526908
this is bait

weak bait

>>5526912
You're in a thread about modernist cuisine and the post that started this said that modernist chefs charge 500/plate. So again so me an example of one.

>>5526917
Here you go
Eat humble pie
It runs $750 usd
It was $675 usd but raising the price somehow made it taste better

"foodies" are annoying fucks

>>5526922
so no examples then?

>>5526917
>thinks modernist meals use only one plate
>can't comprehend how "plate" and "meal" can be interchangeable

>>5526927
read the OP

>>5526931
the last word faggotry rages on

>>5526932

>>5526935
