US 'modernist' chef takes on Gallic gastronomes
LOS ANGELES — A US mathematician who used to work for Microsoft is hoping to win over Gallic gastronomes, as he takes his "modernist" cooking methods to the home of traditional gourmet cuisine.
Defying critics who he argues view cooking "like religion," chef Nathan Myhrvold is about to publish a French -- and German and Spanish -- version of his "Modernist Cuisine," which mixes molecular science with the culinary arts.
The huge five-volume, 2,440 page tome, published in the United States and Britain earlier this year, also has a hefty price tag at 399 euros ($540), but Myhrvold says he hopes his ideas will win over new fans across the Atlantic.
He even likens conservative reaction to modernist methods -- whose exponents include Heston Blumenthal in Britain and Spanish masterchef Ferran Adria -- to the reception Nouvelle Cuisine initially received.
"Most really good cooks anywhere in the world in the 90s cooked in a style which was a combination of Escoffier and Nouvelle Cuisine," he said, referring to renowned Gallic master Auguste Escoffier.
