Hi all,

My name is Jasper and I'm from the Netherlands. This is my first post here so it should be an introduction .
I love to eat and especially cook. I hope to learn some new techniques and start experimenting with molecular gastronomy.

Welcome Jasper! I'm sure you'll get lots of ideas from the cooks here. Just a question--what is "molecular gastronomy"?

Hi Marlingardener,
Thanks for your reply.
Among other things, the study and usage of different temperatures, viscosity and the various states of matter of the product. For example the creation of a foam or gel made from parmesan cheese or crunchy pearls made out of a liquor with a still liquid center.

It looks great! What did you use to make the spaghetti?

Welcome to DC, Jasper! Glad to have you here.

Joey, that plating looks great! I hope that tasted as good as it looks.

What's the green?

Going to take a guess here, dragn, and say that it looks like chives, cut on the bias and in random lengths.
