Cooking as Alchemy


I am addicted to watching TED talks. I love the sharing of innovative and interesting ideas.

I came across this video of Homaro Cantu and  Ben Roche. They are trained chefs who have taken cooking and eating to a place in which we have no reference. It's amazing that they have been able to take ingredients and turn them into something that our eyes, brains, and palette may not be able to comprehend.

For instance, the plate of nachos seen above is actually a dessert! They have also been able to take everyday plants growing freely such as weeds and crab apples and make them into something we all recognize as food. It's an inspiring concept.

Enjoy the video!
