Practice Molecular Gastronomy at Home with the Food Styling R-Evolution

Are you a molecular gastronomy geek? Are you the sort who has dreamed of dining at El Bulli or Alinea, but you’ve never been able to make the trip? Are Ferran Adrià and Grant Achatz your gods? Do you think you have what it takes to be on MasterChef?

If you’re the sort who loves high cuisine and cooking at home, you might want to try out the MOLECULE-R FOOD STYLING R-EVOLUTION. It comes with everything you need to catapult your home cooking into the sort of things you might find at a Michelin Starred-restaurant.

The kit comes with one pair of precision scissors, one pair of fine scissors, a scalpel with two blades, one culinary syringe, two syringe tips, one oil mister, and two spatulas. That gives you everything you need to impress your friends or that special person in your life. Find recipes on the website like the Bloody Caesar Bubble that just bursts with flavor in your mouth the moment you bite into it. There’s also a deconstructed Miso soup, which comes with miso agar noodles,  topped with a lime and cilantro foam. Want to attempt to recreated Adrià’s deconstructed martini in a spherical olive? This kit can help you do that

With the kit, you can do all the basic molecular gastronomy techniques — make caviar balls with a pipette; emulsify liquids into light, air foams; spherification allows you to create bubbles of flavor that can be left up to your imagination. Want a pineapple-flavored caviar? You can do that. Tomato foam? You can make that too. You have endless options for creating the kind of food you thought only top chefs could make. There’s no sense in spending hundreds of dollars — or more! — going after the world’s finest molecular gastronomy when you can fuse science in the culinary arts in the comfort of your own home.

All you need is the kit, the ingredients, and a lot of imagination.

10 smoky scotch whisky options to make those fall campfires magical
Our favorite smoky scotch whisky brands for late-summer drinking
Campfire whisky

The end of summer is barreling toward us like a pumpkin spice-fueled locomotive. Depending on where you live, you’re likely already seeing some signs of fall. The leaves are beginning to change color, the days are getting shorter, and Halloween candy is already on grocery store shelves. Fear not, even with the eventuality that is the end of summer, we still have until September 23 to enjoy all that the season has to offer. For us, it means as many backyard campfires as possible before the weather grows colder. It also means we only have weeks left to pair our fires with a glass of warming Scotch whisky.

Nobody will blame you for complimenting the smoky fire by drinking a complex, non-peated single malt Scotch whisky. For those confused about the spelling, most of the world omits the 'e' when referring to whisky. You also might be wondering the difference between Scotch and whiskey. Well, in the simplest terms, Scotch is a kind of whisky (Americans and the Irish still use the 'e'). So that should put an end to the Scotch vs. whiskey debate once and for all.

Take a break from pumpkin beer: The best Oktoberfest beers to drink this fall
These delicious drinks are perfect for crisp fall days
Pint of beer

There are at least a handful of holidays (especially drinking centered holidays) that many drinkers don’t really know the true origins of. We know these are special days in which we drink tequila and Mexican beer (Cinco de Mayo), Irish whiskey or dry Irish stouts (St. Patrick’s Day), and giant pints of malty, refreshing German beer (Oktoberfest). And while we’ll get into the other two when the time comes, it’s Oktoberfest’s time in the spotlight.

Oktoberfest is more than simply a day to wear your grandfather’s lederhosen, drink Marzen, eat schnitzel, and listen to oom-pah music. It’s a two-week festival (the actual party is in Munich) that’s celebrated each fall to remember the wedding of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810.
