Child’s Play — Cooking Alinea

Theo, 5, and James, 9, cook a recipe from the Alinea cookbook.  The recipe is pheasants with shallots, cider gel, birch, and oak leaves.  The Alinea cookbook is a molecular gastronomy book.  Molecular Gastronomy combines high tech science and cooking, made famous by chefs like Grant Achatz.   It seems a bit ambitious, but they’re cute, and the recipe seems to turn out.

    James: “Can’t we just take it into space and open it up?”

  2. I know he’s only 5 and a half, but I think giving that kid an actual knife (Even just a paring knife) would be better than letting him go at stuff with that plastic. He’ll be fine, the Dad knows what he’s doing.
