| Former Microsoft CTO and modern-day Renaissance man Nathan Myhrvold is focusing on a new passion: high-tech cooking. Myhrvold discusses recipes from the new mega cookbook, Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking. Think hamburgers dipped in liquid nitrogen, french fries cooked with ultrasound, and pea butter whirled in a centrifuge. See a slideshow of images from the book here. |
