Is cooking a science?

No, it's an art.

No, it's the thing my mom does.

>>8068885
Yeah it´s called chemistry

eating is better than sex. science is better than sex. therefor, cooking is science

>>8069047
But eating isn't better than sex

>>8068889
this

molecular gastronomy is a meme

>what if we took a non-gelatinous food
>and made it gelatinous
>receive seven awards and a restaurant chain

i wouldn't call cooking itself a science, but some chefs today are using some really high-level chemistry and biology knowledge to make new food
most of the time the stuff they make is just avant-garde novelty bullshit, but occasionally it's something cool


>cooking is applied chemistry

>>8069071
You've been having food all wrong then

>>8068889
This is correct, using scientific knowledge doesn't make it a science.

>>8069360
Why not?
Isn't cooking just applied Chemistry?

>>8069071
it is.
You've clearly never had sex. Or at least not enough.

>>8070761
no, chemistry is applied cooking when you think about it really hard.

>>8070765
I've been in a stable relationship for the last 6 years and having sex at least twice a week.
Also I've been to multiple Michelin-Star Restaurants and cooking at home pretty much every day.

Sex>Food all day,every day

whatever you say, Heisenberg

>>8070780
wrong reply.

this was going here >>8069071

>>8070780
Doesn't that mean if I got higher quality sex the equation would be Sex>>>Food?

>>8070773
you're just too submissive to realize it.
It's ok, it will kick in. As I said, not long enough.

Friendly reminder that if you think food > sex xou're a sinful glutton fat fuck.
And if you think sex > food you barely evolved from the pure animal state and are unworthy of being considered human.
But don't worry, you both belong in hell anyway.

>>8070831
what do you think?

>>8068885
Food science is a science.
Molecular Gastronomy is a science.

Cooking is not a science, nor is it even the application of scientific knowledge. We didn't need chemistry to figure out how to cook.

>>8069071
What is hierarchy of needs

>>8068885
no, but it can be an engineering.

>>8070831
>not renouncing both food and sex
>not transcending the most basal human needs
>not being the next stage in human evolution

I do not partake in the competition of unwanted animalistic biological needs like you sodomites do.

>>8071036
Oh so you don't think. Shocker.
What was I expecting.

>>8071033
>the next step in human evolution doesn't reproduce
okay

>>8071040
Thinking isn't a biological need, spawn of satan.

>>8069040
No, it's called physics.

>>8071019
No. 1, your mom's ass

>>8070884
Food science is a legitimate course of study, but molecular gastronomy is literally putting a science/cooking demonstration for yuppies. Also, the name molecular gastronomy could not be more of a meme

>>8068885

No, it's chemistry

>>8071126
no, it's called chemistry

there's a reason chemistry is not just called "APPLIED PHYSICS" like all the naive 2nd year undergraduate meme students are ignorant enough to believe, and that is because it is fundamentally different from physics

No, but baking is.

>>8070761

When it's applied, it's not science anymore, it's art. Just like medicine is applied biology.

>>8074380
that's not how medicine works you fucking idiot. medicine existed before biology.

It had the potential to be, but it is often not. lots of people cook only based on intuition from gained experience.
