Is cooking a science?

Is cooking a science?

No, it's an art.

No, it's the thing my mom does.

Yeah it´s called chemistry

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

But eating isn't better than sex

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

You've been having food all wrong then

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

Why not?
Isn't cooking just applied Chemistry?

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

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

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

then ur getting low quality sex

whatever you say, Heisenberg

wrong reply.

this was going here

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

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.

what do you think?

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.

What is hierarchy of needs

no, but it can be an engineering.

>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.

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

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

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

No, it's called physics.

No. 1, your mom's ass

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

No, it's chemistry

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.

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

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.
