NATHAN MYHRVOLD at Town Hall Seattle - Late Breaking Addition!

12/05/2011 7:30 pm

Presented by TOWN HALL with the assistance and presence of ELLIOTT BAY BOOK COMPANY. Just as French Impressionists upended centuries of tradition, Modernist cuisine exploreded the boundaries of the culinary arts, borrowing techniques from the laboratory and incorporating a deeper understanding of science and advances in cooking technology. Nathan Myhrvold, former Chief technology officer at Microsoft, co-founder of Intellectual Ventures, and co-author of the revolutionary, six-volume, 2,400-page Modernist Cuisine (Cooking Lab)—reveals science-inspired techniques for preparing food and shares how the authors and their team achieved astounding new flavors and textures by using tools such as water baths, homogenizers, and centrifuges, and ingredients such as hydrocolloids, emulsifiers, and enzymes. Tickets are $5 at www.brownpapertickets.com or 1-800-838-3006, or at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. Town Hall members receive priority seating. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca).
