The good people at Terressentia have come up with a way of using science to make booze taste better by removing impurities left over from the distillation process. In short, with typical distillation, there are lesser alcohols that are formed that leave a harsh taste in the mouth and contribute to hangovers. By using their patentend process, Terressentia can remove these unwanted elements making the refined product taste cleaner and smoother. The distillation process has pretty much been the same for the last hundred years or so and after watching the video, I am surprised that no one has thought of this before. I suppose purists may argue that the real craft of making superb liquors is in the skill of the brewmaster. That being said, the idea of demystifying the process through science is very appealing to geek in me.

It is pretty much fact that cooks love knives. Of all the gear in kitchens, we love knives the most. We covet them, baby them and cut stuff up with them. I am no exception. I am constantly on the prowl for new knives, innovative knives; knives that speak to me. Thats when I came across this video about Cut Brooklyn, I was instantly taken in.

In my other life, outside of cooking, I am a huge geek. I love tech and I am a bit of a Mac nerd. While I love both worlds, there are few cases where the two meet. For example, while I am typing this, my left index finger is unusable and pretty tender as I removed a large portion of the end of it while butchering a pork shoulder. Even still, its hardly a case of two world colliding, more of one bleeding into the other, if you pardon the pun.

Recently, the LA Times reported that the smarty pants people at Cornell University had developed tool food tool for “solid freeform fabrication.” Basically, its a 3D printer (currently all the rage in nerd circles) for food. Layer by yummy layer, food is created or built. As a prime example, I direct your attention to the image below. The small golden nugget is a in fact a) shaped like a space shuttle and b) made of scallop puree.
