    * This likes going through ancient recepy books pref. from 18 and 19th centurie. He says that Madame Saint-Ange ( who wrote the bible of bourgeois cuisine in 1927) is a mine of sayings, bit that much of her sayings are incorrect. More exact are Le Livre de Cuisine by Jules Gouffe (first published in 1867) and Auguste Escoffier's Guide Culinaire. Escoffier recomended that pepper need to be added to a stock only eight minutes before it tis taken of the heat, Herve found out that further cooking means the spicy aromatic molecules volatilise and are replaced by bitter tannins. This is the man who knows how to unboil an egg.

La Gastronomie moléculaire a cinq objectifs 
  - le recensement et l'exploration physico-chimiques des dictons culinaires
  - la modélisation des pratiques culinaires en vue de perfectionnements
  - l'introduction d'outils, méthodes et ingrédients nouveaux en cuisine domestique ou de restaurant
  - l'invention de plats nouveaux fondés sur les analyses des mets classiques
  - la présentation des sciences au public, fondée sur l'analyse des gestes culinaires
