Heston Blumenthal sort of thing you mean? He does it in a pretty scientific way from what I understand.

I'm probably not a particularly great cook because I don't cook properly all that often and I don't follow receipes too well, I tend to start off meaning to follow them but then something doesn't go the way it is supposed to according to the book so I just do my own thing to fix it and it usually turns out alright. I do have the advantage of being vegetarian though which means it is usually pretty hard to completely balls up the dish although a couple of mates have managed it.

Ohh interesting link!

Heston Blumenthal seems slightly insane but he does seem to do some interesting recipes Definitely like to try some of his food sometime.

the closest I know of is this site:

http://www.cookingforengineers.com/

it has stuff like this: http://www.cookingforengineers.com/r...icken+and+Rice

Take a look at the diagram at the end of it all. Perfectly suited for the engineering type

Dym has been teaching me to cook since we moved into this house. Prior to this I never really did it much and had pretty much convinced myself that I couldn't do it. He's taught me other wise. I actually quite enjoy cooking. I'm not good at it, but still its good I'm slowly but surely learning to experiment too and just throw stuff together.

I really, really hate not being able to cook here due to the mess / lack of facilities.

When I get home, I might have to fire up some threads for you guys!

I think we need a recipe archive that we can reference. When I went to the shops today I made sure I bought the ingredients for this sauce, and I'd definitely be interested in making other stuff that people have posted/will post. Unfortunately once they drop off the first page I tend to forget about them.

A very excellent idea! A "recipie archive" forum full of cleaned-up threads (or just the OP with the recipie) would be great, but of course would be up to the mods to create and maintain...
