Scientist and gourmet Harold McGee’s On Food and Cooking is credited with inspiring a generation of creative chefs including Heston Blumenthal and tonight’s guest, Barcelona ‘creative cuisine’ star, Jordhi Artal. McGee’s book was revolutionary in examining everything that happened in the kitchen from a rigorously scientific viewpoint, discovering the truth about the physics and chemistry of cuisine, and on the way kickstarting the movement that became known as “molecular gastronomy”.

By The Book:
Robert Lloyd Praeger’s The Way That I Went

(RTE Lyric FM, Sunday, Nov 4, 10pm)

Even on our small island, there are very few who could claim to have trodden every inch of the land – and fewer still who could do so with reason. In this program, round-Ireland seakayaker, Eileen Murphy, shares her passion for Robert Lloyd Praeger’s delightfully exhaustive chronicle of the Irish countryside and a life spent walking it.
