fanfic idea: molecular gastronomy
Musing about Sherlock's kitchen skills, I had the idea of Sherlock discovering molecular gastronomy for Baker Street,
perhaps after John gave him a voucher for such course as a gift?
Sounds funny and promising, but I cannot write it.
Anybody?

Re: fanfic idea: molecular gastronomy
Good idea. KP, what do you think? Dangerous chemical and physical experiments involving food. Followed by a candlelight dinner.

Re: fanfic idea: molecular gastronomy
Oh no Susi......writing about molecular gastronomy would be way over my head - unfortunately, not my area or my division 
. I'm just not that smart. But I bet you are!
But I love the idea of a bunsen burner light dinner! Now that I might be able to work in somewhere.....

And I said "dangerous" and here you are.
You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

Sounds like fun. I would like to try. I don't know much about molecular gastronomy, but with some internet research it should work. If nobody else wants to take the challenge.

Re: fanfic idea: molecular gastronomy
I believe, KP, you are smart enough, only of course it is useful to know a bit about organic chemistry.
Looking forward to your burner light dinner story
QE, brave girl! Good luck with your try!
As romantic as Sherlock gets ...

Re: fanfic idea: molecular gastronomy
Would you mind if I also use the bunsen burner idea? It fits so perfectly into the story.

Re: fanfic idea: molecular gastronomy
I've finished a rough draft. It's going to have three or four chapters and be completely crazy. But I still have to do the research for the cooking part and get the language and grammar right, that's going to take a while.

Re: fanfic idea: molecular gastronomy
Yes, very much at the moment. It's fun. Although Mrs Hudson wouldn't find funny what Sherlock is doing to her kitchen.

Re: fanfic idea: molecular gastronomy
If you can find any links to the chef Heston Blumenthal's work these might prove useful. He is well-known for using high level scientific techniques in his cooking e.g. dry ice/card ice.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Re: fanfic idea: molecular gastronomy
Yes, I "used" him for the story also but changed his name to "Vallefiori".

Re: fanfic idea: molecular gastronomy
Very good. And it doesn't sound as evil as his real name.
