Anyone ever hear of this? Or maybe even participate in it? Cooking has always mystified me. I have always wanted to be a good cook but it doesn't come second nature to me so I've never taken a cooking class.
This intrigued me so much after watching a u tube cooking channel making fried ice cream. Science and physics through food!!

Hadn't seen this, but that was what was so great about Alton Brown's show - he went into the science of cooking far more than any other show had ever done. It's definitely really interesting stuff (and helps you in the kitchen to understand why you do what you do).

FWIW, there's one season of Good Eats Reloaded out. There is also a reboot of the show on Discovery+ iirc.
