fruit purees

Molecular gastronomy is hot. Or cold as the case may be. While you can make cool stuff by taking some liquid nitrogen to raspberry puree like this fellow, or zapping some herbs with a laser, sometimes you need some really specialized equipment ;-) We have found several excellent sites that sell food additives and equipment used in molecular gastronomy. One of the sites also has some really cool recipes and we are busy adding them to the recipe search engine.


www.le-sanctuaire.com - This site is really cool and has a huge selection of spherification additives, gelification additives, fruit purees, nut pastes, coloring powders, texture modifiers, technological sugars truffles and other specialty foods. The site is a bit janky but worth it for all the cool stuff they offer.


www.willpowder.net - This site is operated by Will Goldfarb, a molecular gastronomy enthusiast, pastry wonderkind, and restaurateur. Specialty pastry supplies, including emulsification, spherification, flavor/spice, gelification, thickening and foam.


www.texturaselbulli.com - This is a line of MG products released by El Bulli, the spanish restaurant famous for starting the movement. The site is nice, and there are videos describing how to use each product, but there is no online store so you will have to select from the list of distributors and order from them.
