MOTO: The Cookbook

undefined

Review ------ "Cantu is an international leader in molecular tronomy-he is equal parts artist and mad scientist. Using science and technology, he is challenging the very definition of what is, and what isn't, food... The mind-bending dishes he is serving today could change what you eat tomorrow."--CNN's The Next List "While Cantu is most certainly a chef, he is also someone whose approach to innovation has relevance far beyond the kitchen."--Fast Company "Cantu was known nationally as a chef who incorporated his playful personality and the thrill of science into the menu at his high-end... restaurant Moto.... Cantu wowed diners with edible menus, carbonated fruit and a fish preparation that cooked before your eyes in a op polymer box, but his ambitions went beyond culinary pleasures.... Cantu presented food and science as a way to solve the world's problems, particularly hunger."--The Chicago Tribune "Homaro Cantu is the creative force behind Chicago's molecular tronomy hot spot Moto and Cantu Designs, a future-focused firm where his team work on wildly varying food-related projects....[his] inventions range from the mad-scientist realm... to humanitarian efforts directed at issues as monumental as world hunger."--Gourmet "Cantu [had a] trailblazing, futuristic style [that] earned him accolades for his restaurants...[and] actively embraced technology in the kitchen."--Eater "Homaro Cantu's skill in the kitchen and creative spirit helped to make Chicago the culinary capital it is today."--Office of the Mayor of Chicago "Homaro Cantu wasn't a cook, he was an artist, an inventor, a mad genius. His death devastates Chicago and the world."--Peter Sagal, host of NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me "It's fascinating... to dive into Cantu's imagination, where food can be cooked in a tiny aerogel box that stays cool on the exterior, and a menu is turned into a giant tortilla chip.... You too can char wood chips to include in a sous vide bag with pork belly, and carbonate orange wedges in a whipped cream canister."--Maggie Hoffman, Plate "The recipes showcase Cantu's unparalleled wit and culinary curiosity."--The Chicago Tribune Book Description ---------------- The magnus opus of a brilliantly creative culinary mind.
