- The chemistry of cooking (1) Water – the secret super ingredient
E39The chemistry of cooking (1) Water – the secret super ingredientWithout water, there would be no delicacies: in the episode "Water", Dr Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim explores the most versatile of all elements. Water is not only the source of all life, but also occurs in all its states of aggregation in the kitchen: liquid, gaseous and as ice. Water is needed for a hearty bouillabaisse in a southern French harbour, for steaming the perfect yeast dumplings in the Alps, but also for creamy Sicilian granita. The chemist also explains what water has to do with the perfect French fries. Crispy French fries, steaming bouillabaisse or creamy vanilla sauce: the Terra X documentary shows why water plays a central role in the kitchen. Not only when cooking, steaming and blanching. - The chemistry of cooking (2) Fire – Why heat enhances flavour
E40The chemistry of cooking (2) Fire – Why heat enhances flavourThe episode "Fire" is entirely devoted to the hot element: how do you cook on an open fire? What is the Maillard reaction, and why are crispy, golden-brown foods so delicious? From a Swedish Michelin-starred chef to a traditional pizza baker on the coast of Naples – fire has always brought people together, and it is heat that creates certain flavours without which many of our favourite dishes would be unthinkable. How is candyfloss made, what is the Maillard reaction and why does smoke preserve food? The "Terra X" documentary shows how fire and temperature have shaped our diet for thousands of years. - Worlds Saga (14): The Treasures of Indonesia
