Kathleen is interested in learning about molecular gastronomy, so she starts with learning how to make Baked Alaska. Why is this dish considered molecular gastronomy?

A. It blends foods from several cultures.

B. It depends on the interactions of heat and cold.

C. It is designed to impress food critics with its novelty.

D. It was invented in France and requires special equipment.

Answer 1

B because when baked Alaska is placed in the oven it stays frozen and molecular gastronomy is a branch of food science that focuses on the physical and chemical processes that arise when cooking. These processes and interactions are explored and manipulated to yield flavorful, functional, and artistic results. The artistic result is that it stays frozen even when in a hot environment
