Chemistry Quote by Ferran Adria
“When people think science and cooking, they have no idea that it's not correctly expressed. We're actually applying the scientific method. People think chemistry and physics are science, but the scientific method is something else… It's the science that the world of cooking generates: science of butter; science of the croissant.”
