  1. ChrisZ said: Just an updated link for the latest batch. These are the last few kits I have left.
  2. For the less common ingredients - those immediately identifiable as used in molecular gastronomy - I used feedback and advice from members of the eGullet site, there's a thread devoted to the topic of sourcing ingredients for Modernist Cuisine. It basically came down to sourcing from either whipped cream supplies in the UK, or Willpowder in the US - I went with Willpowder because the shipping was cheaper. Both were very helpful with emails though, and each has a slightly different range. Willpowder stocks N Zorbit but not Gellan, Whipped Cream Supplies the other way around for example. The Gellan in the kits is direct from CP Kelco. The more common ingredients, such as the food acids, were sourced locally from a few different online wholesalers. While I could be wrong, I didn't think there would be much variation between citric acid suppliers, for example. But if you're in the US then I can recommend Willpowder, but head over to eGullet and read the thread on suppliers. I'd post the link but as I'm writing this their servers are down for maintenance.
  3. I posted this question over at the eG forums, but thought I could post it here as well. With normal OO pasta flour, the MC recipe calls for 57.6% egg yolks. I weighed the egg yolks I had and they averaged 20g each, but for 1kg flour that's 576g egg yolks, or 29 eggs! Is it possible to use lecithin powder instead? How would you calculate the amount of lecithin powder needed to emulate an egg yolk? It's possible that it will work out cheaper to simply use the 29 eggs, but I have no idea what I would do with 29 egg whites and adding lecithin powder to pasta seems far less decadent than so many eggs.
  4. Hi, For those in Australia I have been sourcing ingredients for modernist cuisine and have put together a few kits, which are currently up on Ebay. You can view the kits at the Australian Ebay site. This is not a business, it was just more economic for me to buy in larger quantities than to buy 20g of stuff at a time mail-order. Once these kits go, there will be no more… -Chris
