Molecular Gastronomy for beginners

[MrDelicious]

This is the kit I bought:

http://www.modernistpantry.com/spherification-kit.html

Cheap and has enough ingredients to try several experiments.

The only thing I wish it came with was the cool spoon with the holes in it.

I also bought a scale that reads 1/10s of grams but allows up to 3Kg.

That allows you to measure your liquids on the same scale.

Some of the other cheap scales won't go over 1000 grams (or maybe even less).

I had great success making Cantaloupe Caviar this weekend.

I'd still like to find out how to make larger cavier. Mine came out small-ish.

If you have Modernist Cuisine, have a look at the recipe for Mojito Spheres: they are very large (I'd say too large, to be honest).
