DOM is the mother lode. As you complete 14 core lessons, each taking no more than 20 \u00a0 minutes of prep (for our total of roughly 4 hours), you will learn the principles needed to cook thousands of dishes. Furthermore, \u201cgear\u201d (pots, pans, etc.) is severely restricted and introduced slowly, making costs gradual. As chef Tom Colicchio, famed restaurateur and head judge on Top Chef, has said: almost anyone can become a great cook with unlimited time and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SCI is where we\u2019ll explore the questions \u201cWhat if?\u201d and \u201cWhy not?\u201d Making ice cream in 30 seconds? Hitting 26 restaurants in 24 hours? Eating 15,000 calories in 20 minutes? It\u2019s all nuts, but as the Cheshire Cat said to Alice, \u201cOh, you can\u2019t help that. Most everyone\u2019s mad here.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the process of learning about the science of food (without really trying), you\u2019ll also learn tricks for next-generation fat loss. For instance, how can you consume 600% of your normal daily calories without getting fat\u2026 or while losing fat? Biochemical sleight of hand, of course. My specialty. Above all, let\u2019s resurrect your childlike curiosity. Embrace the absurd, from forgotten ingredients to spectacular new techniques, and consider it a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure buffet: skip around, pick your favorites, and ignore the rest.

Whey protein isolate (not \u201cconcentrate,\u201d which spoils too easily) has an enormous number of uses. Found in Old Mother Hubbard\u2019s \u201ceating her curds [think cottage cheese] and whey,\u201d whey is a fraction of milk. It can be used as a thickener, a gelling agent, a foaming agent, or to emulsify everything from vinaigrette to mayo. For mayo, you can even sub it for the egg yolk, starting with 0.5% by weight and adjusting as needed. It can be used to create gels; just combine your favorite liquid, 10% WPI by weight, and some calcium lactate (or nigiri salts used for tofu) to trigger the gelling. Tim’s favorite use is chocolate wine. It\u2019s existed for hundreds of years, but here\u2019s the modern method:<\/p>\n
\n
Melt and mix dark chocolate (it\u2019s good for you) into a red dessert wine like Banyuls (around 50 \u00b0 C\/ 122 \u00b0 F).<\/li>\n
Blend well with an immersion blender and then let settle for a few hours (off heat) until the cocoa butter rises to the top. Skim off the fat and save the chocolate-flavored wine underneath.<\/li>\n
Add 0.5% WPI (by weight) to the chocolate wine, warm to a nice drinking temperature (I like 55 \u00b0 C\/ 131 \u00b0 F), and use an Aerolatte or similar foaming wand, or the hand blender, to froth it into a velvety texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
Tim routinely uses unflavored WPI to satisfy the \u201c30 grams within 30 minutes\u201d fat-loss rule. He also consumes either 1 T coconut oil or almond butter to slow the uptake of amino acids, as WPI can act like the simple sugar of proteins: rapid rise and rapid fall into catabolism. Given the many sports and culinary uses it is economical to buy WPI in ridiculously sized jars.\u201cMay preserve muscle glycogen stores and help reduce the amount of protein breakdown during exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spherification, but also an emulsifying salt. This salt of citric acid is often used to soften \u201chard\u201d water to aid spherification; if your water or liquid has too much calcium in it, you won\u2019t be able to get things to successfully spherify. It\u2019s also the secret to a great fondue, in which you want cheese that melts smoothly and not into lumps. The mark of a ruined fondue is separation: curd that burns on the bottom of your pot and a slick of oil floating on top. Traditionally, this was fixed in Switzerland by using low-quality, overly tart wine (high citric acid) that loosened up casein proteins, helping to keep the fondue emulsified and smooth. Luckily, it\u2019s hard to find wine sufficiently bad anymore. Now the solution is what built the Kraft empire: sodium citrate. James Kraft used citrate as a melting salt to make it easy to cast cheese into cans and then sterilize the cans so that the cheese could be shipped unrefrigerated. Emulsifying salts are why Velveeta melts as smoothly as it does. But you can make your own Velveeta using real cheese. It\u2019s easy:<\/p>\n
\n
Shred your favorite hard cheese. If you\u2019re using a really mature cheese like a hard Parmesan, you should blend it with a softer, mild cheese for the best results.<\/li>\n
Add a small amount of water or wine to a pot, add about 0.5% the weight of the cheese in sodium citrate to the liquid, and heat to dissolve.<\/li>\n
Add the cheese a little at a time and stir until it all melts.<\/li>\n
When the cheese is melted, you can adjust the consistency by adding more liquid to make it thinner, or you can pour the molten cheese into a mold, wait for it to harden, and then slice it into your own singles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
Ingested by some athletes 90 minutes prior to race time for events 2\u2013 15 minutes in duration. Orally dosed sodium citrate (often at 0.5 g per kg body weight) quickly degrades into sodium bicarbonate\u2014 baking soda\u2014 which has been demonstrated to improve performance in events 1\u2013 7 minutes in length.Empirically, I can say that there are high responders who see great endurance gains and nonresponders who see nothing at all. For anyone who tries it, use it near a bathroom the first time. It can cause rapid evacuation, if you catch my drift. Sodium citrate is hard to find at GNC, but the Internet provideth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
