Welcome to Chef Talk, George. We're delighted to have a person here with your background in food science.
We hope you'll explore the forums, cooking articles, and the special guest forums. Harold McGee was a guest as while back, and we learned a lot from him.
Please visit often; we'll look forward to your participation.
Regards,
