Kitchen Modernism With Nathan Myhrvold January 17, 2012, 6:41 pm Some of the modernist cooking techniques that Nathan Myhrvold showed me for this week's column seem a lot more confusing than they actually are - at least if you've never, say, cooked salmon using fake sous vide before. These four short videos help illustrate the methods. And it's instructive to hear Mr. Myhrvold talk about the recipes, explaining some of the finer points in more depth than in a written recipe.
