I found this on Serious Eats, but it looks like it’s from a book. Anyone know what book it is? This picture is awesome. Maybe one day, with enough practice, sweat, and tears, you will be able to tame the breath of the dragon.
Update: As noted in the comments, this comes from Modernist Cuisine, a super high-end book series on that art and science of cooking. Catch the video below on how this photograph and others like it were taken.
Must be modernist cuisine (http://modernistcuisine.com/).
Indeed, it’s from Modernist Cuisine, which has some really spectacular photography.

Here is a lecture by Nathan Myhrvold and Chris Young, where they talk about the book, including how they made these photos:
@Andy, I found out about that book via Freakonomics- this was a delightful episode with Nathan and Alice Waters! http://bit.ly/gfRgct [freakonomicsradio.com]
Thanks for sharing that video Andy – y’all beat me to the punch.
Thanks, all. I’m going to have to get myself a copy of Modernist Cuisine.
Yours for only $461
Andy, thanks for the You Tube link. Nathan, I came across an article about this book in “The Scientist”. http://www.the-scientist.com/article/display/57826/
While you’re at it, get a copy of Einstein’s Cookbook. It was basically written for the geek-chef who wants to get a little better at being both. My wife loved it.
nathan myhvold was on the colbert report talking about the book a little while back

bdavis, could you please be more specific with Einstein’s Cookbook, perhaps a link? Searching does not show any obvious matches. Thanks a lot.
Thanks everyone for the links, very nice.
