If you are unsure whether you wish to experiment with molecular gastronomy, I would suggest you buy a small kit. The one produced by [http://www.molecule-r.com/ Molecule-R] of Canada, is available in the UK from Amazon and [[Lakeland]] and contains sachets of four basic additives and some utensils. It also comes with an instruction leaflet and a DVD. | If you are unsure whether you wish to experiment with molecular gastronomy, I would suggest you buy a small kit.
