Molecular gastronomy is a term invented by Nicholas Kurti, a Hungarian nutritionist. Gastronomy focuses on culinary science, but many people do not want to apply science in the kitchen because people think it is not related to cooking. The two indirectly collaborate because science helps create tools and determine the ingredients used.
