Welcome to BigBangKitchen!

The notion of this blog was started this summer when, while on vacation and also celebrating a marked anniversary with family, I was in the kitchen mixing a salad dressing of vinegar (regular) instead of the called for balsamic vinegar and some brown sugar: “that does not go together” (or some form of that statement, says my niece (coming from an organic chemistry perspective)). I kept mixing the two together and asked her to taste the mixture. “That is good!”

From that moment onwards was the conversation of food and science. Yes, I am sure these two (food & science) have been together for some time before hand and will continue to be together for a very long time. Even more so now, with more research being done on how food interacts with the body to maintain good health, how properties of whole foods have some amazing benefits for the body to prevent illness, and how there is so much research that is assisting to produce the variety of supplements we now find on the grocery store aisles and speciality food stores!

As we get started with BigBangKitchen, feel free to leave comments, share some info and even post recipes too! BigBankKitchen is about sharing knowledge, transfering the knowledge about food and science, be it quirky or how to salvage a flaming BBQ dessert! This site will be a dynamic on-going site that will have tidbits of useful information on food and the science that goes with it, or the science and the food that goes with it … depends on your perspective!

Happy kitchening & cooking!
