Finding the Right Chemistry at Boot Camp
By Curtis F. Holmes, Ph.D.
Cooking is a lot like laboratory chemistry. I should know—I am a 40-year veteran professional chemist and hold numerous patents. This connection between cooking and chemistry came to me while standing in the beautifully appointed kitchen at the CIA in Hyde Park, NY during my Boot Camp course.
