The dice feature an array of ingredients for all seasons. Don’t miss out on their Mixology Dice to ensure you mix-up your weekend cocktails!

Molecular Gastronomy Kit

Cuisine R-Evolution $49.95

If you are looking for a gift for a creative type who loves to get a little crazy in the kitchen, the kits from MoleCule-R* are a perfect gift for the closet chemist. They have Molecular Gastronomy kits that allow you to experiment with gelification, emulsification and spherification which equated to flavor bubbles, foam and caviar and noodles! They also have similar kits that allow you to create similar “tricks” and incorporate them into your favorite cocktails. My favorite item of theirs is the Aroma R-Evolution, also known as the AromaFork. This kit comes with a wide array of aromas that you place on a small pad that fits onto a specially created fork that allows you to intensify your dining experience and engage all of your senses in the process. Check out their website now to make the most of their holiday specials.
