See the Wikipedia page on 'molecular gastronomy' (http://

You can decorate a plate of excellent food, but these folks actually  
design the food. Not that I have enough money to try this particular  
cuisine.

Oh -- and folks in the UK may still be able to catch Heston  
Blumenthal's 'Kitchen Chemistry' TV series. I happened across a few  
episodes on the Internet and got hooked, but haven't been able to  
find any more. See his book of the same name (http://www.amazon.com/ 
Kitchen-Chemistry-Ted-Lister/dp/0854043896).
