Now he is one of the youngest chefs in history to earn three Michelin stars and, just shy of his 39th birthday, is the leading light of molecular gastronomy, an emerging school of cooking that emphasizes the science of cuisine--like understanding why meat is best slow-cooked at 136 (higher temperatures cause the proteins to tighten up and release their juices into the pan).
