About

Hello, I'm Chris Young. I'm the coauthor of the James Beard award winning books Modernist Cuisine with Nathan Myhrvold. I've also started companies like ChefSteps, and created products like the Joule sous vide circulator and the Combustion Predictive Thermometer. Before this I was the head development chef for Heston Blumenthal at The Fat Duck restaurant. And before that I studied mathematics and biochemistry, which has proven incredibly useful as a lifelong curious cook.

**Check out my newest video -- the secret to how we made stock at The Fat Duck: https://youtu.be/3k20zFlbFfE Flames! Danger! Math! Meat! This video has it all. I put searing to the test and go deep into how it really works. Along the way I'll show you several ways (from the simple to the extreme) to get a great sear on your perfect steak for a good looking and flavorful crust, with minimal overcooking from edge-to-edge.
