I'm a researcher in neurosciences, cooking is one of my hobbies.
I'm Italian and live in the South of France, so I'm pretty good at Mediterranean cuisine (or so they say).
I love Asian food, especially Thai and Indian.

Can dry ice in a liquid poison you? True, although it must be said that once the pieces are dissolved there won't pratically be any CO2 left, as most will have evaporated. |

Wine selection when dining on horse meat? @BobMcGee: yes I think the wines are fine, a Cabernet Sauvignon would probably be my first choice I guess. I was just surprised to read horse meat is bland! |
