The outside was rock-hard, the inside was raw and my kitchen smelled like a campfire for hours. At first, I laughed it off, but then I asked myself, <em>why did this happen?<\/em> Was it the oven temperature? The yeast? The timing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That one \u201cfailure\u201d sparked something in me. I realised cooking wasn\u2019t just about following steps in a recipe, it was about understanding the <em>science<\/em> happening behind the scenes. From that day on, I stopped seeing the kitchen as just a place to make food and started treating it like my own mini laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi, I\u2019m Aadit. I live in Dubai and I\u2019m a teenager passionate about both cooking and chemistry. Through this blog, I\u2019ll be exploring recipes from all around the world while breaking down the science that makes them work (or fail spectacularly). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mission is simple: to make cooking and food science less intimidating and more exciting, especially for young people like me who are just getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So whether you\u2019ve burned bread like I did, or you\u2019re just curious about how heat, flavours and ingredients come together, join me as I cook, experiment and share the lessons I learn along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutena-newsletter gutena-newsletter-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-border-color has-background-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-67c02a15 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-color:#0c0c0c;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-radius:10px;margin-top:0;margin-right: 0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:40px;padding-right: 40px;padding-bottom:40px;padding-left:40px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center gutena-newsletter-col-first is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/myculinarychemistry.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/newsletter-block-by-gutena\/build\/images\/image.c7f425bc.png\" alt=\"Image\" style=\"width:140px;height:115px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column gutena-newsletter-col-last is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:6px;margin-left:0px;font-size:28px\">Subscribe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;font-size:14px\">Sign up for free content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutena-newsletter-form gutena-newsletter-form-block message-left\" style=\"--gutena--newsletter-input-button-gap:10px\"><form class=\"gutena-newsletter-form row stacked\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutena-newsletter-input-field gutena-newsletter-form-input-block has-text-color has-background\" style=\"border-radius:5px;color:#000000;background-color:#EBEBEB;padding-top:12px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:20px;font-size:15px\"><input type=\"email\" id=\"gutena-newsletter-field\" class=\"gutena-newsletter-field left\" placeholder=\"name@email.com\" aria-label=\"Input Field\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutena-newsletter-submit-button gutena-newsletter-submit-button-block auto has-text-color has-background\" style=\"border-radius:5px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#3F6DE4;padding-top:12px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:20px;font-size:14px;--gutena--newsletter-button-icon-spacing:5px;--gutena--newsletter-button-icon-color:#ffffff\"><button type=\"submit\" id=\"gutena-newsletter-action\" class=\"gutena-newsletter-action icon-right with-text\" aria-label=\"Submit Buton\"><span class=\"gutena-newsletter-button-text\"><span>Subscribe<\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/form><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">I won\u2019t send you spam.
