Regarding the practice of molecular gastronomy, Gordon Ramsay expressed criticism by stating that "food should not be played with by scientists." He further argued that a chef should rely on their own "fingers and his tongue" rather than using a "test tube" in the kitchen.1

It is important to note, however, that this criticism does not represent his final stance on the subject, as Ramsay later became a fan of the cooking of Ferran Adrià, a leading figure in the movement.1
