He definitely isn't a Michelin star chef, technically he isn't even a chef. A chef runs a professional kitchen at a profit, he runs a research lab. I'm sure he's an excellent cook but I don't think he's even worked in a restaurant with a michelin star, let alone been the head chef at one.
- ttul 6y agoI stand corrected! He is not a Michelin star chef; however, he does have a culinary diploma from a respected French cooking school and has racked up some significant accomplishments in the world of cooking and baking, not least being his epic series of books called "Modernist Cuisine". From Wikipedia: "While working as chief technology officer at Microsoft, Myhrvold took leave to earn his culinary diploma from École de Cuisine La Varenne in France. Myhrvold's early culinary training was as an observer and unpaid apprentice at Rover's, one of Seattle's leading restaurants, with Chef Thierry Rautureau. Myhrvold is the principal author of a culinary text entitled Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking, released in March 2011, on the application of scientific research principles and new techniques and technology to cooking. That book, which earned a James Beard Foundation Award for "cookbook of the year" in 2012, was followed by the books Modernist Cuisine at Home, The Photography of Modernist Cuisine, and Modernist Bread: The Art and Science, all self-published by Myhrvold and with him as lead author. Myhrvold was part of a team that won first place at the world barbecue championships in Memphis. He has appeared as a guest judge on Top Chef."
