When was Modernist Cuisine created?

Modernist Cuisine, the book series and the overall culinary movement, didn't have a single, specific date of creation. However, we can pinpoint some key moments:

* 2003: Nathan Myhrvold, a former Microsoft Chief Technology Officer, started a team of chefs and scientists to explore the science of cooking.

* 2008: The first volume of the book series, "Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking", was published.

* 2011: The remaining volumes, "Modernist Cuisine: The Techniques" and "Modernist Cuisine: At Home", were released.

Therefore, while the research began in 2003, the full realization of the project with the book series launch was in 2008. The "Modernist Cuisine" movement itself began gaining traction in the culinary world at the same time, with chefs and culinary enthusiasts adopting the techniques and principles outlined in the books.
