Gary Allen sent this Periodic Table of Dessert to me for a yuck. But it is really very cool. Check it out!

Welcome to Ruhlman.com where I write about food, cooking, recipes and technique, because the world is better when we cook for ourselves. Thanks for visiting — hope you’ll join the conversation.
That’s pretty funny, mostly because it’s so scientific. I got all excited when I saw that because my parents have a Periodic Table of the Desserts hanging over their kitchen table, but it’s very different from the one you linked. Theirs is arranged in the same way, but has different desserts and pictures of each dessert. If I can find a picture of it I’ll definitely be back with a link.
Found it! It’s not terribly large, but it was the best shot I could find.

Me thinks your parents are most cool!
Ahh, I think what we see here is the difference between Kathryn’s parents’ chart being represented pictorially, rather than Gary Allen’s actual “period” table, showing the chemical “structure” of, say, brulee – but both are a riot! Thanks for the laugh, Bob and Kathryn!
Much as I love the periodic table — in all its incarnations — I cannot claim authorship of this one. I merely found it and passed on to Bob.
(…who passed it on to Grub Street, who passed it on to Slashfood, and then people started emailing me and saying “Hey! Guess where your table showed up!”)
Thank you for the kind words. “Really cool and also yucks” was what I was aiming for.
