Introduction

The ultimate goal is to help students recognise the importance of the scientific principles being applied in everyday life, in particular cooking, cuisine preparation and the enjoyment of food.

Course Benefits

Our students will appreciate the science behind gastronomy, and be able to apply some of these principles in their future cooking practice, including the manipulation of human perception.

The course materials cover the topics of energy transfer, hunger and satiety, the sense of taste, smell, sight and touch.

Food Science into Practice

Most important of all, our learners get to practise the various cooking techniques and try them out in their own kitchen.

Of course, they can also enjoy the products of the experiments.
