Course description

The Science of Food and Cooking is a laboratory-based, semester-long course designed for motivated, college-bound students interested in the scientific foundations of the culinary arts. Students will investigate how principles of biology, chemistry and physics affect the transformation of raw ingredients into delicious foods, developing as scientists and cooks along the way. Learn why a cast-iron pan always gives the best sear on a steak, how a pinch of baking soda can make quick work of caramelizing onions, and much more!
