Kitchen labs and edible science

Working in a lab is somehow similar to cooking and lab procedures may look like recipes. This hands-on session will welcome participants into a familiar kitchen-like environment and offer short experiments and hands-on activities, exploring the science behind food preparation, production and taste. Different experiments will allow participants to: • explore the chemistry, biology and physics involved in cooking and take it to another level; • understand how tasting experiences can allow to explore what neurosciences reveal on crossmodal and multisensory studies; • understand how the familiar setting of a kitchen affects the informal science learning experience; • learn how particular foods are produced by mixing artisanal know-how and scientific knowledge.
