COOK, TASTE, LEARN

Cooking food is one of the activities that makes humanity unique. It's not just about what tastes good: advances in cooking technolo gy have been a constant part of our progress, from the ability to control fire to the emergence of agriculture to modern science's u nderstanding of what happens at a molecular level when we apply heat to food. Mastering new ways of feeding ourselves has resulted i n leaps in longevity and explosions in population-and the potential of cooking science is still largely untapped.
