Science show
Commented presentation

The true WEALTH isn’t hidden only in gold and gemstones, but also in the molecules of flavours, colours, and aromas or “Cooking is chemistry”

As chemists like to say: “Chemical experiments are like cooking, only you mustn't lick the spoon.”

We say: “Why not both?”

Molecular gastronomy reveals clever tricks for creating delicious treats using chemical reactions and physical processes. Cooking with frozen vapour? Edible foams? Turning liquids into caviar? Science in the kitchen can be tasty, playful, and bring out the hidden WEALTH of every bite.
