Ever wondered why we cook the way we do? Come and cook a dish and learn what is happening.
About this Event

Why does a quiche set solid? Why does bread rise? Why does a cake go golden? Why does a sauce thicken? What makes a scone rise? Why does pasta swell up? Why does jelly set? How do coatings stick? Plus more. Come and learn the science behind what you cook whilst you cook. Spend the morning cooking and learning with a little nutrition thrown in too. Take home the dish you make.

A different topic every time. The first one is all about protein and coagulation and making a savoury flan.
