WORKSHOP: CHEMISTRY AND COOKING
Much of cooking is about chemical reactions, says Kalina Dimitrova, engineer and science communicator in Aberdeen. Chemistry starts with reactants and transforms them into products with different properties. Cooking transforms ingredients to provide new textures and tastes, and colours as well. In this workshop we will use some simple ingredients to cook a meal and learn how the individual reactants form the appetising product. “The conclusion, she says, “is that Heat + Chemical Reactions = Dinner!” Numbers are limited to 20, booking essential, £2.
