Science in the Kitchen – from Farm to Fork
A course aimed at enthusiasts who wish to immerse themselves in the world of cooking, embracing the entire supply chain, from the land with its fresh produce to the plate and beyond!
The cooking activities will be approached in their relationship with sciences such as ecology, botany, nutrition and chemistry, with the value of sustainability as a common thread that unites the various sessions.
Masterclasses will be conducted by university professors and experts to provide the theoretical framework and scientific evidence that will be tested in practical sessions and workshops.
Foraging and harvesting in the nearby woods and gardens will be combined with cooking activities in the Food Lab, transforming fresh herbs, plants and flowers into healthy, sustainable and tasty recipes.
An evening at the wonderful Verduno Castle to discover a restaurant where the kitchen garden of chef Alessandra Buglioni is an integral part of the philosophy and practices of her cuisine.
And, last but not least, an educational journey to discover Reis, a mountain gastronomic reality at the foot of the Monviso mountain, a perfect example of the Farm to Fork concept and of building community through food.
