Researchers' Night Hamilton
175 Longwood Road South L8P 0A1 Hamilton, ON, Canada

On Monday Feb. 10th, 2020 "Thoughts for Food" will feature Dr. Christophe Lavelle. Dr. Lavelle is a research scientist at the National Research Centre in Franc...e, working at the National Museum of Natural History / Sorbonne University in Paris. He is an expert in biophysics, epigenetics and food science and teaches in many universities and professional schools (including Sorbonne University, Le Cordon Bleu, Basque Culinary Center,). He is also responsible for the scientific training of cooking teachers at the national level. He will showcase a dynamic demonstration to illustrate the concept of molecular gastronomy. Molecular Gastronomy is a scientific discipline dedicated to studying the mechanisms behind the preparation and consumption of food. It became mostly popular in the late 1990s when some chefs started to explore new possibilities in the kitchen by jointly using new ingredients, tools and the results of scientific research as a basis for inspiration, hence creating a new culinary trend called "molecular cooking". During this conference/workshop, the principles of culinary art and science will be exposed to show how such interdisciplinary interaction can help better understand culinary phenomena and ultimately influence cooking practices.
