We’re surrounded by chemistry each and every day but some instances are more obvious than others. Most people recognize that their medicine is the product of chemistry; far fewer would say the same about their lunch. But they should. The flavor of their grilled chicken is the result of complex browning reactions, their salad dressing an emulsion of immiscible liquids, and the texture of their ice cream governed by thermodynamic principles. In this class, you’ll learn how to view food and cooking from the standpoint of a chemist and hopefully you come to see why chemistry is useful (and pretty cool!)
