The Science and Cooking Lecture Series is returning to Harvard University this fall. This year's lineup includes stellar chefs like Ferran Adrià, Joan Roca, Daniel Humm and Christina Tosi.
The lectures are a collaboration between professors, world-class chefs and food professionals who meet to discuss topics relating to food and science. They were inspired by the Harvard College General Education course Science and Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to the Science of Soft Matter.
As in previous years, the lectures are free to attend and work on a first come first served basis, except Ferran Adria's lecture which is a ticketed event due to an high demand. The series will kick off Monday, September 8th and will be held every Monday until December 1st.
