"Cook the Science" is a public event series at ETH Zurich that’s all about the science of cooking.

Join ETH Professors and renowned chefs in this engaging "ETH Cooking Show" to uncover the fascinating science behind everyday cooking. What happens - from a scientist’s perspective! - when we whip cream or knead bread? What is the science behind perfect pasta al dente or great pizza?

This free public lecture series started in summer 2024 and encompasses three events per semester. The lecture focuses on everyday topics like coffee, bread or ice cream and demonstrates how cooking and baking is always scientific and how physics and chemistry knowledge is useful and applicable in the kitchen every day.
