THE SCIENCE OF FLAVOR
People of all age groups, regions and countries are affected by malnutrition (in its all forms) and non-communicable diseases.
We believe that positive changes of healthier behaviors can be achieved through cooking education as a supporting social tool in terms of therapy and prevention.
1.
We aim to support the global initiative of the Food and Agriculture Organization to involve chefs as agents of change and translate the latest culinary and nutrition research into training programs. Our vision is to create a learning environment for culinary and food-related professionals and provide them real project collaborative opportunities.
3.
The rise of more involved cooking projects suggests that consumers are feeling more confident about their ability in their home kitchen. We are keen to inspire people who would love to learn how to cook and how can food be used as medicine. Moreover, cooking at home is expected to become a major trend coming out of the pandemic.
2.
Our goal is to develop an evidence-based Teaching Kitchen Model with a strong focus on culinary science in a non-clinical setting (hospitality, tourism, food supply chain) training future actors skills to incorporate the basic principles of neurogastronomy, art and personalized nutrition through industry-oriented and community outreach programs.
