In the Kitchen Theater, you'll learn about the science of food and cooking in a fun 1950s atmosphere. Live demonstrations—part cooking class, part science lab—take you through the biology, chemistry, and physics that combine to make your favorite foods. From emulsified sauces to fiery fruit, the Kitchen Theater delivers edible science in 30 minutes or less!
Programs made possible with support from the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh and the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh.
