This monday´s subject:

EXTRACTION

Extraction is probably one of the most used kitchen methods in the world of gastronomy. Although, we use it everyday in the preparation of meals, we do not think about it. From brewing coffee in the morning to making soup for dinner - we do not put a word on the action of extraction. On the other hand, some experts are well aware of using this method to extract specific flavour compounds in the production of food. But does the scientific knowledge of extraction make a difference in the final product? Does it boost or limit creativity? Is it even possible to unlock the key for the perfect extraction method? How can we improve extraction methods by connecting scientific knowledge and cooking?

All these questions and many more will be discussed at our first Monday Aperitivo, the 30th of October at 16.30.
