About this listen

Cooking may feel like an art, but behind every delicious meal is a world of science at work. From the way heat transforms raw ingredients to the chemical reactions that create aroma, texture, and flavor, every step in the kitchen follows scientific rules. In this episode, we explore the science of cooking—how heat, chemistry, and time shape the food we eat every day. You’ll discover why bread turns golden, why meat becomes tender, and how simple changes in temperature can completely transform taste. This is a journey into the hidden science that turns ordinary ingredients into extraordinary meals.
