$(Part 1) The Science of Cooking: Whats Happening to Your Food | With Ben Ebbrell & David Weitz Whats actually happening to your food when you cook it? Harvard physicist David Weitz and Sorted Foods Ben Ebbrell reveal the science hidden inside everyday cooking — from why mayonnaise becomes a solid, to how meringue defies physics, to what a martini has in common with a bag of salt. Watch Part 2 here: https://youtu.be/XIf83okkgiU This talk was filmed at the Ri on the 18th April 2026. In this lecture — the UK premiere of Harvards celebrated Science and Cooking series — Ben cooks live on stage while David explains the physics and chemistry behind every step. Youll never look at an emulsion, a foam, or a loaf of focaccia the same way again. This is Part 1 — covering herb oil, emulsions, and the science of mayonnaise. Part 2 covers focaccia elasticity, baked Alaska, and cocktail physics.
