Recent emphasis on the science of food and cooking has been observed in our popular literature and media. As a result of this, a new non-science majors course, The Science of Food and Cooking, is being taught at our institution. We cover basic scientific concepts, which would normally be discussed in a typical introductory chemistry course, in the context of food and food preparation. A week-by-week description of the course curriculum is provided. Student assessment and results from student evaluations are reported. (Contains 3 tables.)
