Join us for a fun virtual night from your own kitchen. We will be joined by alum from the UC Davis Food Science and Technology Program to learn about the chemistry behind the cooking as we watch a live cooking demo and attempt to make our own meals from home. We will also share cooking tips throughout the night.
