Frederiksberg Campus participates this year in Culture Night with an evening in the name of science. Here FOOD is part of the event at Festauditoriet, Bulowsvej 17, with lectures from Nordic Food Lab and Gastronomic Playground.
Nordic Food Lab holds the lecture "The art of water kefir fermentation: Where flavors are created and bottles explode. How the symbiosis of yeast and bacteria can produce unexpected tasting notes". The lecture is about the fermentation of kefir and how the flavour depends on time, temperature, ingredients and sugar content.
Gastronomic Playground holds the lecture "Autumn Festival! The season where warm and cold meet, the grain are harvested and the colors are golden. Gastronomic Playground taste the fall!". During the event, Gastronomic Playground will hand out exiting tastings made by seasonal food.
