Gastrophysics

A fascinating evening of food, drinks, experiments and talking.

Sat, 30 April 2022
19:00 – 23:00 BST

A mixture of discussion, demonstrations and the odd “experiment”, this interactive evening will give those of you who missed his earlier show a chance to explore the world of taste and our senses with one of the world experts in the field. Based at the Cross Modal Research laboratory in Oxford, Charles has worked frequently with chefs around the world including Heston Blumenthal, Ferran Adria and Kitchen Theory’s Jozef Youssef. Charles will be be speaking about Gastrophysics and explaining some of the myriad factors that affect the way we experience the food we eat.

The evening will begin at 7pm with drinks and a chance to chat with Charles. We will then serve a 3 course dinner interspersed with talks and experiments to make you change the way you experience tastes and flavours. Dinner itself will be the usual delicious Worton fare but will be edited to illustrate some of the ideas being discussed. The evening will finish around 11pm.
