About Course

This course looks at the science behind everyday cooking and how to turn it into good, repeatable recipes. You will learn why dough rises, how sauces thicken and what changes when you swap ingredients. Dr Fatima Davids guides you through practical kitchen sessions on campus, where you test, taste and record each result. By the end, you will have a small recipe collection you developed and tested yourself.
