Catalan gastronomy gets a Harvard Education



Starting in September, students at the world's most prestigious university will be able to study the fascinating and complex world of Catalan cuisine. Harvard University and the Fundació Alícia have worked together to bring the "Science and Cooking" project to fruition. The course, led by 6 of Catalonia's most most innovative and respected chefs will lead the course on science and cooking. Catalan cooking, led by Ferran Adria, has been at the head of the scientific revolution in the kitchen, and now Adria, along with 6 Catalan chefs(including Carme Ruscalleda, Joan Roca and Carles Rovira) will work side by side with American chefs utilizing the scientific facilities of Harvard.

While the course is open to students of Harvard, the chefs and their creations can be found in Catalonia, and The Spanish Touch can help you organize a visit to these wonderful, innovative restaurants and see firsthand the fruits of these chefs forays into the world of science and cooking.
