My name is Brice Holland and I am a student at the Culinary Institute of America. I am currently enrolled in the Culinary Science program at the CIA and thought that I would create a blog to share my experiences and discoveries throughout my classes. I picked this picture of Albert Einstein because I thought it to be a perfect explanation of why my fellow classmates and I have chosen to do our degree at the CIA. At heart we are chefs, but we all love science and would love to be able to
explain why we do what we do in the kitchen.
Culinary Science is the in-depth study of our ingredients, consumers and the technology used in a kitchen or food lab from classical to the more modern methods. Also in culinary science we study the molecular make-up of our ingredients and how they function. We also study the psychological and physical concepts related to consumers on different product development scales. Just as important, is the study of the technology used in classical methods and through to the more modern methods used today. The study of these three things is what makes culinary science so interesting and why we are capable of explaining things "simply".
