On November 7 in Hamburg and November 8 in Frankfurt will be held a unique scientific and gastronomic show "Fried Facts. How to Eat Meat", in which renowned science columnist Ilya Kolmanovsky and chef, writer and teacher Ivan Shishkin explore one of the most pressing topics of our time - the place of meat in the human diet and its impact on health and ecology.
In an interactive form, Kolmanovsky and Shishkin will discuss what science really says about food, how myths about nutrition are formed and whether it is possible to consume reasonably without giving up the joy of life.
Right in front of the audience, they will prepare unexpected dishes, demonstrating how scientific approach and gastronomic creativity can change the usual view of food and its preparation.
In our case, the focus will be on meat and other animal products. Today, doctors' advice to reduce the consumption of animal food and switch to vegetable food is becoming more and more frequent. But what if we approach it in a different way - to perceive meat as a real delicacy, not an everyday product, but a rare pleasure, which is worth turning into a special adventure?
Kolmanovsky and Shishkin explore the physics, chemistry and biology of these foods - and, of course, how to prepare them, turning the science of food into a living art form.
Show topics
Whether meat is harmful - myth or scientific fact
What is a sensible diet and how to achieve it
How modern science helps you cook better and live longer
Why enjoying food is an important part of a healthy lifestyle
Each participant of the show will not only learn what modern science says about food, but will also get practical advice and recipes based on the philosophy of Epicurus - how to eat wisely and joyfully.
Ilya Kolmanovsky - science journalist, author of the podcast "Naked Digger", has been popularizing science for more than 20 years, telling about complex discoveries in simple words and making science part of everyday life.
Ivan Shishkin is a chef without a restaurant, applied science teacher, writer and cookbook author. For over 15 years he has been studying the nature of food, educating chefs and helping people become conscious about food.
Duration: approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes
