An event to celebrate the launch of Flavour – a new journal from BioMed Central

BioMed Central is collaborating with the London Gastronomy Seminars and the Centre for the Study of the Senses, University of London, to host an evening exploring how flavour shapes our world.

Flavour and the New Nordic Cuisine is a seminar to celebrate the launch of Flavour, a new interdisciplinary journal from BioMed Central covering the psychophysical, psychological and chemical aspects of eating food, as mediated through all the senses. Flavour publishes peer-reviewed research on all aspects of eating food including contributions from neuroscience, genetics, psychology and sensory science.  

Flavour encourages contributions not only from the academic community but also from the growing number of chefs and other food professionals who are introducing science into their kitchens, often in collaboration with academic research groups.

Speakers Per Møller, Ole Mouritsen and Lars Williams will discuss how we perceive taste and flavour, whilst describing new food and flavourings developed by Noma and the Nordic Food Lab for the New Nordic Cuisine. 

Flavour and the New Nordic Cuisine is at 6.30 pm on Wednesday 28th March 2012 at Senate House, University of London, U.K. For further information and to purchase tickets, visit the London Gastronomy Seminars website.
