Cooking for Microbiome
Science meets Art-of-Cooking or how to eat for health
The human body is an ecosystem: trillions of microorganisms inhabit our gut, skin and all other exposed parts. Our microbial roommates, the microbiome, make crucial and nowadays finally slowly understood contributions to keeping us healthy. They help to digest food, produce vitamins, and train the immune system. In addition, their very presence helps stem the spread of pathogens. But only as long as we keep them happy. Antibiotic treatments and diet have a huge impact on this microcosm.
How does this work? Who inhabits us and why? Can we cook for a healthy microbiome? And how can we use microorganisms to cook?
Join us for an evening of Science meets Art-of-Cooking at Pastamadre, where MDC-scientists join forces with fermentation artisans to bring you the latest from microbiome research, food chemistry and healthy eating. We talk, you cook, we eat and discuss together.
