Introduction

This is a program for children and youth to learn culinary and science. In each episode, keywords related to culinary skills, like simmering, and grilling are used as the theme. The program opens with a cuisine tryout to distinguish culinary skills, and uses amusing animation to tell a little story for each cuisine. At the final part of each episode, the science chef would show us how to cook through science experiments. Children in the show make hands-on practices to experience, and learn the knowledge and story behind each cuisine. Other than the host and scientists, a master chef robot joins together to answer everyone's questions. The cooking approaches include steaming, simmering, stir-frying, stewing, thickening, grilling, baking, poaching, fermenting, pan-frying, red braising, deep-frying, coddling, smoking, drying, marinating, tempering, boiling, freezing, sautéing, re-frying and braising. These ten episodes adopt scientific methods to distinguish different cooking approaches, including baking, fermenting, rinsing, deep-frying, pan-frying, mixing, sealing, stewing, and rolling. Six episodes among them explore a series of taste, such as sourness, sweetness, bitterness, saltiness, savory and spiciness.
