NERDS are typically obsessed with their hobbies and interests. In that sense I am one too. I am obsessed with food. But not just eating it. I am obsessed with every aspect of it: history, science,  physics, chemistry, and engineering! And as an engineer and a scientist, I cannot help but bring my science and sense of wonderment to the table. It’s in my innate nature to investigate food from a scientific standpoint: how various ingredients mix, why proper temperature is necessary, the reactions that create the flavor and the textures. All these questions drive my curiosity and intuition. Join me on my quest for food history, food science and food mechanics!
