Exploring Cooking & Science
There’s chemistry involved every time we cook, and our ultimate goal is to Student-Proof our recipes so no one has to do any guesswork. All of our recipes include supplemental information about the science of what you’re trying to make, explained in a way anyone could understand.

It’s finally squash season and this delicious, hearty, flavourful brown rice bowl packs a punch with its heavy use of seasonal produce. Based off of my favourite lunch sandwich in Boston, this recipe is filling and satisfying with its sourdough croutons, warm brie, and spicy-maple-roasted delicata squash!
Pumpkin & Goat Cheese Risotto
As the air gets crisp, we thought there was no better time to lean into the first cozy meal of autumn. The pumpkin & goat cheese risotto is the epitome of a rainy day meal by being rich, creamy, and low effort. Although risottos can be intimidating, they’re actually a really easy way to feel fancier without very much effort. The spicy candied walnuts along with the acidic microgreen salad keep this meal from being too heavy and makes this a meal you can just keep eating until it’s gone.
