Episode description

Are you drinking too much? Will computers shape the future of flavour? The urban gardening revolution. And do you want VR with your dinner?

British writer Pete Brown wrote about everyone's number two concern, behind avoiding COVID-19 itself, which is, "Are we drinking too much?" The answer may surprise you.

We dig into an Indian organization's work determining pleasing flavour pairings based on molecules.

We talk about gardening as city activism and how Ron Finley has cultivated a movement starting from the "food forest" he planted at his home.

Finally, we high-end dining experiences are starting to include virtual reality... If only we could leave our homes to try this! We're left curious as ever.
