A feast for the senses — Taste beyond the tongue

Guest presenter Matt Preston and three-Michelin-starred chef Kyle Connaughton of SingleThread consider how weather conditions, flowers in the room, colours on the plate, and even the plate itself can enhance the dining experience. Some of these phenomena are well documented by science, as Barry C. Smith, founding director of the Centre for the Study of the Senses at the University of London, explains.

Guests: 

• Kyle Connaughton, chef and co-owner of SingleThread, awarded three Michelin stars and named joint number-one restaurant in the world by La Liste
• Barry C. Smith, founding director of the Centre for the Study of the Senses at the University of London

Kyle and his partner, SingleThread's head farmer Katina Connaughton, are in residence at Sydney's Bathers' Pavilion until 23 August.
