Food Science Studies at MK

Food Science Studies at MK

17 January 1997 was a day of celebration at Kópavogur College. On that day, a vocational studies wing that housed food science studies was formally inaugurated.

The guest on the podcast is Baldur Sæmundsson, who hardly needs an introduction. He holds a master's certificate in culinary arts and service and has vast experience in both fields. Baldur has been a teacher at MK for many years.

Baldur frequently discusses the opportunities that young people get during their studies, both in terms of competitions and making a name for themselves and building a career as professionals in their field. Here, he joins us for an educational and enjoyable chat about the studies at MK and the changes that have occurred over the years.

This is the fourth episode in a series of podcasts that are the final project of Dóra Svavarsdóttir and Þyrnir Hálfdánarson, master chefs and students at the University of Iceland's School of Education. The episodes are about culinary studies—then, now, and in the future.
