Senior Theo Friedman continues to impress his peers with culinary ability
By Jennifer Straitz | February 18For anyone who has interacted with Friedman over his last four years at Tufts, it likely does not come as a surprise that his latest dinner included such an impressive number of courses. Since his first year in South Hall, he has been creating dining experiences for friends, classmates and now students in his Experimental College course, "The Chemistry of Cooking: Science in the Kitchen," co-taught with Schwartz. Though a brief hiatus from big dinner events was necessary Friedman's sophomore year due to a lack of suitable cooking space in Wilson House, he picked the tradition up again the following fall. Now a senior, Friedman's style has definitely evolved through the years. Particularly, he explained, this year's dinners have been generally "much more casual" than past events -- including two taco nights, each with nearly 100 guests packed into his Somerville home. With only eleven guests, 13 was a return to "the more refined, more fine dining style" that he loves.
