Looking for a Molecular Gastronomy course

My wife, cousin and I are looking for an in person molecular gastronomy course taught in English.  One of us used to cook professionally and the rest are avid amateurs who are very comfortable with science but are not particularly knowledgeable about food science.  We have some of the toys (immersion circulator, smoker, foamer, chemicals), but want to get better with them and ideally would like access to other items we don’t have (hence the desire for in person). We want a reasonably deep dive, so we are looking for more than a half day or one day course but do not have a full semester to devote to this (in other words, a course that is at least a few days and up to three weeks).  Location does not matter.  If this just isn’t available, would also be interested in quality online options.

 

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, except Prof is looking for an in-person course.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"A sense of humor is a measurement of the extent to which you realize that you are trapped in a world almost entirely devoid of reason. Laughter is how you release the anxiety you feel at this knowledge." -Dave Barry, humorist

 

Read to children. Vote. And never buy anything from a man who's selling fear. -Mary Doria Russell, science-fiction writer

 

When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set. -Lin Yutang, writer and translator

He also said that he was looking for quality online options and the ones suggested sound pretty good to me.
