Cooking Science

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into the delicious world of Cooking Science! This hands-on camp blends the excitement of cooking with the wonders of chemistry and physics. Campers will explore how ingredients like eggs, chocolate, and gelatin transform under different conditions, all while creating (and tasting!) mouthwatering dishes. From making honey caviar to whipping up foams and gels, young chefs will discover that every recipe is a science experiment in disguise!

What to Expect:

Each day is packed with fun cooking experiments, taste tests, and scientific discoveries:

• The Science of Matter & Mouthfeel: Learn about solids, liquids, gases, and everything in between! Explore how different states of matter affect food texture and taste while making honey caviar and popping chocolate.
• Egg-citing Experiments: Discover why eggs are one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen. Create fluffy pavlovas, creamy mousse, and perfectly coddled eggs while learning about the science behind egg proteins.
• Molecular Gastronomy & Gels: Step into the world of modernist cuisine by experimenting with gels and shapes. Make balsamic vinegar pearls, arugula spaghetti, and liquid pea ravioli while learning how chefs use science to create unique textures.
• Foams & Spherification: Unlock the secrets of foams and bubbles with fun recipes like lemon and blueberry foams. Use soy lecithin and other molecular gastronomy techniques to create dishes that are as fascinating as they are tasty.
• Final Day Feast: Put your new skills to the test with a special cooking challenge! Apply everything you’ve learned to create your own science-inspired dish, then enjoy a delicious feast with your fellow campers.
