Description:

Put on your lab coat because it’s time to blend Culinary Arts and STEM together! In this program, we will explore the science that happens in your kitchen every week. We will learn about tools used by cooks and chemists, acquire food preparation techniques, discover the origins of flavors you’ve come to love and so much more. Some of the exciting topics include: What is the Maillard Reaction? What causes popcorn to explode? What are ratios and how do they relate to baking? How does emulsification and suspension help us make salad dressing? New Topics are covered each week throughout the school year.

Note: In some lessons, students will be exposed to, prepare, consume, or take home a variety of food items. We will inform you in advance of food items we will utilize each week. However, we are rarely able to make substitutions due to the chemistry-focused nature of the lessons. If your student or household has an allergy or dietary restriction, please let us know in advance.
