What an incredible semester in Culinary Chemistry! 🧪🍳✨
This Quarter, our students explored the science behind food through hands-on labs, experiments, and creative cooking challenges. From candy chemistry and sugar stages to sous vide cooking, mousses, custards, meringues, crystals, fermentation, and flavor development, students learned how chemistry transforms everyday ingredients into amazing foods.
For their final exam, students created a showcase of everything they’ve learned this semester — explaining different chemical reactions in cooking, providing food examples and photos, and even designing their own recipes that demonstrate the science behind the dish. 👩🍳📚🔬
It has been so fun watching students grow not only as cooks, but as scientists, problem-solvers, and creative thinkers. We are so proud of all the hard work, curiosity, and teamwork they’ve shown this semester!
Thank you to all of the families and supporters who helped make this class possible. ❤️
