Our Cooking Lab classes teach the basic science and techniques all cooks need to know. You will learn to understand the causes and effects of your actions in the kitchen. We examine various cooking methods and ingredients to discover parallels that will amaze you. Your view of cooking may well be transformed.
These interactive demonstration classes focus on dialogue between the chef and student, creating an enriching experience loaded with information. The class will include some light hands-on participation from the students.
In this class we will explore the science behind the chemical changes that occur in food due to the presence of good bacteria and the delicious flavors that result. We’ll also discuss the health benefits of naturally fermented foods including the creation of beneficial enzymes and probiotics. Did you know that eating and drinking fermented foods can aid in digestion and weight loss, and even decrease brain fog?!
