Food Science Molecular Gastronomy  4-H Camp

St. Johns County Extension Office - Auditorium

This is a brand-new science camp based on food and molecular gastronomy experiments. This is not your typical science or cooking class but a super fun combination of both. How often can you eat your experiments? In day 1 we will focus on the new science of edible food wrappers which includes making yummy, popping juice bubbles, and chewy boba using the science of cold oil spherification and then we will study the science that goes into making ice cream. In day 2 we will be focusing on the science of sugar and crystallization. We will make Dragon’s Beard candy (hand pulled cotton candy), and a candy to wrap in our food wrappers (we will vote on day 1). We will then cover the role of foams in food and science as we make meringue cookies. Due to safety and hygiene concerns all students must wear close toed shoes and have hair pulled back or under a hat. Due to safety, all students must be mature enough to follow instructions. If your child has any special needs or just needs a little extra help, please email me prior to class so that I will have an adequate number of volunteers. If the class is full, please sign up for our waiting list, if we have enough volunteers we may be able to expand the class size. Please send a lunch, and water. All cancellations must be at least 2wks prior to the first day of this camp. Any concerns, questions, please email 4Hadvancedscientists@gmail.com.
