Top Chef – The Evolution of Food

Journey with us through the fascinating food history in this unique, hands-on, thought-provoking experience! Young chefs will explore how humans have transformed from hunter-gatherers to master chefs while developing their own culinary skills and creativity. Create your own sourdough starter, bake with seeds, learn ancient and modern cooking techniques, explore global spices and flavors through sensory adventures, and discover the amazing journeys of everyday foods like apples and potatoes. End the week with a meal you cook and serve your parents at the studio!
