Ready to sharpen your skills and uncover the science and magic of the egg?

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll:

• Bake a Lemon Meringue Pie while experimenting with egg whites, testing fresh vs. older eggs and learning how stabilizers like cream of tartar affect the whip.
• Compare Classic Cornbread recipes using duck eggs and chicken eggs to see firsthand how egg type changes texture.
• Master creamy Vanilla Pudding while practicing egg tempering and exploring how coagulation and binding create a perfect custard.

And of course, you’ll head home with all three delicious creations!

This interactive evening is led by Amy Barkley of Snowy Brook Farm, who brings years of experience in farming and baking.
