Youth Maker Mondays: Eggs (Ages 12-18)

Learn how to safely handle and cook eggs several different ways.

About this Class

For egg lovers, and the egg curious, this course will provide opportunities to find confidence and satisfy curiosity when it comes to the fundamentals of chicken eggs. Through hands-on practice, learn the sensitive art of egg handling techniques, such as pan frying, scrambling, poaching, and emulsification. Using traditional recipes, and ingredients from international traditions, students will create their own mayonnaise-based sandwich spreads from scratch.

Then we'll have an egg sandwich party to close out the course! Each class will include focused time to look at, taste, and feel the results of the day’s work to develop our language and capacity for gastronomic articulation.

Instructor

Chef Erik Peterson still loves making and eating the egg sandwiches he and his cousin created together at the age of 10. A touch of run in the yolk, horseradish and mayo spread, a thick slice of tomato, and a thin slice of cheddar on toasted sourdough or English muffins = delicious! Since then, Erik has had careers in the visual and culinary arts, which has taken him to studios, kitchens, museums, and restaurants across the country and globe. Today, he is happily operating his personal chef business Island Larder (www.islandlarder.net) on Bainbridge Island.
