What’s cookin’?
Some of the best conversations happen around food, and we know some great learning comes from food and cooking, too. Pull up a seat, roll up your sleeves and join us as we cook up the science, history, culture and community of food.
Discover the chemical reactions that change flavor and textures, explore foods that reveal cultural histories, tell your own stories of family recipes and hone your tactile motor skills to make it all possible. The Cr(eat)e Culinary Studio features ovens, induction burners and multiple food stations stocked with all the equipment and tools to turn recipes into experiments and microwave misfits into culinary scientists.
