Season’s greetings! ❄️

I simply couldn’t settle on a spelling! So we’ve decided to go with them all..

🌳🍁Day 1 – Chanuka:  As a winter holiday in the Middle East we will learn all about seasons and why some regions feel the seasonal changes more than others. Introducing foliage, photosynthesis, deciduous and coniferous trees (aka evergreens) and how both warmer and colder climates can both host ( albeit, different kinds) of evergreens!

🫒🌲Day 2 – Chrismukkah: In continuation with yesterday, why are there no pine trees to be found around town?? We can’t live in Israel and learn about oil without zoning in on olives! We will learn all about the (Ancient) olive tree, where it grows and why it’s a suitable tree for Israel’s climate — even as an evergreen. Then, we’ll make our very own (not ancient) olive treats to take home.

🕎🔋Day 3 – Chanuka: Let there be light! Chanuka is all about light so we’ll give a modern STEM  twist on fire by learning about electricity. Can you have your circuit and eat it too? You bet’ya! We’ll cook up a circuit that actually works!  But, just how many Chef-gineers does it take to light a lightbulb?

🪙🍩Day 4 – Hanukkah: Density/The states of matter. How oil candles congeal when they cool and burn when they melt. We will make our very own candle out of edible materials! We’ll make our own Chanuka gelt from melting solid colored chocolates  into liquid to shape and design our coins and then cool them back into solid gelt. On the topic of matter, we’ll take this opportunity to explore the water cycle and winter precipitation.

BUT…. Are all liquids created equal? Why don’t oil and water mix? When frying sufganiyot, why do we want the dough to float to the surface? We will make our very own colorful oil chanukia and explore the difference between water-based coloring to oil/powder based. Finally, A ChefLab Chanuka is not complete without baking our very own Sufganiyot!

Date: December 29th-January 1st
Time 9:00-15:00
