SayPro 5-Day Food Science Camp: Ingredient Coordination Plan
To ensure a smooth and organized experience for participants, we’ll prepare a comprehensive list of ingredients for each day’s session. These lists will help participants gather the necessary items ahead of time. Additionally, we will consider creating ingredient kits that can be shipped to participants, particularly for those who may not have easy access to specific ingredients.
Below is the ingredient breakdown for each day’s session. Ingredients have been categorized into Core Ingredients (which are needed for the demonstration or cooking session) and Optional Ingredients (which can be added for flavor or variation). For each day, I’ve also included suggestions for how the kits can be packaged and shipped.
Day 1: Introduction to Food Science and Food Chemistry
Core Ingredients:
- Butter – 1 cup (unsalted)
- Brown Sugar – 3/4 cup
- Granulated Sugar – 1/2 cup
- Egg – 1 large
- All-purpose Flour – 1 1/2 cups
- Baking Soda – 1 tsp
- Chocolate Chips – 1 cup (semi-sweet)
- Vanilla Extract – 1 tsp
- Salt – 1/2 tsp
Optional Ingredients:
- White Sugar – for texture variation in cookies
- Nuts (optional) – Walnuts or Pecans (chopped)
Ingredient Kit:
- Packaging: Package dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips) in labeled pouches, and wet ingredients (butter, egg, vanilla extract) in separate containers with instructions for storage (e.g., refrigeration).
Day 2: Food Microbiology and Safety
Core Ingredients:
- Chicken Breasts – 2-3 pieces (cooked and raw)
- Lemon Juice – 2 tbsp (optional for safety experiment)
- Hand Sanitizer – 1 bottle (for practice during the demonstration)
- Plastic Wrap – 1 roll (for food storage)
Optional Ingredients:
- Raw Vegetables – (carrots, celery) for cross-contamination demonstration
- Plastic or Disposable Gloves – for safe food handling practice
Ingredient Kit:
- Packaging: For shipping, pack the raw chicken breasts in ice packs or insulated packaging to keep them at safe temperatures. Include separate containers for lemon juice, hand sanitizer, and plastic wrap, with an instructional sheet on safe food handling practices.
Day 3: The Role of Temperature in Cooking
Core Ingredients:
- Steaks – 1-inch thick (ribeye, sirloin, or any steak of choice)
- Salt – 1 tbsp
- Black Pepper – 1 tbsp
- High-Smoke Point Oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil) – 1/4 cup
Optional Ingredients:
- Garlic – 2-3 cloves (for flavor enhancement)
- Fresh Rosemary or Thyme – for optional flavoring during searing
Ingredient Kit:
- Packaging: Steaks and oil should be packed with ice packs for safe transport. Dry ingredients (salt, pepper) should be included in small labeled containers. Fresh garlic and herbs can be packaged in breathable bags to ensure freshness.
Day 4: Food Preservation Techniques
Core Ingredients:
- Cucumbers – 3-4 medium (for pickling)
- Vinegar – 1 cup (white or apple cider vinegar)
- Water – 1 cup
- Salt – 2 tbsp (for brining)
- Garlic – 3 cloves (optional for flavor)
- Dill Sprigs – 2-3 sprigs (optional)
- Peppercorns – 1 tsp (optional)
- Mustard Seeds – 1 tsp (optional)
Optional Ingredients:
- Sugar – 1 tbsp (for sweeter pickles)
- Chili Flakes – 1/2 tsp (for spicy pickles)
Ingredient Kit:
- Packaging: Cucumbers, garlic, herbs, and spices should be packaged in breathable containers to prevent moisture buildup. Dry ingredients (salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds) will be pre-measured in small plastic pouches. Vinegar and water will be in separate sealed bottles. Include a small mason jar or plastic container to assemble the pickle batch.
Day 5: Cooking Challenge & Presentation
Core Ingredients:
- Proteins (chicken, beef, or tofu) – 1 lb (choose based on dietary preferences)
- Vegetables (carrots, zucchini, onions, bell peppers, etc.) – 2-3 cups
- Olive Oil – 2 tbsp (for sautéing)
- Rice or Pasta – 1 cup (depending on the recipe choice)
- Herbs and Spices – Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder (for flavoring)
- Cheese (optional) – 1 cup (shredded cheese for topping or mixing)
Optional Ingredients:
- Lemon Juice – 1 tbsp (for brightening flavors)
- Fresh Herbs (basil, parsley, thyme) – for garnish
Ingredient Kit:
- Packaging: Proteins (chicken, beef, or tofu) will be packaged with ice packs. Vegetables will be pre-washed and packed in breathable produce bags. Grains (rice or pasta) will be pre-measured and packaged in small containers. Dry spices and seasonings will be included in small pre-labeled pouches. Optional ingredients like cheese, lemon, and fresh herbs will be included in separate containers.
General Guidelines for Ingredient Kit Shipping:
- Shipping Timeline: Kits should be shipped out at least 5 days before the start of the camp to ensure participants have time to gather additional items or ingredients if needed.
- Perishable Ingredients: For any ingredients that are perishable (e.g., meats, fresh vegetables, herbs), ensure they are packed with ice packs or in refrigerated packaging to keep them fresh.
- Non-Perishable Ingredients: Dry ingredients (e.g., flour, salt, pepper) can be packed in vacuum-sealed bags or small resealable containers to keep them safe during transit.
- Clear Instructions: Include a detailed list of ingredients in each kit, along with a recipe card that includes preparation instructions, any items participants should have ready (e.g., utensils, stovetops), and a brief scientific explanation of what they will be learning during the session.

Final Thoughts:
By preparing these ingredient kits, participants will have everything they need for each day’s session without having to source specific ingredients themselves. This approach ensures a seamless experience, allowing participants to focus on cooking and learning rather than worrying about ingredient availability. The kits will also enhance engagement, as participants can directly apply scientific concepts to real-life cooking experiences.
