We started with a day-long workshop with NYC high school students from Hunter Math &#038; Science. They brought their favorite food and home products (such as Strawberry Pop-tarts, Diet Coke, Johnson&#8217;s Baby Lotion and Axe Shampoo) for us to reverse engineer together. We got to work mapping out the ingredients &#8212; learning where they come from and what they do. Then the students re-labeled their products based on research. Pesticides in your Pop-tarts anyone? 10% petroleum filling and 90% question mark!? Where&#8217;s the berry? Fun stuff!! Oh, and we made some gatorade and toothpaste from scratch too. They both got &#8220;thumbs up&#8221; from our super tasters (the students).<\/p>\n<p>In Dec 2010 we also opened the kitchen to the public for Eyebeam&#8217;s Holiday Mixer, making breath mints (image above) from xylitol and pomegranate juice. Also on the burner were DIY gummi bears and more gatorade and toothpaste. <\/p>\n<p>Next up: we are going to polish up those re-labels to share with you and start experimenting with new recipes (some baby lotion and diet coke perhaps&#8230;). We are also lining up some guests to join us in TCK so we can do more and do it better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stefani Bardin and I launched The Counter Kitchen at Eyebeam in Dec 2010.
