High Altitude Baking

Event date: This event has already passed.

Remember those warm, chocolate chip cookies your mom would bake? It’s time to recreate those memories in the mountains! Join us at the Gypsum Public Library and learn all the tricks of baking at high altitude from an expert from Colorado State University’s Extension Office.

Newcomers to Colorado or those traveling to the mountains are often surprised when favorite recipes made perfectly at sea level fail to produce expected results when made at higher elevation. Whether boiling eggs, preparing a roast or baking cookies, small adjustments can often improve the results. More complex foods may require additional modifications. Researchers with Colorado State University’s Extension and Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition have a long tradition of baking research and development of altitude-tested recipes.
