Eggs and Chef’s Hat… What’s the Connection?

Posted on Friday, September 2nd, 2022

Have you ever heard the old adage that says the number of pleats in a white chef’s hat represents how many ways the chef could prepare eggs? According to legend, the ultimate standard to achieve was 100 folds, which indicated that the wearer knew 100 ways to prepare eggs and with that, had superb culinary skill, knowledge and reputation.

Whether true or not, it is a fact that eggs are one of the most versatile ingredients in any kitchen. Algonquin’s culinary labs are no exception. On any given day, you will find culinary and baking students learning the proper techniques to incorporate farm fresh Ontario eggs into soufflés or custards, a meringue or a delicious sauce – important foundational skills they will carry with them throughout their careers.
