TIME Living Research Why One Company Invested $30 Million to Grow a Vegan Egg Getty Images Their goal is to create something finer than an actual egg

A group of Silicon Valley investors, scientists and chefs are close to debuting a plant-based egg. Omelet-maker extraordinaire Emily Kaiser Thelin investigates.

When I first met my husband, Josh, at a July 4th potluck barbecue in 2009, I had a strict rule against dating vegetarianstoo much time spent defending my carnivorous ways. So I was crestfallen when the dashing stranger with whom I had been getting on so well suddenly plopped a veggie dog on the grill. I sighed and pulled out my bone-in rib eye. But as that steak cooked, with smoke swirling and fat spattering, Josh never flinched. When I carved into the medium-rare meat, he even asked how it tasted.

He explained that hed never renounced meathed just never eaten it. Ever. Since before he was born, his parents have eschewed meat and eggs. His father, Jay Thelin, cofounded the Psychedelic Shop on Haight Street in San Francisco in 1966. Jay was a rigorous idealist (he hoped LSD could expand the collective consciousness and end the war in Vietnam). Later, he discovered a spiritual path that convinced him that meat and eggs (and drugs and alcohol) hindered access to the divine. Out of a mix of habit, loyalty and pride, Josh has remained a vegetarian his entire life. Hes always been curious about omelets and steaksjust not enough to try them.

When we started dating, it felt good to eat more vegetarian meals. If I was missing meat, I ordered a roast chicken or braised pork shoulder when Josh and I ate out. Eggs became our only point of contention. On weekend mornings and at the end of a long day, I crave an omelet. Josh valiantly tries to win me over with his scrambled tofu, but, well, come on. Maybe Ive succumbed to Francophile propaganda, but omelets, souffls and other classics of egg cookery have always represented the ne plus ultra of independent adult living to me. And I make good omelets. When we got married, we joked that our lives would be perfect if only someone would build us a plant-based egg.

Last year, we learned that our absurdist fantasy was coming true. Big investors in Silicon Valley put $30 million into a start-up called Hampton Creek, where R&D scientists are building a vast database of legumes and grains (including often-overlooked ones like the Canadian yellow pea and sorghum) to determine which plant proteins can mimicindeed, outperformthe properties of eggs.

The fact that the companys founder, Josh Tetrick, is vegan has nothing to do with it. A former lawyer whod worked in international development, Tetrick started Hampton Creek in 2011 to make sustainable food choices easy. I fully support free-range eggs, he says. But my dad wont buy them because they cost more. Were looking for better and cheaper alternatives. Industrially produced eggs seemed an obvious first target, he said, because of their many inefficiencies: food-safety scares, animal cruelty, high production costs.

But how do you top an egg? As Auguste Escoffier wrote in Le Guide Culinaire Of all the products put to use by the art of cookery, not one is so fruitful of variety, so universally liked, and so complete in itself as the egg. Eggs poach, scramble and fry. They emulsify dressings, structure cakes, even clarify wine. There are vegan substitutes that can replicate certain facets, but can plant proteins mimic them all?

Just Scramble, Hampton Creeks whole-egg alternative, is the companys most ambitious project. As food scientist Harold McGee explains in On Food and Cooking, when raw, a real eggs proteins float like tiny coiled ropes in watery suspension. When cooked (or whipped), the coils unwind and collide with one another to form a three-dimensional web. This web traps the air in a souffl, thickens the milk in a custard, or suspends the eggs own water in the curds of scrambled eggs. For a proper scramble, a plant-egg needs to create identically elastic and moist curds at the same pace.

Hampton Creek has hired three former chefs from Chicagos avant-garde restaurant Moto who collaborate with its scientists on prototype after prototype. Their goal is to create something finer than an actual egg, with better flavor, more protein and less environmental impact. Recently, they found an iteration close to the real thing; it consists of a half-dozen ingredients, but contains no gums or hydrocolloids and nothing genetically modified. I wrangled an invitation to the facility so I could cook my husband his first omelet.

Why One Company Invested $30 Million to Grow a Vegan Egg

For the past decade, vegan chef and shakuhachi master Philip Gelb has combined his passion for music and food with a movable monthly series that pairs a four-course meal with a recital featuring singular musicians such as alto sax great Oliver Lake and Irish harp expert Diana Rowan. Looking to expand into new territory, hes joining forces with Tomate Cafs Jack Wakileh, introducing a new pop-up series in West Berkeley (sans music for the time being).

Gelb kicks off the first of three scheduled events on Saturday Jan. 10 with a celebration of the culinary traditions of Southern African-Americans and the Caribbean inspired by Oakland cookbook writer/culinary historian Bryant Terry. Terry, who will be on hand speaking between courses, recently published Afro-Vegan: Farm-Fresh African, Caribbean, and Southern Flavors Remixed.

Bryants a guy I have great respect for, said Gelb, who is one of the first musicians to perform new music on shakuhachi, the ancient, end-blown Japanese bamboo flute. I first came across him on KPFA years ago being interviewed about food politics in the African-American community. Weve met up over the years, traded food and ideas and talked about collaborating.

The tentative menu includes Jamaican patty stuffed with spicy cabbage and tamarind sauce, dandelion salad with pecan dressing, pecan-crusted tempeh, and cumin-cayenne mashed potatoes with caramelized onions. Gelb is tapping his friend Daniel Schoenfeld at Wild Hog Vineyard for the beer and wine menu.

Im using some of the recipes from Bryants cookbooks, said Gelb, noting that Terry draws connections between African-diaspora cuisine and African-diaspora music. Its a huge culinary tradition and were throwing a few ideas out. The whole idea is based on his research, and hell be discussing dishes and food in general. Hes a great speaker, a really friendly guy whos thought a lot about connections between food and music. In his book Vegan Soul Kitchen he suggests what to listen to with every dish.

Gelb returns to Tomate Caf on Feb. 7 with Miyoko Schinner, a Japanese-born, French-trained chef who recently launched Miyokos Kitchen in Fairfax. And on Valentines Day he presents a lusty vegan menu with Los Angeles chef Aylande Howell.

Gelb returns to his West Oakland digs on Feb. 15 for a dinner/concert event featuring legendary French bassist Jolle Landre, whos in town to participate in Yerba Buena Center for the Arts New Frequencies Fest.
