DESCRIPTION:
However, this is not a book for children: some projects use sharp tools or dry ice, never mind the instructions and photos for a caramel bikini! Likewise, recipes for beer, wine, and superchilled martinis make this book inappropriate for school libraries. Directions are clear and well illustrated. Additionally, there are projects made with food-related items, such as a measuring spoon stethoscope and a Tupperware iPod boom box. All rights reserved. There is a lollipop formed around an LED light, bread baked with wild yeast, and
J. Williamson said Good DIY, but not so much with the kitchen. Not a bad book, and a good DIY/"Fun with Science" textbook. I feel that the book overhypes the "Fun in the kitchen!" idea. The majority of projects in the book are more Junior High science, less "exciting projects for foodies." There's 19 chapters, and only five or so would appeal to food-lovers. Most of these are basic electronic projects that are only loosely kitchen-focused (the least interesting was "make a trivet out of intergrated circuits!") Some of the projects are only tangentally food-related at all (a megaphone in a soda bottle, a pinhole camera in a pumpkin).And it's not reall. "Great book, but not enough food" according to Kimi B.. I was really hoping to love this book, but I found most of the projects to be unattainable. There weren't many projects (I'm more used to cookbooks with come packed with recipes and activities). I'd seen all the best projects elsewhere. And, to be honest, I thought there would be more interesting stuff to do with food.I did like the writing and I will keep it on my shelf for that mythical day when I can actually do more of the projects.. "Lousy" according to JMForester. I thought this book was absolutely horrible. It was written on a elementary school level, but much of the material was inappropriate for children. The information was spotty, and much of it was just silly. All in all, a waste of my money, and an even bigger waste of the few minutes of my life ill spent on reading through this so-called book.

When not tinkering or inventing, he can be found kiteboarding, paragliding, or training for Ironman triathlons. Lily Binns is a writer and a producer for the dance company Pilobolus.

It compiles the most mouthwatering projects created by mechanical engineer Patrick Buckley and his band of intrepid techie friends, whose collaboration on contraptions started at a memorable 2005 Bay Area dinner party and resulted in the formation of the Hungry Scientist Society—a loose confederation of creative minds dedicated to the pursuit of projects possessing varying degrees of whimsy and utility.Featuring twenty projects ranging from edible origami to glowing lollipops, cryogenic martinis to Tupperware boom boxes, the book draws from the expertise of programmers, professors, and garden-variety geeks and offers something to delight DIYers of all skill levels..
