About this title

Synopsis

The Science Museum's famous Punk Science team brings us the science of cooking, and jolly tasty it is, too! Cooking is science, and this book is packed with exciting recipes for scientists of all ages! Make cupcakes and find out why beating the eggs and using baking powder makes them rise. Cook a Bolognese sauce and discover why onions make you cry and what happens to the molecules in the meat when you cook it. Reveal the insulating power of meringue when you make a baked Alaska—the oven's hot but the ice cream stays frozen. You'll also find out about the amazing scientific powers of ingredients such as gelatine, yeast, and eggs. Plus, there are several food-related science experiments inside. And if that isn't enough, this book will show you some really healthy ways of preparing the food too! Yum!  Includes metric measures.

About the Author

Punk Science is the Science Museum's very own comedy team. Using experiments, live demonstrations, and music, they put the fun into the fundamental theories of science. Punk Science is an eclectic mix of comedian and journalist Jon Milton, who might well be the only person from Romford to have ever been interested in the general theory of relativity; all-drumming, all-American, and all-round-entertainer Brad Gross; and, last but by no means least, actor, guitarist, and international jet-setter Dan Carter-Hope.
