Product Description:

Inventive, (mostly) edible DIY gadgets and projects guaranteed to captivate

The Hungry Scientist Handbook brings DIY technology into the kitchen and onto the plate. 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.

- Hungry Scientist Handbook
Interesting, amusing, if a trifle surreal! This book contains
some useful practical tips

Rating:

- not very scientific
I expected more science like in "What Einstein Told His Cook", but this was mainly frivolous party tricks for TECHIES. Little chemistry or food science. Too many desserts with lights.

Rating:

- Not as interesting as the cover might have you think
Not as interesting as the cover might have you think. I thought you'd be making reactions out of the ingredients in the food (like when you make a volcano out of vinegar and baking soda). But it's not nearly as interesting as that.

Rating:

- Lousy
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.
