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.

 Gut Innovation beats the WHISK out of Gut Renovation September 23, 2008

What great fun!! It's the baking soda volcano and the soda bottle tornado -- TIMES 100!!!! This book is rife with clever ideas that will leave you hankering for more time in the kitchen! Between sending my husband out for supplies and bringing my creations over to my neighbors, I don't think I've had this much fun in the kitchen since the renovation of 2002 - when I was literally sledge hammering my way through the bane-of-my-existence formica that had been drilling holes in my psyche for over a decade. THAT is the kind of fun this book restores to your kitchen-weary soul!
A fun book and a great gift October 1, 2008

I'm a very difficult person to buy presents for, and normally end up with things I don't really want. I was given this book and have really enjoyed reading it and the projects in it.
There's enough here to keep me entertained for many weekends, and I highly recommend it as a present for others!

Great fun for all who want to mix a little science into their cooking repetoire. Also an excellent way to introduce some hands on fun with science to the family. I Highly Recommend!

I bought this book as a christmas present for my dad. It might be a little awkward for him to get a book from his daughter containing a recipe for edible underwear (the first recipe in the book I might add). I had intended for him to do fun things with the grandkids in the kitchen. People be warned!!!
Foodies will love it! October 29, 2008

Coming from a science background, I really enjoyed this book. It has a nice set of fun "experiments" and DIY projects that kept me and dinner guests thoroughly entertained. This book is meant for people that truly like to play with their food.
