Want to do some home chemistry? Have a kitchen? You are all set.
Yes, it is the season of over-eating, at which time of year Cheryl’s mind turns to cookery, and therefore to cookbooks. This morning I saw a recommendation for Culinary Reactions: The Everyday Chemistry of Cooking by Simon Field. You probably don’t get to blow anything up, at least not in Mythbusters fashion, but it sounds like a lot of fun. Oddly the Kindle edition appears to be only available in the UK. I’ll let you know if I make anything exciting.
For what it’s worth, since I’ve not read the book, Simon was a co-worker of mine at Google and was pretty much universally respected there. Very sharp guy.
