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.

2 out of 5 stars not very scientific   January 6, 2009
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.


2 out of 5 stars Not as interesting as the cover might have you think   January 6, 2009

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.


1 out of 5 stars Lousy   December 18, 2008

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.


3 out of 5 stars Good DIY, but not so much with the kitchen...   December 16, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

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 really appropriate for a junior high science class, either, with an emphasis on alcohol and "edible undies" for the opening chapter, this seems to be a book without a really strong sense of audience. If at all possible, open a copy and thumb through it before buying, I'm not really sure who this book is directed at.



3 out of 5 stars Great book, but not enough food   December 12, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.
