From chapters.ca:Published more than 20 years ago, Cobb's classic has been revised and updated to reflect advances in scientific knowledge and the invention of the microwave. There are lots of new experiments as well as all the old favourites. Black-and-white illustrations throughout. Ever wonder what makes popcorn pop? Why cakes rise? How jelly gels? Your kitchen will be transformed into a laboratory worthy of a mad scientist as you make startling discoveries about how cabbage can detect acid, how bacteria makes yogurt, and how decomposed sugar turns to caramel. Then after a long day at the lab you can relax and eat your results: soup, biscuits, pretzels, cupcakes, or cookies.
Vicki Cobb’s seminal book has been revised and updated to encompass advances in modern technology but still provides what all kids want: a legitimate excuse to play with their food!
