Science Chef Travels Around the World
In this sequel to The Science Chef, the secrets of food are again explored, but this time, young science chefs travel around the globe, and experiment with foods commonly used in different countries. For example, in Italy, we read about popular foods from that country, and then experiment with tomatoes by making a drying tray and drying them for use on "Focaccia with Sun-Dried Tomatoes." And when we head over to Germany, we learn how to make an acid-base indicator from cabbage juice, and then use the rest of the cabbage to make "Sweet-and-Sour Cabbage." Or we go to China, and learn how orange soda fizzes - and whip up some "Awesome Egg Rolls." All in all, countries "visited" include Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Israel, India, China, Japan, Thailand, Morocco and Ghana, with each county featuring information about its food, a related food experiment, and several recipes. With a great mix of experiments and tasty recipes, this is a natural follow-up for lovers of the Science Chef, especially if they love to try new things! Cooking skills, kitchen safety, nutrition, and food safety are also covered. - Jess
