Science like you"ve never tasted it before. Go to the recipe section and make yourself a "dancing molecules" cocktail, or a science-inspired sabayon -- then read about what it"s like to secretly experiment on a group of food scientists during a surprise meal eaten in Belgium in complete darkness; how food memories are tested at a Dutch research center called the Restaurant of the Future; and what it"s like to taste Flemish apples only with your eyes. Food and science have been linked even before (and since!) that iconic scientific tool, the pH scale, was developed in 1909 at a famous European brewery. Food and family, stories and memories -- A Taste of Molecules is a journey of the senses that will delight foodies and science enthusiasts alike. Author talks and tastings in Boston, NYC, Brussels and beyond, tasteofmolecules.com
