Cooking is chemistry, and the fun science experiments – such as tricking your taste buds, making slime taste delicious and investigating some of the strangest flavours around will prove it. Tackle all the tasty science questions you have about food, plus plenty more that you hadn’t thought of!

This science book for children offers:

• An interactive learning experience combining facts about the science of food with fun experiments.
