Food and fire: The science (and magic) of cooking

The Learning Seed, 330 Telser Rd., Lake Zurich, IL 60047, 800-634-4941, www.learningseed.com

Learn to "read a french fry," find out why you can't eat an ice cream cone in a convertible, discover if you can cook a burger over a candelabra, and see the secret formula to boil the perfect egg. Cooking is part craft, and part science with just a pinch of magic added for flavor. Food and Fire teaches the basics of heat and temperature (no, they're NOT the same), convection, conduction, and radiation. Learn the science behind baking, roasting, frying and boiling.
