From the publisher, as I do not repeat the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it as they do it better than I do 😸.			
			
Kitchen Science Lab for Kids: EDIBLE EDITION gives you 52 delicious ways to explore food science in your own kitchen by making everything from healthy homemade snacks to scrumptious main dishes and mind-boggling desserts.

When you step into your kitchen to cook or bake, you put science to work. Physics and chemistry come into play each time you simmer, steam, bake, freeze, boil, puree, saute, or ferment food. Knowing something about physics, biology, and chemistry of food will give you the basic tools to be the best chef you can be.

Bodacious Bubble Tea, Flavorful Fruit Leather, Super Spring Rolls, Mouthwatering Meatballs…divided by course, each lab presents a step-by-step recipe for a delicious drink, snack, sauce, main dish, dessert, or decoration. The Science Behind the Food section included with each recipe will help you understand the science concepts and nutrition behind the ingredients. 

Have fun learning about: 
Bacteria and the chemical process of fermentation by making your own pickled vegetables.
An emulsion as you create your own vinaigrette.
How trapped water vapour causes a popover to inflate as you make your own.
Crystals by making your own ice cream.

Mix and match the recipes to pair pasta with your favourite sauce, make ice cream to serve in homemade chocolate bowls, or whip up the perfect frosting for your cake. There are plenty of fun, edible decorations included for the art lovers in the crowd. Before long, you’ll have the confidence to throw together a feast, bake and decorate show-worthy cakes, or use what you’ve learned to create your own recipes.

For those with food allergies, all recipes are nut-free and other allergens are clearly labelled throughout.

Let’s get cooking—and learning!

What a fun book!!!!  I love this series of books, as do our patrons and this was a fun book to read and plan to do in the future. It is always fun to learn something whilst having fun and this book's excellent projects and clear instructions mean that fun can be had by adults and children at the same time.  Bored kids? Rainy day? Take out this book and find something fun to do with the contents of your pantry/larder - no sunscreen required@ 
I can see having a fun time with my nephew with this book - and as there are 52 projects and 52 weeks in year this will fill a year of "Saturday Live with Auntie J"

I think this book will appeal to a wide variety of kids. It has great recipes, with the level of difficulty clearly stated, so beginners will be able to try their hand, but those up for a challenge will also have options. Kids that are into cooking will love the variety of recipes and understanding why they word. Kids that are into science will be able to the practical side of it all. Overall a great cookbook with fun link to science!

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Great book! Teaches kids science while they make (or help make) very kid-friendly recipes. Starts with an overview of how the "Labs" (recipes) are written and a section on food safety, explained in easy to understand terms for kids. Includes items from drinks to snacks to meals and desserts. There are recipes for making your own root beer and cheese! There are some recipes in here that kids may not have tried before, but framing it as a science experiment would likely help them be more willing to taste. All recipes have an equipment list along with the ingredients, a difficulty rating, and a series of color photos showing the steps. They also explain "the science behind the food" to cover what is happening with the dish and why. This book is perfect for school age kids to work with parents or on their own as they get older, to learn both how to cook and the science behind it.

La cucina: una laboratorio chimico-fisico che tutti hanno a disposizione, ma a cui a volte non si pensa.

Eppure, ogni volta che si preparano dei biscotti, o si fa un piatto di pasta, o si mette a lievitare il pane entrano in scena processi segreti, che questo libro di deliziose ricette porta allo scoperto.

Cinquantadue ricette, cinquantadue piatti, cinquantadue schede che spiegano come chimica, fisica e biologia si siano messe al servizio del piccolo cuoco, permettendogli di realizzare manicaretti di ogni genere.

Un volume interessante, utile e divertente, da esplorare una ricetta alla volta. :)
