My Favorite Kind of Science

Science of Cooking has recipes, experiments, videos and more. It looks like a great site to share with my kids.

They almost lost my interest when I saw "Making a winter soup? Find out how to make a healthier creamy soup without the cream." Whadda ya mean "without the cream"? Isn't that part of the reason you eat a creamy soup?

Fortunately there were plenty of other sections on candy, bread, meat, and other goodies. The section on meat talks about fast-twitch muscle fibers/white meat and slow-twitch muscle fibers/dark meat. There's a comparison with a few different animals and will give you something to consider if you have an interest in cannibalism.

I'm sure the cannibalism part wasn't what they intended me to be thinking of. Not that I would do something like that. I'd have to make my own gravy instead of using the package kind.
