Recommended by Heidi on our Group. "It's a great book for homeschoolers. It goes into the chemistry of foods--why they taste the way they do, covers thermodynamics as related to cooking and a bit of physics. There are SCIENCE/cooking experiments at the end of most chapters, some recipes to test out the things learned."
