The Hungry Scientist Handbook

The Hungry Scientist Handbook brings DIY technology into the kitchen and onto the plate. It compiles the most mouthwatering projects created by mechanical engineer Patrick Buckley and his band of intrepid techie friends, whose collaboration on contraptions started at a memorable 2005 Bay Area dinner party and resulted in the formation of the Hungry Scientist Society-a loose confederation of creative minds dedicated to the pursuit of projects possessing varying degrees of whimsy and utility.
