Play with your food

How do you make food? How do you taste food? Where do you taste food? How many tastes are there? How do your surroundings alter the taste? How can something be hot and cold at the same time? How can lemons taste sweet? The closer you get the darker it becomes. All these will be explored.

On the lighter side you can make towers from spaghetti, ice cream using liquid nitrogen, funny shapes from vegetables, and watch some amazing demos using kitchen ingredients. So, something for everyone:

• Dancing custard
• Bug Shack with their edible insects
• Naomi Osborne and her bacterial culturesFlavour Sense-NationKitchen Konjuring with Richard Robinson
• Liquid Nitrogen presented by ‘The Hanson Family Science Show Players’ at 12:00 and 2:30. Thrills and spills abound as a mum, dad and daughter explore the weird world of a liquid colder than the coldest place on earth. Liquid nitrogen makes clouds, transforms materials and creates fantastic BANGs. The perfect mad scientist liquid presented by a fairly normal family who dare to combine explosive demos with audience participation.
