Cocktails

Sites
- Historical Context and Demos Illustrating the Relationship of Food and Science | Lecture 1
- Cooking Issues - Dave Arnold's blog.
Inspirations
- Stefan Gates does cool stuff. http://www.thegastronaut.com/ (and http://www.thegastronaut.com/index/Shop_2.html for "food kits") He's also vaguely local to the area and we might be able to convince him to come around and do some cool demos? Or help us source things at the very least...
- Heston Blumenthal
