Ever wonder what Polysorbate 60 is? Did you know some food ingredients start out as rocks? Steve Ettlinger takes all of the mystification out of the ingredient list on the Twinkie package. When his daughter asked him what Polysorbate 60 was and he didn’t know he decided to find out. He explains all the processes to make ingredients for the Twinkie in very straight forward (and humorous) way we all can understand. I really thought I would never be able to eat again before beginning this book, but actually although names are very chemically sounding (mono and diglycerides) what they are really makes sense, after all what is cooking but science.

On their daily walk the Queen’s corgis wander into the Bookmobile parked at the back of Windsor Castle. The queen of course feels obligated to borrow a book. Having never really read before she asks a kitchen worker on board the vehicle to make a recommendation.  The Queen has no hobbies to speak of because as the head of a nation she can not be perceived as exclusive. But reading, to a book all people are equal, or are they?
