I received a copy when I attended the "Let's Talk about Food" event and MOS workshop on Community Conversations in Boston this summer. About a month later, we put on a "CHOMP!" food event here at Adventure Science Center in Nashville. We were able to incorporate some of the great ideas from Boston and added a few of our own. Here are a few of the activities we had that might fit in with your chemistry theme:
Are you a super taster? (PTC paper testing)
Gell-o science (molecular gastronomy using sodium alginate)
Local coffee company - green vs. roasted bean coffee tasting
Local chocolate company - chocolate tasting and info on cocoa beans
Cooking demos: fermenting foods (making sauerkraut), steaming broccoli, caramelizing sugar
