This week on The Sporkful podcast we're celebrating the release of my new book, Eat More Better: How To Make Every Bite More Delicious, with an all-star lineup of guests!
Mathematician Alex Bellos thinks he's discovered a way to slice cake that improves structural integrity and lifespan. Watch his video and tell us whether you agree!
We all know that folding pizza makes it easier to get the slice into your mouth. But why exactly? An age old mathematical theorem explains the phenomenon.
In the nerdiest Sporkful ever, I learn what listening to chocolate can tell you about it, how our brains play tricks on our tongues, and why charging more for wine can make it taste better.
