Description
Gastrophysics: The New Science of EatingThe science behind a good meal: all the sounds, sights, and tastes that make us like what we're eating and want to eat more. Why do we consume 35 percent more food when eating with one other person, and 75 percent more when dining with three? How do we explain the fact that people who like strong coffee drink more of it under bright lighting? And why does green ketchup just not work? The answer is gastrophysics, the new area of sensory science
The science behind a good meal: all the sounds, sights, and tastes that make us like what we're eating--and want to eat more. Why do we consume 35 percent more food when eating with one other person, and 75 percent more when dining with three? How do we explain the fact that people who like strong coffee drink more of it under bright lighting? And why does green ketchup just not work? The answer is gastrophysics, the new area of sensory science pioneered by Oxford professor Charles Spence. Now he's stepping out of his lab to lift the lid on the entire eating experience--how the taste, the aroma, and our overall enjoyment of food are influenced by all of our senses, as well as by our mood and expectations. The pleasures of food lie mostly in the mind, not in the mouth. Get that straight and you can start to understand what really makes food enjoyable, stimulating, and, most important, memorable. Spence reveals in amusing detail the importance of all the "off the plate" elements of a meal: the weight of cutlery, the color of the plate, the background music, and much more. Whether we're dining alone or at a dinner party, on a plane or in front of the TV, he reveals how to understand what we're tasting and influence what others experience. This is accessible science at its best, fascinating to anyone in possession of an appetite. Crammed with discoveries about our everyday sensory lives, Gastrophysics is a book guaranteed to make you look at your plate in a whole new way.Binding Type: Paperback

Didn’t hold its shape after 1 month.
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Queen
been using this pillow for about a month now, and here’s my honest take.
At first, it was super comfortable — soft, supportive, and perfect for getting a good night’s sleep. It gave great neck support and felt like a solid upgrade.
But after a few weeks, I did notice it started to lose its shape a bit. It’s still comfortable, just not as supportive as when I first got it. I find myself fluffing it more often now.

Pillow for everyone
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
I think this pillow is too firm. I prefer a softer pillow but wanted to try this one. I may just have to get use to it. I will keep using it and see if I cannot get use to it.

Gonna get more for the guest room while I'm thinking about it.
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Queen
I will buy these again in a few years. I got 2 for me, and two for my man. They look super nice and full, and squish perfectly when you lay your head down on them.
They are economical and priced nicely. They fluff decent when you fluff them, and I love my pillows again. These got rid of my headaches from neck trouble.
I love these pillows. I'm gonna actually buy some right now for my guest room while I'm thinking about it. I compare these to that hotel I slept at once that had the most amazing pillows. Clean crisp fresh and soft. But not too soft. They are definitely soft, but cradle your head like a hug.

Well made and soft Resilient but not memory foam Good for back or tummy sleeper
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Queen
These pillows are well made I put them in the dryer on medium heat for 10 min 2 at a time, and they doubled in fluffiness They're soft to the touch as well as in plushness/depth They are resilient but not memory foam I don't think they would be firm enough for a side sleeper but nice for resting on your back or tummy
