Mingling with writers, producers, and a legal bordello owner, authors Patrick Buckley and Lily Binns celebrated the release of their new book, The Hungry Scientist Handbook on Friday.
Subtitled Electric Birthday Cakes, Edible Origami, and Other DIY Projects for Techies, Tinkerers, and Foodies, the book was the brainchild of an engineer and his creative friends. As the country shuffles into a recession, these two famished authors hope that their science book can help readers.
At the Manhattan party, favors included liquid nitrogen ice cream, edible lingerie, and a wired pastry. The party was hosted by pioneering editor, Judith Regan, Buckley’s proud mother. Among the guests was Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof, the brothel owner featured on the HBO show, Cathouse.
