On occasion of the 60th birthday of Professor Lutz Friedjan Tietze his coworkers in the Institute of Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry at the University of Göttingen dedicated this cookbook to him. It collects the favorite recipes of more than fifty well-known chemists.

Anlässlich des 60. Geburtstags von Professor Lutz Friedjan Tietze widmete ihm sein Arbeitskreis am Institut für Organische und Biomolekulare Chemie an der Universität Göttingen, vertreten durch die Herausgeber, dieses Kochbuch, in dem die beliebtesten Rezepte von mehr als fünfzig bekannten Chemikern versammelt sind.

"Now at last we have the evidence...of what people in the scientific community have long known: creative chemists are successful not only at the bench but also at the kitchen stove. After all, cooking too is an experimental science! To put in practice the idea of taking a peek into the cooking pots of one's colleagues is something that has long been overdue. It has now become a reality, thanks to collegues of Lutz Tietze in Göttingen on the occasion of his 60th birthday...the result is a very interesting "mixtura mirabilis"... "What's Cooking in Chemistry" is, of course, neither a chemistry textbook nor a book for the kitchen, nor is it intended to be either. But it is a charming, very personal, collection of "favorite recipes" - mostly good plain fare - presented against the background of the contributors' scientific interests. Chemists will derive pleasure from giving this carefully edited book (which has a good index) to friends and collegues in the scientific community, and thereby also giving pleasure to them. One should also have a copy in one's own bookshelves, as this charming book may encourage one's acquaintances to look more kindly on a profession that tends to be subconsciously identified with poisons and environmental damage. Guten Appetit, buon appetito, and enjoy your meal!" Prof. Gottfried Märkl Universität Regensburg "...In summary, a novel, well written and carefully presented book. Quite aside from its obvious use as a source of valuable biographic, scientific and culinary information and providing additional criteria for the selection of interesting places to do a post-doc or sabbatical, its reasonable price make book just the gift for that hard to please scientist on your list." The Alchemist - The ChemWeb Magazine "This is a cookbook, and one that is both serious and fun. The serious part comes from the scientific sketches of 56 professors from around the world who provide an overview of their research as well as their favorite recipes. Some of
