For many years, I’ve found myself wondering at the array of scientific results I see presented at conferences or in the press- while some are breathtaking masterpieces of creativity, others… well, aren’t.

But where do the small discoveries go? With a longstanding push to expand the scientific and academic enterprise, simple statistics argues there will be an increasing need for trivial, out of the way journals where people can bury the past four years of their lives and get on with getting a degree.

Into that niche enters the Journal of Bavarian Cookie Recipes and Occasional Science, a collection of everyday observations of the world around us. Since food for the mind is rarely appreciated on an empty stomach, these findings will be cheerfully accompanied by more mundane discussions- expect things involving frosting to feature prominently.
