13.7 billion years after the Big Bang, we can still observe traces of the event. Like songs that remind us of the past, the residual sound of this explosion is still ringing in our ears. Cosmic Background Radiation makes us nostalgic for the origin of life. Big Fat Failed Beginnings is a workshop that grabs hold of this nostalgia at its roots.

With your help, and armed with home, garden and kitchen ingredients the Domestic Science Club will cook, blend or mix the BFFB of your dreams.
