A new method of Science Communication is needed to make ordinary people familiar with Genetically Modified (GM) foods. Science communication device called “Kitchen Science” was designed and tried successfully. In Kitchen Science, two kinds of corn margarine were used for the speaker and audience to cook cakes(one is corn margarine made of non-GM corn, the other is that made of non-segregated non-GM corn), then listening to the lecture on GM food and its safety and tasting the cakes cooked by themselves followed. According to the answers of questionnaires after the “Kitchen Science”, the participants enjoyed and felt a kind of familiarity to GM food. Those people who like science may join science communication while ordinary people who do not like science may attend “Kitchen Science” eventually to arrive at a science communication level. Thus, “Kitchen Science” is expected as an easy way for ordinary people to join in science communication.
