The Pedant in the Kitchen by Julian Barnes
This started as a series of articles in the Guardian Review and for that reason is better in small bites than consumed whole. Written with style and humour it will resonate with anyone who, unsure of their cooking skills and knowledge, seeks precision in recipe books. An entertaining alternative to yet another recipe book, perhaps.
