Description

The Pedant in the Kitchen by Julian Barnes is a witty and practical account of his search for gastronomic precision. He embarks on a quest to cook tasty, nutritious food without poisoning his friends, while expanding his culinary repertoire. As he delves into recipes and those who create them, the Pedant's true pedantry emerges. He interrogates the very basics: what constitutes a 'lump', how big is a 'slug' compared to a 'gout', and when does a 'drizzle' become a downpour? His journey takes him from Jane Grigson to Nigel Slater, with reassurance found in Mrs Beeton's Victorian virtues. This book offers comfort for anyone who has struggled with cookbooks and will appeal to fans of Julian Barnes' work.
