The Pedant's ambition is simple. He wants to cook tasty, nutritious food; he wants not to poison his friends; and he wants to expand, slowly and with pleasure, his culinary repertoire. A stern critic of himself and others, he knows he is never going to invent his own recipes (although he might, in a burst of enthusiasm, increase the quantity of a favourite ingredient). Rather, he is a recipe-bound follower of the instructions of others. It is in his interrogations of these recipes, and of those who create them, that the Pedant's true pedantry emerges. How big, exactly, is a 'lump'? Is a 'slug' larger than a 'gout'? When does a 'drizzle' become a downpour? And what is the difference between slicing and chopping? This book is a witty and practical account of Julian Barnes' search for gastronomic precision. It is a quest that leaves him seduced by Jane Grigson, infuriated by Nigel Slater, and reassured by Mrs Beeton's Victorian virtues. The Pedant in the Kitchen is perfect comfort for anyone who has ever been defeated by a cookbook and is something that none of Julian Barnes' legion of admirers will want to miss.

“Cooking too is an affair of sanity – even literally so.” 煮食料理相關小集子 很輕鬆隨意 畫麵感強的時候會爆笑不止
評分應該是專欄豆腐塊集結成冊?好玩的一本小書,巴恩斯特彆愛同食譜較勁兒,若不能理解他這種“cookbook原教旨主義”,大概不能接受各種斤斤計較(“憑什麼食譜裏的字詞就沒小說裏的來得要緊?前者導緻生理消化不良,後者給予精神打擊。”),要覺得此書龜毛又欠揍。或許因成書年代早,走輕鬆嚮,特彆好讀,文風也俏皮,各種英式joke——彆指望讀完長幾分廚藝,笑一笑有益身心健康倒是真的。很喜歡最後一篇裏Bowen講述的故事:詩人因精神崩潰而被拘禁於醫院,齣院後住在可以俯瞰麵包坊的屋子裏。詩人認為自己身心開始好轉始於某一天——那一日,他望嚮窗外,瞟見一個買麵包的女人。看她全神貫注地挑麵包,詩人感到瞭極度的羨慕。Cooking too is an affair of sanity. Sure it is.
