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.

评分失眠读物。一开始看得平平淡淡，后来愈发有趣。康拉德的妻子出了一本饮食书后，康拉德给作序：The intention of every other piece of prose may be discussed and even mistrusted, but the purpose of a cookery book is one and unmistakable. Its object can conceivably be no other than to increase the happiness of mankind. JB说这是一个grand statement, and properly uxorious。 最后那个词uxorious如鲠在喉，这世界上有成百上千个给妻子的新书
评分厨房里的学究。看惯了不管是真潇洒还是演技派的厨房大亨们的戏剧，遇到这样的写真派nerd还真是爱啊～学术派大师的厨艺小品文，或揶揄或逗乐或挖苦或感触，精彩。
评分真欢乐。。快速成为和Julian Barnes藏食谱量相仿的人
