Julian Barnes is a Booker Prize-winning author who has written nine novels, a book of short stories, and two collections of essays. He has received several awards and honours for his writing including the Somerset Maugham Award for Metroland (1981), and four Booker Prize nominations: Flaubert's Parrot (1984), England, England (1998), Arthur and George (2005) and The Sense of an Ending (2011).
Julian Barnes's musings on cookery form the perfect bite-size
anthology for literary/foodie folk... with an introduction from The
Independent's Mark Hix, The Pedant in the Kitchen is as crisp and
tart (yes, yes, puns intended) a piece of writing about food as one
will find anywhere... it makes for compelling reading... Did I
mention that it's funny? Barnes hams up his own cack-handedness in
the kitchen delightfully... a sequel would be most delicious.
