Description
The Pendent in the Kitchen 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. It is a perfect comfort for anyone who has ever been defeated by a cookbook and is something none of Julian Barnes’ legion of admirers will want to miss.
