The cookbook is a lamentably underrated read. Curled up in bed languorously browsing recipes is a perfectly restful way to unwind following a hectic day. The choice of cookbook is paramount, however, to this exercise. One does not simply curl up with Leiths Cookery Bible, for the genuine Bible makes for more entertaining reading. Nor does one curl up with The Student’s Sausage, Eggs and Beans Cookbook, for reasons that should be more than apparent.
