Clever idea – a recipe book physically divided into starters, mains and puddings so you can plan a meal and have each course recipe in front of you. Brilliant!
Review: Our previous volume of this had become very battered,so we were delighted to replace it. Considered very trendy in the sixties there is a decidedly “retro’ feel about it. The “slice” in the title refers to the binding (spiral) which allows the book to be divided horizontally into three, so you can have the recipe and method for 3 courses (colour coded to go well together) open simultaneously. Although tastes and trends have changed since it appeared, there are still some excellent recipes many just waiting to be revived or rediscovered
NOTE: This is an original book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam.
In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
