«El perfeccionista en la cocina» is the humorous essay by Julian Barnes, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (136 pages, in Spanish).
Julian Barnes, a late convert to the stove, humorously recounts his experiences among pans and pots and the gulf between recipe and dish. Amid sauces and deflated soufflés, the amateur cook recognises himself in doubts like what a medium onion is or what medium heat means, and in the motto that it is not a restaurant.
Number 638 in the Panorama de narrativas collection, translated by Jaime Zulaika; first edition published on 24 May 2006.
For cooking enthusiasts who want to laugh at their own failures at the stove and for readers seeking Julian Barnes's humour and irony.
Julian Patrick Barnes is an English essayist, novelist and short story writer.
