The encyclopedia of kitchen tools / Elinor Hutton, 287 pgs.
When I picked this up, I thought I would page through it and return it in a day or so...instead I found myself reading every entry as if I needed to truly understand the origin and uses of such things as plates and bowls. Hutton has such and interesting style and way of adding a tiny bit of bait - a little bit of history or commenting on the most popular type of thing, I ended up going through it all with a fine tooth comb. Not a lot of plot but great information for the casual cook.
