Enjoyable, informative, and accessible
As a mathematician, not a cook, I found Henle's mathematics entertaining and accessible (to everyone, not just mathematicians). But I enjoyed reading all the recipes as well. After finishing the book, I had an urge to try his cheesecake right away. And I might, just might, try my hand at baking bread. Henle makes both cooking and mathematics delightfully engaging and nonthreatening.
