Tie on your apron and step into Jim Henle's kitchen as he demonstrates how two equally savory pursuits—cooking and mathematics—have more in common than you may realize. With illustrations and plenty of wit, Henle finds the links between a tricky Sudoku puzzle and a cake that fell, and between an L-shaped billiard table and a sudden desire for Italian potstickers. Along with a few recipes, here too are the mathematical equivalents of vegetarianism, Asian fusion, and celebrity chefs.
