The day I spotted a recipe for greengage jam by Andrew Clarke on the Simple-Talk forums was when inspiration struck me. Here, I thought with astonishment, is a forum post with barely an ounce of technical talk in it…and yet the post was very popular. Some food for thought indeed. I began to wonder if many of our Simple-Talk readers might have a secret penchant for cooking up an astronomical feast when they’re not beavering away at their monitors. My research into the potential for a more non-technical ‘cookbook’ than many of us in the IT community may be familiar with soon showed me that here was a hungry audience. <\/p>\n
