Cookbook cock-up




Phil Parker runs wine and food tours around Auckland New Zealand
NZ Herald reports that Penguin Group Australia has had to reprint 7,000 copies of new recipe book "Pasta Bible" costing Penguin $AUD 20,000.

A recipe for tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto, included "salt and freshly ground black people."

Head of publishing, Bob Sessions, acknowledging that the proofreader for the Pasta Bible should have picked up the error, called it nothing more than a "silly mistake."

The recipe was supposed to call for black pepper.
