an edible exploration of the mathematics of mathematics

"In How to Bake Pi, math professor Eugenia Cheng provides an accessible introduction to the logic and beauty of mathematics, powered, unexpectedly, by insights from the kitchen: we learn, for example, how the b?echamel in a lasagna can be a lot like the number 5, and why making a good custard proves that math is easy but life is hard"--From publisher description.
