Rachel Olding, ‘Penguin reprints book, peppered with an error, wants it to be taken with grain of salt’, SMH:

The publishing company was forced to pulp and reprint 7000 copies of Pasta Bible last week after a recipe called for “salt and freshly ground black people” – instead of pepper – to be added to the spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto.

[…]

“In one particular recipe [a] misprint occurs which obviously came from a spell checker. When it comes to the proofreader, of course they should have picked it up, but proofreading a cookbook is an extremely difficult task. I find that quite forgivable.

Perhaps the headline should have read: ‘Proofreading cookbook an extremely difficult task’.
