The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley was a really interesting story, told from an 11-year-old's point of view.
From Amazon: "Flavia Sabina de Luce is mad about chemistry, loves poisons, and is not above dissolving her older sister’s pearls in acid as an act of revenge. Aged 11, she lives with two sisters, her distant and eccentric father, and a couple of retainers in an old manor house in post-Second World War England."
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a fairly quick detective-type story. I really enjoyed it and Amazon says that this is the first in what will be a series of books starring Flavia. I'd probably read another one - she was definitely a lovable character!
One more book about food before I start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.. if R ever finishes it!
