DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER

A Thai recipe book entitled "Cooking With Poo" has won the Diagram Prize for oddest title of the year.

In fact, “poo” is not what you first feared it was. It's Thai for “crab” as well as the cookbook author's nickname.

Saiyuud Diwong runs a community cookery school in one of Bangkok's slum areas.

Her book managed to beat all other contenders for the Diagram Prize in a public vote, leaving behind such promising titles as “The Great Singapore Penis Panic and the Future of American Mass Hysteria” and “Mr Andoh's Pennine Diary: Memoirs of a Japanese Chicken Sexer in 1935 Hebden Bridge”.
