Editing Cookbook (section)

==Usage outside the world of food==
The term ''cookbook'' is sometimes used metaphorically to refer to any book containing a straightforward set of already tried and tested "[[recipe]]s" or instructions for a specific field or activity, presented in detail so that the users who are not necessarily expert in the field can produce workable results. Examples include a set of circuit designs in [[electronics]], a book of [[Spell (paranormal)|magic spells]], or ''[[The Anarchist Cookbook]]'', a set of instructions on destruction and living outside the law. [[O'Reilly Media]] publishes a series of books about [[computer programming]] named the [[O'Reilly Media#Cookbook|Cookbook series]], and each of these books contain hundreds of ready to use, cut and paste examples to solve a specific problem in a single [[programming language]].
