A bit dated, but .NET Framework Design Guidelines is one that came to mind. I read it ages ago, and its content has since been baked into static analysis tools and ides, but at the time as a younger dev I greatly appreciated the prescriptive simple style. “Do, Don’t, Consider” plain English rules, just enough explanation to help understand the rule, and a simple code example. Maybe I’m just weird, but I often think that this style is a good fit for a number of technical areas. I could see for cooking for example, providing similar might help people unsure about the “rules”.
