ASP.NET Web API 2 Recipes

Like all of us in this industry, I have been through a ton of programming or framework-centric books in my career as a developer. Without a doubt, my favorite type has always been a recipe-style book. It might be my low attention span or simply my urge to solve problems rather than read through abstract discussions, but I really enjoy the no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point format of such publications.
