OF INTEREST________________________________________________________________________________
Cookery Skullduggery?
A 'new' Joy of Cooking is out ("Does the World Need Another ‘Joy’? Do You?") -- but it's really an old one, an attempt to undo the damage of the disastrous rewrite of a decade ago and return to the beloved earlier version of this classic, first published in 1931. (PT's dog-eared and stained copy is a 1964 and will only be pried from my cold dead fingers.) Wanna know the dish behind the feud over the 're-do'? Read this: "Dynasty: A Cookbook Seasoned With Family Ties and Intrigue". And for why this -- and other 'mother' books -- have such a following, check out this story: "Kitchen Classics, in the Eye of the Beholder". Amazon has the new 'Joy' here.
