The new joy of cooking is an abomination. The old venerable J O'C was a wealth of information on the underlying principles of cooking.
I was given a copy of the new one and I flipped it open to double check instructions for something simple like a roux or making stock, I forget which and I find instead of explanations there is some LAME ASS SHIT like "today's world is so busy no one has time to cook, so it is much easier to open a package of..." I'm paraphrasing, but you get the idea. The book sucks like a pail of leeches.
It's like the pillsbury bake offs. No one bakes anymore, they open a variety of boxes...
