I've never understood the Bittman-love either. He always came across to me as the new "Joy of Cooking".

At least it is better than Joy of Cooking. By a big factor.

 

I recall a lot shouting  over on that other food site when I said t hat JoC was a POS a few years ago. It was like I said something nasty about people's mothers.

I always felt that "Joy" was a seminal cookbook for many.  Not only a cookbook either; how to set a table, and other important things.

 

Now, as to whether I actually cook from it, well - no.

 

But = perhaps this can be the beginning of another topic?
