/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>18554225
i only use cooking books for reference not actual recipes
like all people should

>>18554225
Got this book for $1 at the library bookstore. Best dollar I've ever spent.

>>18554284
which version/edition was it?

Do people still use cook books?
I just type in what I want to make, look at 5-6 recipes, and then synthesize from what I like about them.

>>18554289
75th anniversary edition.

>>18554298
Nice, that one is supposed to be decent. Apparently the 1997 edition sucks (removed a bunch of good stuff) and the 1962 also sucks (was published without permission, and had updated versions released basically immediately after)

>>18554291
>I just type in what I want to make
Joy of Cooking has over 4,000 recipes. I'm sure some of them are things that you've never even thought of making before (but would still enjoy)

>>18554225
Sweet I can post this again

>>18554225
My dad and stepmom had a Joy of Sex book and I used to sneak into their room and look at it. One time when I opened the drawer it was in, I found topless picks of my stepmom.

>>18554225
Very partial to this one

The 2019 edition doesn't have that diagram :(
But it does have a few paragraphs on preparing squirrel. Just says to skin it like a rabbit though.

>>18554336
>The 2019 edition doesn't have that diagram :(
Yeah I heard the newer ones had it removed. What a bummer. Also if anyone wants a recipe I'll be happy to snap a picture and share

>>18554367
How many bear recipes are there in that one? 2019 just has a single "braised bear" recipe

>>18554376
Picrel is all I could locate

What about the current edition, is that compromised? Which one's best?

>>18554473
I've never seen any complaints about the current (2019) edition, aside from people wanting e.g. diagrams on preparing a squirrel like >>18554321

The 2019 edition DOES have a "game and exotic meats" chapter, including:
Small game (squirrel, opossums, raccoons, muskrat, woodchuck, beaver). No actual recipes here, just tips on dressing/preparing
Rabbit/hare (5 or 6 recipes)
Venison (like 4 recipes)
Wild sheep and goats (just says to prepare these like domestic lamb and goat)
Wild boar (basically just says to cook it like normal pork, while being sure to cook it to the correct temperature due to the increased chance of wild boar having trichinosis)
Bear (recipe for braised bear like I mentioned above)
Bison, yak, and alpaca

To be clear, this is one of the shortest chapters in the book, at 8 pages.

Slightly better picture. Still hilarious.

>>18554225
My go-to recipes for breakfast pancakes and biscuits.

I've heard the pancake recipe is great, but I haven't tried it yet

Wet age the squirrel meat 3 days in a bowl of water to reduce the gaminess.

>>18554225
First thing I got after I moved out on my own (at my grandmas insistence) Still have it, still use it.

The convenience of the internet was ruined by internet. Books are now kings again.
