The original Joy of Cooking was weird. It could make for fun reading,
especially the comments before the recipes. For a diet salad dressing: "No, it
isn't particularly good, but it can be eaten by the bulging with a clear
conscience." (Quote may not be exact, but I lost my copy.) Some of the recipes
were good and others were crap.
