Query: Waste of Time and Money

This rewrite has turned a culinary masterpiece into Just Another Cookbook. Most of the new material is duplicated elsewhere, and the unique qualities of the old version have been jettisoned.Only those who are unfamiliar with the original could consider this dumbed-down shadow of Mrs. Rombauer's magnum opus worthwhile. If you don't like some of the the heavier meat dishes in the original, there are plenty of vegetable, legume, and luncheon dish recipes, and the informational sections show you how to adapt recipes to your own taste.I think I'm qualified to make the call on this one, since my grandmother cooked with the first edition of the "Joy", my father used (and is still using) the 1936 edition, and my first cookbook on my marriage in 1977 was the then current edition. I still use it daily.Sorry, I won't be wasting my money on this one. If there were negative stars available, it would get several.
