Submitter: I work at the highest circulating branch in a large southwest county library system and found this gem sitting on our high-traffic cooking display. I don’t know what staff member thought this should go on a display rather than the weed bin. How embarrassing, it even has water damaged pages.
Holly: Cookbooks age like anything else. BH&G cranks out plenty of cookbooks every year. If funds and space are tight, weed and replace with a few new titles every 5-10 years and you’ll be better off than keeping this around.
As an aside, what is the fascination with the word “tangy” in these old cookbooks? What, exactly, is tangy? Is it spicy? Sour? Salty?
