I should have known that someone would intensely disagree with my intense disagreement on the safety of Joy. :-) I guess that shows that cookbooks are more personal than politics. I recently read two different reviews of the same cookbook in two different magazines; One reviewer loved it, and the other hated it. Often over the same points. Perhaps the best advice is that there probably is no cookbook that is ABSOLUTELY safe for all cooks, and the best bet is to `feed your mistakes to your family' before you make it for company.
