Amen to the bible of all cooks !!!!! I took the JOC overseas to Egypt years ago before the the great internet god, Google, was even thought of and thank goodness I did!!! There was no such thing as cut up chickens,beef, pork, etc., prepackaged convenience foods, etc. ---you did everything basically from scratch--if it hadn't been for that wonderful cookbook I don't know what I would have done. Egypt's scawny dry turkeys (back then, maybe not now) were a joke but we had a wonderul juicy turkey for Thanksgiving thanks to the JOC. They suggested seasoning the turkey the night before and then baking it with a cheesecloth dipped in oil. Wonderful!! Even Butterball would have been impressed-----who cares if we had the anorexic version. She was delicious on the runway!! ( I meant platter) Will have to look for this 75th version as mine is the "1975" edition. Thanks for the posting, SevenS!!
