No one mentioned Joy of Cooking here, and you glossed over my recommendation to get a cookbook from recent decades (not the 50s!)... like an updated version of The Joy of Cooking.

Joy of cooking was mentioned multiple times here. Are you alright? What is the problem? You are being really pushy about a topic you seem to have marginal knowledge of.

Joy of Cooking was mentioned zero times in the comment I made originally and was replied to here above. I have no idea why the reply to me above mentioned it.
Betty Crocker cookbook is what this whole comment thread was about. I trust you realize there is a very big difference between Joy of Cooking, a book written by the late Julia Childs, and The Betty Crocker Cookbook, a book written by a fictitious person invented by a giant corporation to market and sell their processed food. Please read and comprehend before you reply.

Again, you are wrong.
Julia Child had nothing to do with writing the Joy of Cooking.
You have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Sit down little man.

Why the deceptively-named second account?

More than once I've seen an internet recipe on a large site where the person who submitted the recipe says what is published has minimal relation to what they submitted. All too often I see ketchup substituted for tomato sauce and a bit of sugar.
The editions from 30 years ago already had changes and guidance related to the changes in the way pork is raised/bred/produced. All those Aspic & gross molded meat recipes were banished from mainstream cookbooks 40+ years ago too.
The internet recipes certainly don't take this kind of thing into account. Lots of them are bad versions of recipes that were plagiarized from famous cookbooks, which changes that don't make sense or issues that you will discover if you follow the recipe.
Many of these recipe blogs are not interested in quality of the recipe, just quality of the SEO and getting their ad dollars. They are also certainly not interested in keeping the recipe healthy since they are probably not actually making the food from the recipe and eating it.
You can do far better with an actual cookbook. I think the actual recipes on the internet are probably all just content farm nonsense. ChatGPT is probably really useful for writing the nonsense stuff at the top of the blog that helps with SEO!
