Query: My reference cookbook; get the original

If you had to choose only two cookbooks for a young adult setting up his/her first household, I would recommend one of the older Joy of Cooking books (pre-1997) and the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. Joy of Cooking provides all the information you need on measurements, substitutions, ingredients, and basic techniques, such as how to make a roux. I have a 1984 version, which I love. When the 1997 revision came out, I rushed out and bought it, too, assuming I would pass on my older one to a young cook. I am so glad I didn't give my first one away! Not only do I think it is a better cookbook with more useful recipes, but it is also built better. The newer version's binding quickly fell apart.
