helpful cooking site

We got a Joy of Cooking and a Betty Crocker's Cookbook as wedding presents. This was in 1990, so I don't know what edition of JoC it was. Now I realize that JoC is supposed to be the culinary equivalent of the Bible, Talmud, Koran, Baghavad Gita, Upanishads, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and Our Bodies Ourselves all rolled into one. But the fact is, I've never made anything out of it that came out halfway decent. And while I'm not a master chef I've cooked a lot and I can follow a recipe.

Betty Crocker, on the other hand, has yielded many fabulous successes. I'm ready to buy another one because it's literally falling apart.
