   DD> Before I   
   DD> got all confuserised my go-to cookery tomes were the plaid covered BH&G   
   DD> cookbook, New York Times cookbook from the Craig Claiborne/Mark Bittman   
   DD> era and Joy of Cooking. But, I had a whole shelf (or more) of cookery    
   DD> volumes...   
      
   Recently i saw that New York Times cookbook in a free pile.  I've seen   
   those plaid covered cookbooks too.  You used past tense.  Does that mean   
   you're fully confuserised now?  I watched a video about WAIS, which was   
   early adopter software for creating distributed search engines.  It   
   would pull data from multiple sources, and the interviewee mentioned a   
   searchable recipe database among other things.  At this time it seems i   
   have no scarcity of cookbooks, but sometimes i wonder if i had to choose   
   one for a "deserted island" scenario, which would i choose?  Chances are   
   i would choose one of those hand-written hand-illustrated cookbooks for   
   its sentimental value rather than its functional value.
