My wonderfully-intelligent-computer-programming son would benefit from a
cookbook like that. A few years ago, he decided to have Thanksgiving dinner
in his new condo. I agreed to cook the turkey and bring it over; his job
was to see that the "trimmings" were made or brought by another family
member. He decided to make the candied yams.
He called me on Thanksgiving morning, asking how to make the yams. I told
him to bake the yams like he would a potato, and I would come over and help
with the rest. He then went to the Internet to learn how to bake a potato!
