The Joy of ...changing recipes - labradors - 09-11-2010

From the Dr. Gourmet website:

Recently a brief article in The Annals of Internal Medicine (2009;150(4):291) featured The Joy of Cooking. Brian Wansink, a food researcher at Cornell University, and his staff surveyed the seven editions of The Joy of Cooking and found that only 18 recipes have appeared in all seven editions (disappointingly, the letter does not list which ones they are).

The team then analyzed the serving sizes for those 18 recipes across the seven editions to see if the portion sizes (and thus the number of calories in each portion) had changed over time. Unsurprisingly, they did increase for 14 of the 18 recipes.


(See FULL ARTICLE for more information.)

It makes you wonder how the editors of The Joy of Cooking selected their recipes and what, on Earth, they were thinking when they decided to increase portion sizes.

It's too bad they (the editors) saw the way trends were headed and jumped on the bandwagon...
