100%.
But I was pondering more what the general population might do. People are going to figure out slop recipes don’t work, but the question is what’s the next most accessible thing to replace it with?

I have a cookbook (not a recipe book - there’s a difference) from 50 years ago (with the latest edition being 2019) and it’s amazing. No need to go for modern hipster recipes that don’t teach you anything…

my mother has something like 8000 cookbooks she’s collected from the 1930s to around 2015.
I think I’m set.

Heh, so does mine.
All our parents’ book hoarding may end up saving us. And the internet, if they become the new standard?

Until they take without or print date.

You joke, but that’s horrifying.
This is already an SEO technique, apparently, and I could see Amazon book sellers finding a way to fudge it: yoast.com/help/date-appears-search-results/

As someone who lives at an altitude above 50ft, most cookbooks always kinda sucked out-of-the-box.

Wandering through to mention that your local library almost certainly has a collection of cookbooks spanning decades, and, depending on your area, might even have stuff tied specifically to your region. Take the book, photocopy the recipes you’re interested in, return it, get to cooking!
