It's not just any farmer that can farm a fanny, you know. It takes
talent.
I use TJoC, a couple of books by James Beard (who always seemed, in
his writing style, to be barely concealing some major perversion that
he really wanted to get off his chest, but whose views on food
generally coincide rather eerily with mine; unfortunately I'm quite
the bore on the whole perversion thing -- I don't even farm fannies).
I've also found Food For Fifty and the textbooks of Wayne Gisslen to
be enormously helpful.
