...best cookbooks are much more than collections of recipes. They involve the history, economics, technology, climate, social order and religion that shape a nation's cooking.

At the same time, they have marked a retreat from the ostentatious extremes of "new" cuisines, from what Author Paula Wolfert calls "front of the mouth" food.

Two of the most widely touted applications, balancing checking accounts and filing kitchen recipes, are better done with pencil and paper than on screen. Checkbooks can be carried in a pocket and filled out on the spot. For recipes, one good cookbook holds more data than eight floppy discs and can be thumbed with wet or sticky hands. Mastering data-base software can also be a taxing task, especially for the neophyte. Most data-base programs are marketed for business use; they come with powerful features and inch-thick manuals.
