Even less thrilled with her Joy experience is Elaine Corn, the author of, among other works, 365 Ways to Cook Eggs. She received a phone call from Guarnaschelli, she recalls, saying "she wanted me to do the Joy of Cooking chapter on eggs." Corn agreed to the six-week deadline ("Eggs were fresh on my mind") and shelved other projects. "I worked my butt off on this thing," she says, only to find her work rejected by Guarnaschelli. A few weeks ago, Corn learned that she is listed as a contributor in the new Joy, even though she was paid...

The only sounds he hears are the snap of a rein across the mule's hindquarters, the simple mechanical whirl of his corn-harvesting machine and the creak of his oak-plank wagon as he hauls another stack of feed corn to his son-in-law's silo.
