|  Why
Weed Cookery?
Cookery
is a subject area that has not received much attention in
weeding guidelines. Cookbooks are often kept on the shelves
until their physical condition warrants the removal. In
the meantime, there have been substantial changes in the
recommended procedures for safely cooking and storing food.
Dietary guidelines have also seen dramatic changes in the
past few years. Students interested in cooking deserve information
that reflects these changes.
Suggested
Dewey Numbers to Check:
Check
the 641s for your print materials on cooking, food preservation,
and food storage. Also check your audiovisual materials,
vertical file, and poster collections.
Specific
Criteria for Weeding:
Millions
of cases of food-borne illnesses are reported each year.
Bacteria in food (especially from undercooked meat, poultry
and fish) can cause intestinal distress, hospitalization,
and even death. Salmonella, campylobacter, and E. coli are
among the bacteria that have redefined the way foods must
be safely prepared. Older methods of cooking (e.g. rare
hamburger) can result in serious health problems for the
user. Experts estimate that E. coli from under-cooked beef
causes as many as 20,000 infections and over 200 deaths
each year! Even when safety in food handling and preparation
is not at issue, new dietary guidelines make many cookbooks
obsolete and even dangerous to young cooks. New information
on nutrition and health requires changes from traditional
recipes and menus. Do you have cookbooks with recipes that
disregard fat intake, sugar, salt, and cholesterol? Today's
guidelines recommend that the fat intake be no more than
20 percent of calories. Special diet cookbooks have also
changed with current information. Cookbooks with appealing
and practical vegetarian recipes should also be a part of
a current and healthful cookery collection.
