Have your read the section about "How to Skin a Squirrel?" I know, I know...but they definitely are thorough. They even mention that you don't want a little red one, the kind that run around suburban neighborhoods, instead they tell you to select the darker brown ones. In hard times who knows?

JoC is a more complete book and works well as a kitchen reference, but it's not as good as HTCE at teaching kitchen fundamentals.

It seems like a similar concept... I'm just wondering if I should buy one when I already have the other? I wonder if anyone knows how this book compares to How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman?
