I just picked a bunch of honey cakes from the joy of cooking page 677. In the intro writer says that these cakes actually are better with age and can be kept reasonably long if stored properly. What does reasonably long mean. How long can they be stored Just wrapped in a tin can in a cool place. Is it the same as fruitcake or not at all? From the texture and the look in the feel of the cake? It seems like it will not last very long, and will not store very well unless it’s frozen . Anybody have any idea. I’d be grateful to have an opinion. Thank you.

I recently began baking cookies and I notice in an older edition of Joy of Cooking that cookie recipe ingredients sometimes will specify 1 cup packed brown sugar, while other cookie recipes will say 1 cup brown sugar. Should I follow my inclination of always using packed brown sugar, or follow the recipe as stated?

Making a well used recipe for shrimp in Creole sauce that calls for "ground red pepper." Do they mean hot pepper? just red pepper ground up (I do have some -- my Turkish friends use it in cooking). Just asking . . .

Alright, I'm officially over-whelmed by the sheer volume of fabulous-looking recipes. Food 52, my apparently self-reproducing cookbook collection, and now this beautiful website. There is only one solution -- get cooking!
