   Cooking.com is on a par with www.williams-sonoma.com, and maybe better.  If I've missed any cooking equipment (or any food), please let me know and I'll work on it.
   OED doesn't have "recipe box."  It's a little box kept in the kitchen, with recipes in it on index cards.  Those were the days before hand-helds.
   There is a large time gap between these citations, so use caution.
