Our copy of _Everything_ is over ten years old. Risotto is actually a really good example - I had to teach myself to make it by looking for common features in several different recipes. Here's another: I learned to roast a chicken from _Roasting_ by Barbara Kafka. She presents it as a super-simple, adaptible recipe; she tells you what parts are essential and what can be changed. That alone was worth the price of the book. I’m in complete agreement. Our copy of _Everything_ is over ten years old.
