I've never encountered this in books! That would be soooo annoying. What kind of books are you seeing it in?

[(Anonymous)]

I was seeing it the most in newer cooking books. I think the comment about organic spices was in relation to one for hommade ice cream making that dedicated lots of space - aside from their opinions on machines - to where they thought you should source your flavorings. ("Source" - another one of those trendy nouns-being-used-as-verbs that may age terribly.) The complaint about pan suppliers is from a book on baking that got really picky about how you should really only bake in aluminum, but if you're one of those people who got scared of aluminum leaching into your food "you shouldn't be, you should just look for anodized aluminum which is safe," and the best place to get it ... you get the idea. But it's all over the place. New book about making hommade pasta? Obligatory spiels about the pros and cons of pasta machines and how to pick a good one, plus recommendations on ravioli stamps and other sundries. New book about self-taught sewing? Matrioschka-doll style lists with illustrative pictures on what you "must have" (read: buy), versus what is nice to have, versus what is good gear once you reach such-and-such crafting milestones. I would elaborate on what I saw in gardening books, but I'm tired.

I will give the pasta book some credit for mentioning one machine supplier that is Italian rather than American, but in every other regard, no love for this trend.

Note also that I have no clue whether their take on aluminum is baldfaced industry propaganda. IIRC, aluminum leaching into food has been implicated in chronic illness and early onset dementia.
