Curious about "topics the internet left behind," where there's tons of deep knowledge in old books, but most everything online's shallow & Yahoo Answers-like. Serious piano practice technique is a good example; culinary composition is another.
Why do some topics end up that way?

Basically: how do you compose a dish? Say I want to feature some beautiful snap peas in the context of a refreshing first course. What makes it a good idea to, say, pile them on toast smeared with ricotta, then to top them with meyer lemon zest, roasted almonds, and mint?

oh, i see! i think i'd refer to the flavor bible (which is, as you point out, not online) but that's just a starting point — i'm not sure where i'd go online to learn the theory behind that.

Yeah, that's a great reference, and as you say, it's not online!
