Joy of Cooking, 75th Anniversary Edition - 2006 By Irma S. Rombauer and Marion Rombauer Becker and Ethan Becker"Seventy-five years ago, a St. Louis widow named Irma Rombauer took her life savings and self-published a book called The Joy of Cooking. Her da

Cook up some classics!

Originally a self-published book in 1931, and no less than nine revisions later, this thick volume of recipes (it's got to be at least 3 inches thick) is a great addition to anyone's cook book library.

But wait! This book is not merely just a collection of recipes- although with 4000 classic recipes and an additional 500 new ones, that would make it worth buying alone. No, this cook book stands heads and shoulders above the rest because its what I call a "teaching" cook book. It contains recipes for just about every dish or food category you can think of which are arranged in various sections throughout the book. Then, at the beginning of each chapter, there is a kind of introduction which goes into detail about that category. For example, the section on grains starts off with an almost encyclopedic explanation of the types of grains, their anatomy, how to combine them, and so on.

A handy, informative cook book with plenty of choices, there is sure to be something for everyone and even healthy eaters will find a great section on what makes up a healthy diet, how many calories you need, etc. Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator for readers who need more motivation to eat healthier and have trouble changing their diet habits.

The Joy of Cooking

I have my own copy of this book, but the one I got through Amazon was for a friend in Australia. I am very pleased with your service as the book was delivered 3 weeks before you said it would...thank you and I will continue to use amazon.com.

The best cookbook ever

My old copy of Joy of Cooking is almost 40 years old...I thought it would be nice to update it by purchasing the newest edition. It is wonderful. I always give Joy to new brides or those starting out housekeeping for the first time. If one could have only one cookbook, Joy is the one to have!

As good as ever

The Joy of Cooking just never gets old! My husband and I love reading all about the foods we're using in the great recipes.

A problem

The book had a small rip and little smushing of the cover. If it had been for me, or a used item, I wouldn't have cared, but it was a gift for a young bride, and I would have preferred an unblemish more virginal copy.
