Review
Since its first private printing in 1931, The Joy of Cooking has been teaching people how to cook. Craig Claiborne calls it "a masterpiece of clarity" and Julia Child says it's the one book she'd keep if she could only have one English title on the shelf. The nearly 5,000 recipes are handily organized by meal and ingredient, and no cooking instruction goes unexplained, so you can finally understand the difference between poaching and braising. The book includes nutritional information as well as an extremely helpful list of measures and equivalents. You'll find a version of every recipe your mother ever cooked, along with straightforward instructions for cooking more exotic specialities such as turtles and muskrats.
Review
"I highly recommend this book as a must-have in your kitchen. Chock full of great information, this book takes all of the guess work out and leaves no stone unturned." -- Paula Deen
"The Joy of Cooking has always been a very important book. When it was first published, it made a great impression on American cooking. It is, and should continue to be a staple in any good culinary collection because Irma's voice is there with you in the kitchen giving guidance and encouragement and friendly tips and reminders. The why's and how's are carefully explained, and that's what makes Joy a fundamental resource for any American cook!" -- Julia Child, June 2004
"Joy of Cooking is the ultimate reference guide that I have been using for years. It's timeless and packed with perfect recipes for the home cook that stands up to the test of time." -- Tyler Florence

Hardback. Anglicised 5 Revised ed. Times and lifestyles have changed since Irma Rombauer first published the original Joy of Cooking in 1931, and for this 6th edition, the New Joy of Cooking, Ethan Becker, grandson of Irma and son of Marion Rombauer Becker, together with Maria Guarnaschelli, senior editor and vice president at Scribner's, called on top food professionals to produce a new cookbook/guide that reflects what North Americans eat and how they prepare their food today.It's still chock full of recipes -- roughly 3,000 -- but in the new Joy, they have been revised from earlier editions to include new cooking techniques such as grilling, food processors, microwaves, and America's more recent passions for pizza, pasta, noodles, burritos, grains and noodles. Interests in healthy, leaner cuisine are reflected, along with ethnic cuisines.There is much debate on the merits of the "old" Joy vs. the "new" Joy, and whether these changes -- replacing information on canning and preserving with grilling and flavored oils for example -- are a benefit to you as a cook. It's a matter of personal choice. both are equally comprehensive, reliable, and trustworthy kitchen companions. You must have one.The authors just keep stuffing the pages back into their copy of Joy of Cooking, and would never part with the quirky illustrations, Irma Simon and Shuster, 1999. First UK edition, first printing. A fine, unmarked copy in a fine d/w which is in a protective cover. Scans available if required. Seller Inventory # 4989308
