About this product

Product Information

The bestselling 75th Anniversary edition of the Joy of Cooking --the book Julia Child called "a fundamental resource for any American cook"--restores the voice of the original authors and many of the most beloved recipes from past editions and includes quick, healthy recipes for the way we cook today. Look for a new, revised edition of JOY with 600 new recipes coming in November 2019 A St. Louis widow named Irma Rombauer took her life savings and self-published a book called The Joy of Cooking in 1931. Her daughter Marion tested recipes and made the illustrations, and they sold their mother-daughter project from Irma's apartment. Today, nine revisions later, the Joy of Cooking --selected by The New York Public Library as one of the 150 most important and influential books of the twentieth century--has taught tens of millions of people to cook, helped feed and delight millions beyond that, answered countless kitchen and food questions, and averted many a cooking crisis. Ethan Becker, Marion's son, led the latest version of JOY, still a family affair, into the twenty-first century with the seventy-fifth anniversary edition that draws upon the best of the past while keeping its eye on the way we cook now. It features a rediscovery of the witty, clear voices of Marion Becker and Irma Rombauer, whose first instructions to the cook were "stand facing the stove." Recently, Ethan's son, John Becker, and John's wife, Megan Scott, joined the JOY team, where they oversee the brand's website (TheJoyKitchen.com) and all social media for JOY. They spearheaded the creation of the bestselling Joy of Cooking app, available for iPhone and iPad. JOY remains the greatest teaching cookbook ever written. Reference material gives cooks the precise information they need for success. New illustrations focus on techniques, including everything from knife skills to splitting cake layers, setting a table, and making tamales. The 75th Anniversary edition also brings back the encyclopedic chapter Know Your Ingredients. The chapter that novices and pros alike have consulted for over thirty years has been revised, expanded, and banded, making it a book within a book. Cooking Methods shows cooks how to braise, steam, roast, saut , and deep-fry effortlessly, while an all-new Nutrition chapter has the latest thinking on healthy eating--as well as a large dose of common sense. This edition restores the personality of the book, reinstating popular elements such as the grab-bag Brunch, Lunch, and Supper chapter and chapters on frozen desserts, cocktails, beer and wine, canning, salting, smoking, jellies and preserves, pickles and relishes, and freezing foods. Fruit recipes bring these favorite ingredients into all courses of the meal, and there is a new grains chart. There are even recipes kids will enjoy making and eating, such as Chocolate Dipped Bananas, Dyed Easter Eggs, and the ever-popular Pizza. In addition to hundreds of brand-new recipes, this JOY is filled with many recipes from all previous editions, retested and reinvented for today's tastes. This is the JOY for how we live now. Knowing that most cooks are sometimes in a hurry to make a meal, the JOY now has many new dishes ready in thirty minutes or less. Slow cooker recipes have been added for the first time. This JOY shares how to save time without losing flavor by using quality convenience foods such as canned stocks and broths, beans, tomatoes, and soups, as well as a wide array of frozen ingredients. Cooking creatively with leftovers emphasizes ease and economy, and casseroles--those simple, satisfying, make-ahead, no-fuss dishes--abound. Especially important to busy households is a new section that teaches how to cook and freeze for a day and eat for a week, in an effort to eat more home-cooked meals, save money, and dine well. As always, JOY grows with the times: The 75th Anniversary edition of JOY boasts an expanded Vegeta

Bought and paid for the book. Seller said it was damaged and they would find another. Then I received a shipping notice. When it didn’t arrive when they said, I waited a week and contacted seller. Received a quick refund. Now it is listed again for twice the price. This seller is a ripoff artist and should be banned from eBay.

    Old Standard

    This cookbook is the one I've been using for 40 years. It has standard old recipes and updated new cuisines such as French, Chinese, Mexican, and Cajun. My old book was falling apart, so I ordered a replacement at a VERY reasonable price.

  • Review of Joy of Cooking--75th Anniversary Edition

    The 75th anniversary sticker says it all: this cookbook has staying power because it contains basic recipes and culinary information that every cook can use. The blurbs include the likes of Julia Child, Craig Claiborne, and James Beard enthusiastically praising it as a kitchen essential.This book was bought as a bridal shower gift (it was on the bride's registry), indicating that modern brides consider it as much a starting point for their cookbook collections, as did those of us who married decades ago. It was also a non-intimidating manual for my son to take to his first apartment. As an experienced cook, I replaced my 1960s era copy that was worn out with a cerlox-bound edition, and I still refer to its substitution lists and "know your ingredients" sections for quick, easy to ...

  • Amazing Cookbook. Vielen Dank Irma!

    Irma Starkloff Rombauer (30 October 1877 - 14 October 1962) was the author of The Joy of Cooking. It is one of the world's most published cookbooks, having been in print continuously since 1936. More than 18 million copies have sold since the Great Depression. Irma Rombauer published her recipes and anecdotes during that time in the hope of lifting America's spirits. Today, nine revisions later, the Joy of Cooking, selected by The New York Public Library as one of the 150 most important and influential books of the twentieth century, has taught tens of millions of people to cook, helped feed and delight millions beyond that, answered countless kitchen and food questions, and averted many a cooking crisis. Born in 1877, Irma Rombauer’s young life was uniquely charmed. She was a member of ...

  • The Bible of American Cooking

    The Joy of Cooking is a very comprehensive, detailed yet simple cookbook. I came across this book (can't remember which edition) 7 years ago when I started working as a cook for a non-profit group and had little formal training and formal experience. I was able to be come successful using this book by grounding myself with cooking fundamentals and then unleashing the taste of real home made cooking. This book covers all the basics of cooking as well as very advanced concepts including making your own meat or vegetable stock; completely homemade meals, preparing convinience foods; making your own pasta and even growing your own garden (in the index)! I have turned out entrees and soups that have been described "the best" by a good number of people including the book's recepies for beef ...

  • This book has become my first resource of all the100 + cookbooks I own.

    My friend is a really gourmet cook who routinely uses ingredients I have never purchased and am not even sometimes familiar with. She said this book was her first and most important resource, so even though I already have far more cookbooks than can ever fit in my kitchen even if I removed all the pots and pans, I simply had to order this one, too. I am glad I did. It is well written, has extensive information about the product such as diagrams showing the cuts of meat and then recipes that give appropriate preparation methods and so on. I like the way the index is organized, and will never again purchase a lovely country church regional cookbook because the indexes are unuseable, with computerized entries just as they were turned in, instead of being categorized for usefulness (i.e., ...
