About this product

Product Information

Joy is the all-purpose cookbook. There are other basic cookbooks on the market, and there are fine specialty cookbooks, but no other cookbook includes such a complete range of recipes in every category: everyday, classic, foreign and de luxe. Joy is the one indispensable cookbook, a boon to the beginner, treasure for the experienced cook, the foundation of many a happy kitchen and many a happy home. Privately printed in 1931, Joy has always been family affair, and like a family it has grown. Written by Irma Starkloff Rombauer, a St. Louisan, it was first tested and illustrated by her daughter, Marion Rombauer Becker, and subsequently it was revised and enlarged through Marion's efforts and those of her architect husband, John W. Becker. Their sons--Ethan, with his Cordon Bleu and camping experiences, and Mark, with his interest in natural foods-have reinforced Joy in many ways. Now over forty, Joy continues to be a family affair, demonstrating more than ever the awareness we all share in the growing preciousness of food. Special features in this edition are the chapter on Heat, which gives you many hints on maintaining the nutrients in the food you are cooking, and Know Your Ingredients, which reveals vital characteristics of the materials you commonly combine, telling how and why they react as they do; how to measure them; when feasible, how to substitute one for another; as well as amounts to buy. Wherever possible, information also appears at the point of use. Divided into three parts, Foods We Eat, Foods We Heat and Foods We Keep, Joy now contains more than 4500 recipes, many hundreds of them new to this edition--the first full revision in twelve years. All the enduring favorites will still be found. In the chapter on Brunch, Lunch and Supper Dishes there are also interesting suggestions for using convenience and leftover foods. Through its more than 1000 practical, delightful drawings by Ginnie Hofmann and Ikki Matsumoto, Joy shows how to present food correctly and charmingly, from the simplest to the most formal service; how to prepare ingredients with classic tools and techniques; and how to preserve safely the results of your canning and freezing. Joy grows with the times; it has a full roster of American and foreign dishes: Strudel, Zabaglione, Rijsttafel, Couscous, among many others. All the classic terms you find on menus, such as Provencale, bonne femme, meunière and Florentine, are not merely defined but fully explained so you yourself can confect the dish they characterize. Throughout the book the whys and wherefores of the directions are given, with special emphasis on that vital cooking factor--heat. Did you know that even the temperature of an ingredient can make or mar your best-laid plans? Learn exactly what the results of simmering, blanching, roasting and braising have on your efforts. Read the enlarged discussion on herbs, spices and seasonings, and note that their use is included in suitable amounts in the recipes. No detail necessary to your success in cooking has been omitted. Joy , we hope, will always remain essentially a family affair, as well as an enterprise in which its authors owe no obligation to anyone but to themselves and to you. Choose from our offerings what suits your person, your way of life, your pleasure--and join us in the Joy of cooking. Because of the infinite patience that has gone into the preparation of Joy of Cooking, the publishers offer it on a money-back guarantee. Without question there is no finer all-purpose cookbook.

Seller absolutely, stubbornly refused to communicate with me on the item. I bought it anyway because it was a good price. I sent several messages that went unanswered. So sad. Other than that the shipping and condition was good. The packaging poor and I was very surprised it wasn't damaged. No padding just 2 thin plastic bags.

    The only cook book you'll need!!

    This is my fourth Joy of Cooking. It's a complete how to, from Table Setting to delicious meals, cuts of meat, etc. I'm 79 years old I've gotten full use of previous copies, until they fell apart! I've given Joy to my daughters, granddaughters as Wedding gifts!!

  • A great book for all cooks

    This book has a wide variety of recipes and is great for both the beginning cook as well as an experienced cook who wants to expand his/her talents. I love how the book is arranged and how vast the recipe selection is. I grew up with this book and finally got myself a copy so I don't have to call my dad to get recipes from the book. Much more convenient than guessing if an online recipe will work, and very easy to use index. My only complaint--the font is very small--how else could you get this many recipes into one cookbook!?!

  • 1975 IS a joy!

    The 1975 revision of "The Joy of Cooking" is the version most of us late baby boomers grew up with. Frankly, I had no idea there were different "versions" of the same book. I, like many others, assumed that they just added a few things here or there, tweaked a couple of recipes, and that was it. Boy were we wrong! After many years living at home and then many years in a marriage, I found myself single and in need of a cookbook. Well, I went out and bought the first book that came to mind-The Joy of Cooking. I discovered that I had the dreaded 1997 edition. I didn't know there was trouble in the kitchen till Christmas came and I wanted to make "worms," or Almond Crescents as they were known. I scoured the tome under "cookies" and "almonds" and "Christmas" (I think I even looked ...

  • Great book

    This is my favorite cook book. My copy got lost when I moved, much to my dismay. This copy is in near perfect condition, and it’s an old enough edition to have all my favorite recipes. Winner! If you’re a new cook, The Joy of Cooking is for you, because it really explains cuts of meat, use of spices, basic how-tos and more. If you’re an experienced cook, it’s for you, too, with its many recipes for unique and tasty dishes.

  • The best must have first cookbook on the market.

    Every thing that can be said has been said about The Joy. I bought this for my Nephew because every good cook must have this in their arsenal of cookbooks. This was my first cookbook and is 35 years old. The ribbons are tattered & it is held together with duct tape in places. I believe this is the best first cookbook every made. Mine is so full of notes I could never replace it. I have over 50 cookbooks & this ones has more stains than any other, testifying to it's use.
