Print

The book is good. Nothing wrong with it's content. However the print is too small to read for a senior guy like me. So it's hard for me to use it. Pls make the print bigger. Tks.

It's big and it has many recipes in it that I need

I cannot believe how big it is, and yes, it has a "chocolate cake" recipe; the same recipe that is missing from my btty crcker and my btter hmes and grdens. The only thing it is missing is a plantain bread recipe that I need. I cannot wait to try some of these other recipes in this marvelous 1,100+ page book. Thank youRead full review...

One of my favorites!

I have always used Joy of Cooking, but somehow lost my copy. The instructions , general for categories and specific for recipes are very helpful to actually learn to cook.

The Best CookBook Ever

I learned to cook from this book, I lost my trusty copy when we relocated. I'm not a joyful cook, this book helps to make my food look good.
