The Joy Of Cooking5
This book is a must have for just about everybody, whether you are an experienced cook, or a beginner, or a person who is looking to vary the “same old same old” dishes on which we all can get “stuck.”

This book was advertised as “USED” and arrived quickly, well packaged and protected. I cannot tell the difference
in this particular copy from one that is BRAND NEW.

Speedy delivery to the Seattle area, considering we are seemingly at “the other end of the world.” A great seller, who delivers what he advertises.

The “Gold Standard” In Cookbooks! Highly Recommended!5
The “Gold Standard” In Cookbooks! Highly Recommended!

We own several versions of “The Joy of Cooking”, all of which are well broken in and show signs of heavy usage in our kitchen. My wife has a huge collection of cookbooks, but this is the most turned to. As my middle daughter is getting ready to head out to collage, we are getting her a copy of this excellent cookbook to take with her (mostly so she doesn’t take ours :-)

The 4,500 recipes are great, and several have been updated in this new edition. The book does more than just present step-by-step instructions, it actually has detailed explanations for why things are done a certain way and how to get the best results using your ingredients.

One of our favorites is the strudel recipe. Be sure to check it out.

Highly recommended! You might also like Mennonite Community Cookbook: Favorite Family Recipes, it is also fantastic!

Joy of Cooking, 75th anniversary5
I’ve had three or four Joys of Cooking before this one, all were stained,
written on, dogeared before I bought another one. I have bought many for gifts.
I really like this edition best of all— why? Because of the index.

Cookbooks have always been notoriuosly difficult to index, according to my niece, the indexer.

In fact I enjoy reading the index, actually.

Product Description

When the last edition of the Joy of Cooking appeared in 1997, it was a chef-centric, rarified global ingredient kind of moment. And now, 1997 seems very far away. This country is in an economically wobbly, terror-filled time where Americans have kept close to home both literally and figuratively. The 75th Anniversary Edition of the Joy of Cooking — as it has always done — speaks to the time it is published into. This Joy has come full circle from 1997 with a huge emphasis on American home cooking. We are not chasing the authentic Oaxacan enchilada here — we have cheese, chicken, and beef. We have returned the casserole; included slow cooker recipes; restored chapters on jams, jellies, pickles, ice cream, and drinks. There is an eye to economy with expanded discussions on how to get the best out of tougher cuts of meat; the art of leftovers; and keeping household stock. With 500 completely new recipes and hundreds of recipes long edited out of previous editions, this is a brand-new, best-loved Joy of Cooking that rejoices in the cooking of the country that made it the bestselling cookbook of all time — America.
