The Joy of Cooking –75th Anniversary Edition

I received my first copy of this classic as a wedding shower gift when I was just learning to cook. My second and third copies were inherited from my mother and mother-in-law, but their conditions weren’t so good—with well-worn dog-eared pages, stains and cracked and stringy bindings proving just how valuable they had been to their original owners. I am now into my fourth copy of this 75-year old collection of recipes and guide to American culinary history. It’s a quick one to pull down from the shelf for a quick technique or ingredient question—I make pancakes, piecrust and biscuits from this book and have for years. If you are just adding this to your kitchen library, buy the 75th anniversary edition—it has been updated with new sections written with modern kitchens and tastes in mind. A must-have book for every home cook’s bookshelf.
