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.

 Joy of Cooking is a joy to have in the kitchen!Aug 30, 2010

A must have cookbookAug 27, 2010
This is the most useful and easy to use cookbook you could own. There aren't any big bright glossy pictures but every recipe provides clear instructions. There aren't any impossible-to-find ingredients like you can find in more modern cookbooks. Additionally the reference sections are priceless, they contain anything from how to peel tomatoes to how to set a formal dinner table. Full menus are also provided to help you plan a holiday! No matter how many cookbooks you own this is a must have.
A Joy for the BeginnerAug 18, 2010
This book was so easy to follow especially baking. As I am a first time baker, some of the recipes were easy to follow and I am able to whip up something easy. The carrot cake recipe was so good that even my boyfriend's family were impressed on how I managed to bake so fast. Every beginner should get this book as it is not intimidating and the ingredients are easy to find and nothing to obscure as I am living in a small town.
Joy of CookingJul 27, 2010
I love this cookbook! It was reccommended to me by an excellent cook, so I purchased it . It has been so helpful with so many recipes. I have been trying to make more healthy choices, and I love the recipes for cooking greens and other veggies. i have tried some of the other recipes as well, and there are many good tips. Many of the recipes are very simple, with just a few ingriedients. As I work 40 hours a week and still like to cook, these are especially attractive to me.
