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. \u003ci\u003eJoy\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePrivately printed in 1931, \u003ci\u003eJoy\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eJoy\u003c\/i\u003e in many ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now over forty, \u003ci\u003eJoy\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eHeat, \u003c\/i\u003e which gives you many hints on maintaining the nutrients in the food you are cooking, and \u003ci\u003eKnow Your Ingredients, \u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Divided into three parts, \u003ci\u003eFoods We Eat, Foods We Heat\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFoods We Keep, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eJoy\u003c\/i\u003e now contains more than 4500 recipes, many hundreds of them new to this edition--the first full revision in twelve years.

All the classic terms you find on menus, such as Provencale, bonne femme, meuni re 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 \u003ci\u003esimmering, blanching, roasting\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ebraising\u003c\/i\u003e have on your efforts.
