It has been in millions of kitchens helping chefs, working mothers and fathers and homemakers bake, fry, cook, steam, cure and barbeque their food for decades. This is the most enduring, most versatile cookbook, nutrition book, general knowledge of food book that has ever been written. If you're entertaining - use this cookbook.

"The Joy of Cooking was given to me when I turned 18 and it has been the only cookbook I rely on. I look up baking times and cooking principles constantly in this incredible resource. This is the cooking bible for me. I've given it to my daughters on their 18th birthdays and they treasure it because they know how helpful it has been to me over the years and they know exactly what place they're going to put in their kitchens! Thanks Joy of Cooking authors!!!
