About this title

Synopsis:

Joy of Cooking is the best-selling cookbook of all time.

These days, few things can be legitimately called "classic" or "timeless." Yet those words seem to perfectly describe Joy of Cooking, the indispensable cookbook that for more than eighty years has been bible and kitchen companion to renowned chefs and household cooks alike. Once again, the Joy of Cooking 2014 Day-to-Day Calendar--the fifteenth edition--borrows from this esteemed source and presents helpful daily kitchen and culinary hints, while its weekly undated pages provide a favorite recipe to try.

Review:

Since its first private printing in 1931, The Joy of Cooking has been teaching Americans how to cook. Craig Claiborne calls it "a masterpiece of clarity" and Julia Child says it's the one book she'd keep if she could only have one English title on the shelf. The nearly 5,000 recipes are handily organized by meal and ingredient, and no cooking instruction goes unexplained, so you can finally understand the difference between poaching and braising. The book includes nutritional information as well as an extremely helpful list of measures and equivalents. You'll find a version of every recipe your mother ever cooked, along with straightforward instructions for cooking more exotic specialties such as turtles and muskrats.
