The 2019 edition of the iconic Joy of Cooking is fully updated with 600 new, exciting, and fresh recipes and expertly researched reference material. It will teach both seasoned cooks and those just learning their way around the kitchen how to love cooking and to cook well--on their own terms. One of the 150 most important and influential books of the twentieth century (The New York Public Library),
The Joy of Cooking has taught tens of millions of people to cook. Since 1931, the Rombauer-Becker family has revised and updated their bestselling cookbook--a book Julia Child called the "fundamental resource for any American cook." Eighty-eight years after Irma Rombauer self-published the first edition, her great-grandson, John Becker, and his wife Megan Scott, have translated this comprehensive culinary resource for a new generation of home cooks, bringing the latest version of
Joy into the future while drawing on the best of its storied past.
In the 2019 edition of
Joy, readers will find many beloved recipes from previous editions retested and updated, as well as over 600 new recipes geared to modern tastes and the way we cook today.

Joy has dishes for every occasion, whim, and skill level. Each chapter has been thoughtfully reconsidered and improved upon, always with an eye to what has made
