The Joy of Cooking by Irma S. Rombauer. One of my very favorite cookbooks. ... Anyway, I purchased Story Sisters for myself because it was offered at 50% off from Barnes & Noble. Then I purchased the Joy of Cooking for a wedding shower gift, and His Majesty's Dragon and Throne of Jade for a fantasy fan who is graduating from High School. As I said earlier if I give ... I don't think they're interchangeable. The Joy of Cooking has an excellent table of substitutions and I'm sure other basic cookbooks do, too. I don't have any cookbooks that are specifically for seafood. I know The Joy of Cooking has a big seafood section, but I haven't tried any of the recipes. The Joy of Cooking is usually reliable for this sort of thing. ... read in the past year? Room with a View
9) If you could force everyone you tagged to read one book, what would it be? Joy of Cooking
10) Who deserves to win the next Nobel Prize for Literature? don't know
11) What book would you most like to see made into a movie? The Scarlet Pimpern ... Just finished reading the Joy of Pebble Stacking, never realized that it all falls down in the end!
#112, you can buy it by the yard,you know! It tastes better that way! The Chicago Manual of Style and the Joy of Cooking are the two best examples of why different editions are different books.
The 13th ed of the Chicago Manual includes an entire chapter on the typesetting process, including photographs of lead type and a "new" photolithography machine. This ... The practical side of me says I would need The Joy of Cooking -- it is still my go-to reference cookbook. The sentimental side would want one of my Junior League of Denver cookbooks -- favorite recipes and a reminder of home. Of those I would probably pick Creme de Colorado. >15
I have the 1973 paperback version of the 1964 Joy of Cooking edition, as well as the 1975 hardcover edition. They combine separately, and to me this seems silly. The differences are insufficient to me to combine them separately.
But there are lumpers and there are splitters.... The original entry of my Joy of Cooking has become somewhat 'detached' from the database since all the work was done. I can still see it, and see that I am one of more than 2,000 members who catalog it, but when I clicked on the author's name (Irma S. Rombauer) it doesn't show me that I "have 1 ... ... examples I can remember of the cocktail party test in action.
(Luckily for those of us who actually liked the New Joy of Cooking, How to Cook Everything came along shortly after and did virtually the same things without stepping on as many toes.)
Practically speaking, Portia's ... ... does this mostly just apply to the way LT matches your books up to others? In other words, if someone combined editions of Joy of Cooking or The Hobbit, that wouldn't change the data on my book in my library would it? I added a link that describes all of the editions of Joy of Cooking to the Irma S. Rombauer page (http://www.librarything.com/author/rombauerirmas). BTW, the touchstone for Irma S. Rombauer didn't work, probably because of the morass of author names associated with Joy of Cooking
Is there a ... I got The Joy of Cooking for Christmas, and bought A Caribbean Mystery by Agatha Christie today. I think it was my mother's Joy of Cooking; I now have three copies of this book. But the first things I learned to make were sweets, of course, especially the lemon meringue pie from the side of the lemon pudding box--I got really good at it. In home ec they taught us white sauce for tuna noodle ... I'm new to this group, but have a question because of a recent problem. I noticed that my two different editions of Joy of Cooking show up as 2 copies of the same book, even though they are very different, with significantly different recipes and different co-authors. (ISBN's 0672518317 (1975) & ... Joy of Cooking probably the first week or two after I took a leave of absence from college in 1976. ... that was a big thing. It was second hand given by the mother of a girl I babysat for. Then I moved out the US and bought Joy of Cooking. I have more recent editions of both Joy and Fannie, but still use the old ones. What will I do when they fanally give out? I really don't like the newer ... ... and another I can't remember, shame on me). They were lovely and inspiring, but kind of beyond me at the time. I also got a Joy of Cooking. The cookbook I have used the most though, I received for my wedding, Sunset's Easy Basics for Good Cooking. That really taught me how to cook.

And Jane Austin's Persuasion. And Joy of Cooking. And I, Claudius, and Catch-22. And about 20 more that I just cannot think of right now. Speaking of Joy of Cooking, I have 3 of the editions - a facsimile of the original edition that my husband got me for Christmas one year, a 1951 edition of my MiL's, and my own very ratty and heavily used 1970s version with the white cover. ... set until you brought it up, sungene, but now I'm intrigued!
Re: Ham loaf... I use a recipe from a recent edition of Joy of Cooking. Once I made it, there was no way I could go back to making regular meat loaf-- it's just so much better. It will probably continue to be out of fashion ... I use The Joy of Cooking a lot. I also love all the Southern Living Annual cookbooks. I use cookbooks from the Junior League of Denver all the time: Colorado Cache, Creme de Colorado and Colorado Collage are my favorites. ... have a good apple cobbler recipe (modified from How to Cook Everything: the Basics), and my baked apples (from Joy of Cooking) are 'requested' often enough when I do Thanksgiving with the non-immediate family.

Cold Mountain and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil were very good. I have an older edition of Joy of Cooking, and didn't bother to update it with this new version.
The Joy of Cooking includes every edition from the 1930's. I have 1973 and 1997. Separating the editions correctly is too much effort.
