About This Item
In 1931, Irma Rombauer self-published her personal collection of recipes and cooking techniques. Irma sensed that she was not alone in her need for a no-nonsense, practical resource in the kitchen. The result became the most authoritative cookbook in America. Other cookbooks of the time featured many complex recipes, while her style was simple and conversational. By providing an interesting and easy to read cookbook The Joy of Cooking became the main reference book for many mid-century American cooks and remains a source of inspiration today.
Synopsis
Written by Irma Starkloff Rombauer, The Joy of Cooking was first tested and illustrated by her daughter, Marion Rombauer Becker. Subsequently it was revised and enlarged through Marion?s efforts and those of her architect husband John Becker. Their sons?Ethan, with his Cordon Bleu and camping experiences, and Mark, with his interest in natural foods?have reinforced Joy in many ways.
