The 1997 Joy of Cooking
NancyM from Hudson Valley, NY
There has been quite a lot of bad press about this particular edition of Joy of Cooking. Recipe selection mostly. But that aside, the recipes that are in this edition are well-written and they work. The extra descriptions on how to do things in the kitchen exactly are extremely helpful. With all the new encyclopedic cookbooks being published, this is still one of the first I reach for when I don't know how to do something or where to look for a recipe. It rarely disappoints.
