Joy of Cooking

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

In the nearly 90 years since Irma S. Rombauer self-published the first 3,000 copies of Joy of Cooking in 1931, it has become the kitchen bible, with more than 20 million copies in print. The new 2019 edition of Joy of Cooking (Scribner) has been thoroughly revised and expanded by Irma's great-grandson John Becker and his wife, Megan Scott. Becker and Scott developed more than 600 new recipes for this edition, tested and tweaked thousands of classic recipes, and updated every section of every chapter to reflect the latest ingredients and techniques available to today's home cooks.
