"This is an excellent cookbook. As my eyesight is not what it once was, I wish that the print were larger; on the other hand, this book is now 1000 pages long. I'd rather settle for smaller print and a less heavy book!
And the length is one of the pluses of this book. Other cookbooks that I have run a few hundred pages and have larger print and pictures. The end result? Far fewer recipes! I am interested in a rich collection of recipes--not something that is easy to read and short on content.
And this work has helped me out in the kitchen. For instance, its recipe for fried rice is so much better than recipes from two other comprehensive cookbooks that I use. Another example: the section on poultry provides a great deal of basic generic information, whether on roasting chicken or broiling chicken. . . . In addition, the recipes are pretty easy to understand and to carry out. Some otherwise interesting cookbooks strain for effect and make it much harder for an amateur chef to succeed.
Appendices at the end are also helpful. The section on "Cooking Methods" explains clearly how to blacken (Cajun style) food (page 1053), how to cook in ashes (page 1056), and so on. Another Appendix on "Know Your Ingredients," too, is helpful. On page 1066, one learns how to make wasabi from raw ingredients.
As noted, I have tried many different cookbooks over time. This is in the top tier, from my experience, because of the background information, the raw number of recipes (despite small print!!), and the straightforward preparation suggestions.
All in all, in the top tier among general cookbooks."
"My parents bought me my first copy of Joy in 1998. Somewhere along the line I broke its back so I recently purchased a new copy. I expect that tells you how much I value this cookbook. It is far from the only cookbook in our home, but it gets used more than any other. I have seen other editions and while they have their following, I prefer this one. From Chicken Fried Steak to Crispy Roast Duck to something called 'vegetables', 1997 Joy has what you need."
"It's hard to place this book soundly on the "read" shelf since I'm constantly working through it, but I've fallen for this book. I've improved radically in the kitchen ever since I started to trust the sometimes-vague-but-always-clear-enough instructions of this wonderful classic.
The recipes in here are pretty uniformly bland or basic, so be prepared to get creative, but at least you'll have a working knowledge of every culinary topic you can think of!"
"This is one of the cookbooks I turn to for answers to basic (and not so basic) cooking questions. It has a very handy conversions section and the best recipe for brownies that I've ever tasted. In spite of having many other cookbooks on our shelves, it is to "Joy" that I turn for chicken stock, cranberry sauce and tartare sauce recipes.
There is also a list of standard cake pan sizes saying how many square inches each contains, making it easy to calculate which pans to use when different shapes are wanted. (I invariably make cakes in square pans rather than round ones.)
There is only one thing really wrong with this hardcover 1975 edition: The book was bound terribly. The spine broke very early on and the book is now held together with what amounts to several rolls of bookbinding tape, spaced throughout the book.
(Note about why this is on the bread-books shelf: While it is not my primary source for bread baking, I do still refer to it for the rye sourdough recipe.)"
