"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.)"
"My major complaint with the "All New" version of The Joy of Cooking, is that there are many recipes that give microwave-only instructions. I am an old-fashioned girl, I don't own a microwave and even if I did, I prefer slow-cooking, no short-cut, real food. This version doesn't even offer an alternative recipe for those without a microwave in some cases. I went out and bought the original Joy of Cooking and have been much happier with that one. This one does have a few newer recipes that the old one doesn't, so I keep it around for those."
"This is not a cookbook. This is a kitchen bible. Not only does it have a version of about every single recipe you could ever think of--it also has cocktail recipes, information on dried and fresh ingredients, possible menus (e.g., what to take on a picnic), wines, entertaining... EVERYTHING. I am a beginner, so many recipes are out of my league, but this book explains how to do everything, so there isn't anything I can't at least try."
