 Rating:  - The Best Comprehensive CookbookJoy of Cooking: 75th Anniversary Edition - 2006 has information about basic, everyday cooking: meat dishes, vegetable dishes, casseroles, pasta, sauces, soups, and everything you would expect from a cookbook. Joy, however, goes way beyond that. It includes explanations of why things work, such as why you use dry heat or moist heat, and what each one is; different types of pasta; substitutions and variations, etc. It gives you information that unlocks the mysteries that scare people away from the kitchen, such as: how to keep a souffle from falling, how to make pastry so it won't fall apart, how to keep your meat tender, etc. It also gives recipes and helpful hints on how to serve the elaborate dishes of advanced cooking in a well-laid-out way; it is easily understandable. It teaches about different cuts of meat and what each one is good for. I love ravioli, and I thought I could only get it at a grocery. When I could not find it there, I looked to The Joy of Cooking to see if it might be in there. Indeed it was! I could make my own pasta (another mystery solved!) and fill it with my own choice of three fillings given in the book. (My favorite was 3-cheese filling.) The Joy of Cooking has met and exceeded all my expectations of a cookbook from plain, humble white sauce, to soups, to casseroles and more. May you fall in love with your edition, whichever one it may be. Rating: - Joy of CookingRecently I had a friend for dinner and prepared one of the recipes from this wonderful cookbook, Joy of Cooking. We all loved it and she asked for the recipe since she knew her children, too, would enjoy it. Instead of writing out the recipe, I decided to purchase the book as a gift for her. I purchased my copy many years ago, and it is the one cookbook I go to whenever I have a question about food. I love the "About..." sections throughout the book. I have learned so much. I also go to this cookbook when I'm having company, as I know I can rely on the recipes to be a success. Rating: - The Joy of cookingA replacement for my worn out soft cover version. With a lot more information. Super Rating:  - Too Inaccessible, Better Homes and Gardens a Better ChoiceEvery time I open this book I feel like I'm reading some fat religious text with tiny print. It may have very good advice but i could never get through the thing, or event get started. If you are looking for a basic, all purpose cook book that is easily accessible, get the Better Homes and Gardens cook book. It clearly explains techniques and recipes in an easily navigated format with plenty of pictures. I read it cover to cover with a great improvement in my cooking ability as a teenager. Now I have a little more experience, I find it a handy reference. Joy of cooking is not as beginner friendly and is less clearly organized. It maybe a standard, but not intuitive enough for me.
