  • Irma Rombauer wrote and published the first "Joy of Cooking" in 1931. Updating "Joy" has been a family tradition, passed down through the generations. Serena Altschul talks with Irma's great-grandson, John Becker, who is co-author, along with wife Megan Scott, of the latest edition of one of the most successful cookbooks ever published.

    I still see my mother's flour spattered copy of The Joy of Cooking open while she was cooking. She said, "If you can read, you can cook."

    I was gifted a copy at my bridal shower in 1968 and have made (among other recipes) the vanilla cream caramels every Christmas since then. My copy is pretty beaten up, and I can make the caramels by memory, but just having the book nearby and open to page 732, makes it a tradition in and of itself.

    I have the 1975 edition and it is the most thorough and best cookbook I have ever had. I have been told by women that the later editions are not as good as the earlier ones, and have lost what made this cookbook successful. But after watching this video, it seems that is a matter of opinion, and for younger people, they may not want to know all the detail of classic cooking, based on classic French cooking, such as how to prepare a fresh rabbit by starting with a live one, for example. I found those details in the book fascinating and made the book extremely comprehensive, though I personally did not use that part. I can see where some people would however, if they live in a rural area, have a hunter in their family, or raise their own stock, where more people are finding ways of doing that now, such as keeping chickens has made a resurgence.

    When I moved out on my own years ago, my mother gave me my own copy of Joy of Cooking. It’s the cookbook I keep going back to over and over again. Not only for the recipes, but the info at the beginning of each section.

    When I was 12 years old, I read the 2011 version of joy of cooking in my school library. I was intrigued by the fact that there was so much history steeped in the introduction. As someone who is a foodie and a cook and a fanatic for history, I have vowed to collect every single edition new and old since then. You can tell just how much American cuisine has changed by looking at the contents.

    About 40 years ago on a visit with my aunt & uncle in Florida, my Aunt Sally sent me home with a grocery bag full of calamondins from their small citrus grove. I'd never heard of calamondins before and had no idea what to do with them. They looked like miniature tangerines and tasted very tart like kumquats.
    When I got back home I checked my Joy of Cooking (1964 edition) on the chance that there might be information on calamondins. Not only was there information but there was also a recipe for calamondin preserves. I dove in. It took all day to prep the fruit and cook the preserves, but the effort was well worth it. Twelve delicious jars of calamondin preserves.
    I should mention that my 1964 edition has "the squirrel illustration" that collectors of the Joy prize so much.

    I currently have a 1950's version, a 1970's version, and a 1990's version. Mostly, I prefer the 1970's (great Christmas cookies), but the 1990's caponata recipe is a must have. Just saying.

      I received my Joy of Cooking in 1972 as a birthday gift during the time I had my first job and apartment. Although I have bought a few subsequent revisions of the Joy and enjoy reading them, in the kitchen I always rely on my first copy.

      @@veeyesforvengeance4056 After I got my 1964 edition of The Joy as a birthday gift in 1972, I bought my mother a copy of that same edition because I was really enjoying mine. For some reason, she never really used it that much in the kitchen but she did enjoy reading it. I think it was because she was accustomed to using cookbooks that had lots of photos to go along with the recipes. She had an entire set of the early Family Circle Encyclopedia of Cooking, when it was sold one volume at a time in grocery stores. My mother also enjoyed collecting community cookbooks compiled and sold by local organizations around the country. My favorite of those is "Talk About Good" by the Service League of Lafayette, Louisiana.

    Yes, that book was part of my cooking library. It was back when we used measurements like pounds, cups, tablespoons, ounces, and not this trendy neurotic grams and millilitres which suddenly caused a surge in food scale purchases.
