The book that taught America how to cook, now illustrated with glorious color photography ALL ABOUT CHICKEN A fresh and original way to put the classic advice of Joy of Cooking to work -- illustrated and designed in a beautiful and easy-to-use new book.
In 1931, a St. Louis widow named Irma von Starkloff Rombauer took her life savings and self-published a book called The Joy of Cooking. Her daughter, Marion, tested recipes and made the illustrations, and they sold their mother-daughter project from Irma's apartment.
Love this book! Tons of good advice, lots of yummy recipes covering most methods: roasting, frying, pan cooking, grilling, baking. Sadly, no microwave, slow cooker or pressure cooking included, so four stars instead of five.
