Amazon.com
Have you ever felt a little besieged by recipes? Ever opened up the newspaper to the food page and found yet more recipes that may or may not taste like  anything you might want to have in your mouth? Ever longed for simplicity, for that one recipe you know is going to work time and time again? And not a recipe for some weird combination of foods that don't belong together on a plate, but for the kind of dishes you put on your table over and over again? Ever wondered what cookbook to send off to college with your child, the one who has been  eating you out of house and home but for whom cooking is pouring milk on cold cereal? Pam Anderson, executive editor of Cook's Illustrated, has your answer.

by Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker, Ethan Becker, la Maestro
Each generation of Joy -- there have been six revisions of the 1931 classic so far -- reflects the concerns, technology, and tastes of the audience it serves.  So, why trade in that beloved, dog-eared, and much-stained version that has graced your kitchen shelf for so many years?  Well, plenty has changed since the mid-70s, and the new Joy of Cooking is here to tell you all about it.  But you will have to decide for yourself if you want to throw out the old and embrace the new.  The reactions to it vary widely and are strong -- people seem to either love it or hate it.
