5.0 out of 5 stars The American Mrs Beeton, 26 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Joy of Cooking (Hardcover)
I too have used this book constantly since a friend recommended it to make sense of American ingredients and methods to a European cook like me.It is particularly clear in explaining to the ignorant, just what, say, a muffin should turn out like, exactly how to make it and what flour to use in baking. It is as dog-eared as my old Mrs Beeton of the early sixties and much more relevant nowadays.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the beginner & helpful for the experienced!, 5 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Joy of Cooking (Hardcover)
I have enjoyed this book for several years, have three daughters to whom I have given the book. I highly recommend it to anyone from the burnt pot cooker to the gourmets delight. There is a wealth of knowledge on every page. Truely the greatest book for every kitchen.

3.0 out of 5 stars You're either a Fannie Farmer person or a Joy of Cooking per, 5 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Joy of Cooking (Hardcover)
I purchased the 1975 edition of this book after hearing about it for years. Although it is a good secondary reference, it does not meet my expectations for a primary reference. I do not go here to review techniques or develop a general approach to a problem. Too many recipes use pre-packaged ingredients and seem overly fussy. My preference is for the simple and straightforward approach that will treat good ingredients (ie whatever looks best at the farmer's market) as simply as possible to get the best out of them. In my opinion, Marion Cunningham's Fannie Farmer Cookbook, just about anything by James Beard and Christopher Kimball's Yellow Farmhouse Cookbook and The Cook's Bible are better books.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Joy of Cooking is a brillant cookbook.
The Joy of Cooking should be the first cookbook of any beginning cook. I need to buy another copy as my first is so worn after 12 years of solid cooking. Read more
