Joy of Cooking by Ethan Becker, Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker (2006, Hardcover, Anniversary)

I was given my 1st "Joy of Cooking" cookbook many, many years ago as a wedding shower gift and since them it has been the one basic book I always refer back to, even though I have over 600 other cookbooks. Needless to say the binding is coming apart and pages slipping loose, and some food stains, so I was delighted to see a new 75th anniversary edition of this fantastic book that should be given to every new cook. I saw only a few problems with the new cookbook.....the editing on some of the recipes left out ingredients in the final step or put in the wrong amounts. I hope they can correct this mistake because a teaspoon of baking powder is NOT the same as a tablespoon in baking and when do you add that broth? An experience cook will know the difference but a beginner may end up with a mess. I did notice a few favorite recipes are gone that were in the older copy I have so I will keep that one as a back up. If possible, find a 1970 or 80's copy of this cookbook to keep along with the newer version.
