Out of these unlikely circumstances was born the most authoritative cookbook in America, the book your grandmother and mother probably learned to cook with. To date it has sold more than 15 million copies.This is a perfect facsimile of that original 1931 edition -- your chance to see where it all began. These pages amply reveal why "The Joy of Cooking" has become a legacy of learning and pleasure for generations of users.
