What Irma Rombauer started in 1931, when she published the first version of \u003ci\u003eJoy of Cooking,\u003c\/i\u003e went on to become the most beloved cookbook of all time - a nostalgic favorite that has sold millions of copies throughout its lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the course of 80 years, there have been eight revisions of her 800-page cooking bible. This is the 1967 printing of the 1964 edition, the first version published after Irma died in 1962. It is co-authored by her daughter, Marion, and revised by Marion and her husband, John.  Retaining all of Irma's writing, it was also enhanced by Marion and John, who included new fish dishes and recipes for new favorite foods like Bolognaise sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things stand out most about this particular edition and this particular book. First, it's the limited edition Canadian printing of Joy by McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart, based in Toronto. This edition is not easy to find in the US, at least, so it's fun to include it in the shop, where we've also hosted a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopinthevintagekitchen.com\/products\/vintage-1970s-uk-edition-joy-of-cooking-irma-romabuer-and-marion-rombauer-becker-circa-1974?_pos=7\u0026amp;_sid=a32f440e9\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUK edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and all the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopinthevintagekitchen.com\/search?q=irma+rombauer\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmerican editions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e that remain so beloved.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, there was quite a bit of publishing trouble surrounding this edition. The first pass-through was published before Marion gave final approval, so several reprints were needed to set Marion and Irma's words right. This 1967 printing has eradicated the typos from previous versions that Marion doggedly wanted to correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause there is so much memory and nostalgia wrapped up in Irma Rombauer and her recipes, it is fun to collect the different editions that spark special meaning to you and your culinary adventures. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is in fantastic condition. The dust jacket is wrapped in a protective mylar covering and the interior coverboards and pages look practically brand-new. So many vintage \u003ci\u003eJoys \u003c\/i\u003ehave spotted and chipped jackets (or no jacket at all) and contain cooking notes and stains in their interior pages - all hallmarks of enthusiastic kitcheners and their love of Irma’s recipes. But with the exception of a couple of cooking spots in the salad dressing chapter, everything about this book says it was once part of the kitchen of a careful cook. That being said, don't be intimidated, go ahead and make some notes, splatter some pages, Irma won't mind. This one’s a storyteller waiting for some culinary adventures.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook for other \u003ci\u003eJoy of Cooking \u003c\/i\u003eeditions \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopinthevintagekitchen.com\/search?q=joy+of+cooking+rombauer\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehere,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e along with more info about Irma Rombauer \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"irma-rombauer-bio-joy-of-cooking\" href=\"https:\/\/inthevintagekitchen.com\/2018\/10\/30\/from-tragedy-to-triumph-the-monumental-mid-life-of-irma-s-rombauer\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere. \u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e{SPECIAL FEATURES}\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1967 Limited Edition by McClelland and Stewart Toronto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e849 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew recipes added to this version include Bolognese Sauce, Fish Quenelles, Assorted Pates, Stuffed Grape Leaves, and Baked Kasha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout by Ginnie Hofmann and Beverly Warner (and includes the famous how to skin a squirrel illustration!)\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes two red ribbon page markers and original dust jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e{CONDITION}\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn absolutely gorgeous vintage condition, this cookbook looks practically brand new.
