In 1931, Irma Rombauer self-published her personal collection of recipes and cooking techniques. Irma sensed that she was not alone in her need for a no-nonsense, practical resource in the kitchen. The result became the most authoritative cookbook in America. By providing an interesting and easy to read cookbook, The Joy of Cooking became the main reference book for many mid-century cooks and remains a source of inspiration today.
