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.
