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. Other cookbooks of the time featured many complex recipes, while her style was simple and conversational. By providing an interesting and easy-to-read cookbook The Joy of Cooking became the main reference book for many mid-century American cooks and remains a source of inspiration today.
