![]() Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. This may not be my go-to reference for the kitchen, as I have other ones I appreciate much more, I cannot deny the solid explanations and breadth of this book. I do use it on a frequent basis, usually to cross-reference information in another book. As I said, the information in the book is solid and it has a great coverage of the basic techniques one needs; the place where I find it does not compare to others is certain recipes, particularly when going beyond the basics. Of course, everything I have tried is passable, some even good, I just don't think the recipes are necessarily great and are not the first place I look. I have and will continue to buy this book as a reference for new cooks, largely because my favourite is not always there and this "classic" is in every bookstore. Every kitchen needs a book like this and you cannot go wrong having this book on your shelf, but there are just references I like better.

This is the second cookbook I purchased when I moved into my first post-college apartment and I consider it my cooking bible. I know is been criticized because of the many changes that were made from the original version but I've learned so much about cooking and food and the history of certain dishes. I love my stained, dog eared copy. So far, my favorite two recipes have been pesto sauce and yellow cake. Each and every time I use them, I get rave reviews. I recommend this version as well as the new, updated one. This big, amazing book covers about everything one needs to know. Procedures, instructions, recipes, techniques, guides, food charts. This needs to be in every cooks library. Timeless information inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Since its original publication, Joy of Cooking has been the most authoritative cookbook in America - the one upon which millions of cooks have confidently relied for more than sixty-five years. This, the first revision in more than twenty years, is better than ever. Here's why:. Every chapter has been rethought with an emphasis on freshness, convenience, and health. All the recipes have been reconceived and tested with an eye to modern taste, and the cooking knowledge imparted with each subject enriched to the point where everyone from a beginning to an experienced cook will feel completely supported. The new Joy provides more thorough descriptions of ingredients, from the familiar to the most exotic. An all-new "RULES" section in many chapters gives essential cooking basics at a glance. Separate new chapters on grains, beans, and pasta include recipes for grits, polenta, pilafs, risottos, vegetarian chilis, bean casseroles, and make-ahead lasagnes. New baking and dessert chapters promise to enhance Joy of Cooking's reputation as a bible for bakers. Little Dishes showcases foods from around the world: hummus, baba ghanoush, bruschetta, tacos, empanadas, and fried wontons. All new drawings of techniques, ingredients, and equipment, integrated throughout an elegant new design, and over 300 more pages round out the new Joy. Among this book's other unique features: microwave instructions for preparing beans, grains, andvegetables; dozens of new recipes for people who are lactose intolerant and allergic to gluten; expanded ingredients chart now features calories, essential vitamins, and levels of fats and cholesterol. There are ideas for substitutions to lower fat in recipes and reduced-fat recipes in the baking sections. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

The recipes are good, but "standard fare." There is certainly value in having access to them. But the real value of the book is in the extensive supplemental matter. (
