![]() ![]() ![]() The index to my 1943 edition of "Joy" is 60 pages long. On the book cover and title page, their names follow those who built "Joy" into an American classic-Rombauer, her daughter, Marion Rombauer Becker, and Ethan Becker, Marion's son and John's father. The 2019 revision was produced by her great grandson, John Becker, and his wife, Megan Scott (above). Rombauer, who self-published that initial book, were alive now, this is the sort of book she would write, tailored to the needs and interests of contemporary home cooks. New immigration has changed the population, introducing dishes not known when the first "Joy" appeared in 1931. ![]() This massive book, loaded with more than 4,000 recipes, has gone heavily into ethnic foods to reflect the way Americans cook today. In the same place that I would find banana bread, pancakes, meatloaf and chicken noodle soup-the brand new edition of "Joy of Cooking." If I wanted a recipe for India's gobi Manchurian, Korean kimchi jjigae, Mexican goat birria or Thai massaman curry, where would I look? ![]()
