  "Joy of Cooking" - Salon
Cooks need to refer to recipes twice: once before they shop for or measure out the ingredients they'll need, and again when the cooking process is actually underway.
Once again, "Joy" emphasizes the pleasure in the process as much as the result, and it's as much a pleasure to browse through as it is to use.
Still, "Joy of Cooking" retains that all-important voice that Rombauer and Becker pioneered: the friend who casually walks you through making something good for dinner from whatever happens to be on hand.

Cooking, she declared, didn't need to be an art or a science: It's a joy.
More important, Rombauer and Becker had the brilliant idea of concentrating on what people actually cook for their meals, and what they cook for pleasure -- the pleasure of entertaining guests or feeding a family, sometimes, but primarily the joy of cooking itself.

Joy is the one indispensable cookbook, a boon to the beginner, treasure for the experienced cook, the foundation of many a happy kitchen and many a happy home.
Now, as for the contents: Joy is not for the contemporary "beginning cook," since microwaves have ensured that today's beginners know nothing at all about cooking (indeed, judging from some of the comments here, they barely seem to handle the concepts of "reading" or "visualizing without pictures").
Joy of Cooking never should be the only cookbook in a household; for conveying a love of food and cooking that nourishes the soul and spurs a cook onward with joy and anticipation is part of the job of a great cookbook.

In their place are recipes designed to reflect contemporary food trends: the growing diversity of ethnic influences (lamb brochettes with North African spices), increased popularity of restaurant dining (spinach fettuccine with smoked salmon and asparagus), and greater concern for dietary health (brown rice and tofu salad with orange sesame dressing).
And for a novice cook like myself, there's comfort in the new Joy, knowing that I can crack the spine at random and try a recipe that sounds familiar and will probably not require traveling to a distant specialty shop or attending a workshop at Peter Kump's cooking school.
Regardless, I expect the new Joy will be for me what it has been for generations of beginning cooks before me: a handy reference, reliable recipe source, and point of departure once I'm ready for something more interesting.

I too have used this book constantly since a friend recommended it to make sense of American ingredients and methods to a European cook like me.It is particularly clear in explaining to the ignorant, just what, say, a muffin should turn out like, exactly how to make it and what flour to use in baking.
Written on the basis that "There's no such thing as a dumb question", The Joy of Cooking combines recipes with plain-English cooking instruction and detailed information about the food we prepare and eat.
I hope that this edition of "Joy of Cooking" stays in print because it is such a good book.
