Joy of Cooking

Irma S. Rombauer

This book has been around a long time.  The Library has the 2019 version available.  Our Children’s Services Supervisor says,  “This was one of the first cookbooks I looked at when I got married. I wasn't much of a cook. I figured I needed to educate myself a little. It was a big book and covered a wide range of foods. There was also practical information about measurements and cooking utensils. I wasn't very adventurous back then but Joy of Cooking helped demystify a lot of things.”

This cookbook is absolutely divine! It includes fabulous recipes for every meal and the sandwich selection is a favorite. Beautifully photographed, this book shares with food lovers, fun easy to create meals with the most savory ingredients. Our Office Services Manager says, “For a chill Saturday lunch, changing up the traditional grilled cheese to the JALAPENO PARMESAN CRUSTED GRILLED CHEESE is a must.”

Fabio's Italian Kitchen

Fabio Viviani

Th Pesto Gnocchi on page 95 is DELICIOUS! Our Technical Services Supervisor says, “For a quicker version, you can use store-bought refrigerated gnocchi (sorry, Fabio!), but Fabio's homemade potato-ricotta gnocchi (recipe, p. 14) looks scrumptious!”
