This book is the complete book of cooking. The sixth edition was so different from the fifth that I keep both on my kitchen bookshelf. I've even used the earlier edition as a source for an article I wrote about poultry predators. It gives advice on how to cook wild game, like raccoons and opossums. Not information you find many places!
It is a great cookbook...if I was only allowed to have two cookbooks (in some horrible alternative reality) I would have to choose Joy of Cooking and The New Best Recipe Cookbook.
Evertime I find a used copy of this cookbook I buy it. It IS a classic! Just don't use the pancake recipe in this edition of the book...the editors goofed and put too much baking soda. And don't miss her brownie recipe...it's the best! And easy too.
Rombauer was a member of my church and she started this a church project. I drive by her old house all time...and I always tip my hat to her.
