STORY

Irma S. Rombauer was a homemaker in St. Louis, Missouri, when she first privately published "Joy of Cooking" in 1931. Her encyclopedic book was picked up by a commercial printing house in 1936, and swiftly went on to become one of America’s most popular cookbooks, with eight editions and over 18 million copies sold. Now in a revised and updated edition, her iconic creation has been bound in embossed natural Vachetta leather for a sturdy, durable finish that makes it the ideal future hand-me-down. With gilded, hand-painted edges, smyth sewn for strength and longevity, and made in the USA, it’s a must-have for book lovers and chefs alike.
