The Joy of Cooking is one of the classic cookbooks. If you own a copy, it is likely discolored from age or from years of use, and it might have even been passed down to you from a previous generation. From the description of the book, “Since its original publication, ‘Joy of Cooking’ has been the most authoritative cookbook in America — the one upon which millions of cooks have confidently relied for more than sixty-five years. It’s the book your grandmother and mother probably learned to cook from, the book you gave your sister when she got married.”
That said, many people today turn to the internet for recipes. In addition, many people have dietary restrictions or try to avoid certain foods, which can rule out a number of classic recipes. That’s why we were happy to find this online tool from Fine Cooking that allows you to select the ingredients and to create your own recipes for classic dishes. Quickly and effortlessly, you can customize a dish and print out the new recipe. Irma Rombauer, watch out.
So, before you visit your farmers markets this weekend, click over to the Fine Cooking website and create your own recipe for meatloaf, Thai curry, braised short ribs, creamy vegetable soup, stir-fry, or frittata. Have a great weekend and enjoy!
