JOC - 1975 Hardcover – Import, 1 May 1985

This is your first and last cook book you will never need. From absolute beginner to professional chef, this is an amazing resource to have at your finger tips.

The book was, as stated, in very good condition and a perfect replacement for my very old one!!

If you're looking into this book then, chances are, you don't need any opinions as to the quality of its content!That being said, let me say this: It is, to my knowledge, one of the best home-cooking books still out there! Maybe it's tradition speaking: cooking with my grandma and my mother and the house filled with scrumptious odors of cookies and cakes and oveny-treats and whatnot... Maybe it's just that. Maybe it's the fact that my grandma had this book, my mom has this book, my aunts have this book, my mom's friends have this book... now I have it as well.The instructions continue being as good as they come. Once you get the hang of things, they make everything sound very easy and you quickly find out that, really, things are not that hard. Where stuff gets a little tricky, you have graphics! The old editions had a few and now there are many more and, say, "modernized" graphics. All-in-all, just try out recipes and you'll find that familiar, traditional odor filling your home in no time.My book came to my just before Christmas with red, fall tree leafs as bookmarks throughout. Yes, I bought this one used. I love used books. Some out there might not but I do, a lot. Mine came in a very good condition. Not even the French postal service was able to ruin this one for me! It seems indestructible. Whoever used it before, used it with much care. It seems it was a German lady, judging from the name very prettily noted inside the flyleaf. And I even tried out some of the recipes she had marked with such nice red bookmarks! She had good taste, I must say.Anyway, this is a highly recommended book! New, used, old edition, modern edition, whatever. I recommend it, eyes closed; and I would even accept any invitation to dine at ANYONE'S home who has prepared dinner right out of this book! (So long as they're not serial poisoners!) What else can I say that hasn't been said many times over?Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à me demander.J'espère que mon commentaire vous aura été utile.

E'un libro completo. Preciso, ricco di ogni tipo di ricetta, anche orientali e giapponesi. Se comprendete l'america english, è meglio di tanti ricettari che ho avuto modo di usare.

Es un libro de cocina muy denso con recetas que nosotros en Europa no conocemos, o casi, pero cuya base es europea y es parte de nuestra historia trasladada a América.
