My latest is the 2002 version, but I started with my own in 1987. I wish they would publish it as an e-book - but so far I don't see that it is available. :-(<br />One of my favorite recipes is the pate sucre, or pie crust. I Woolf love to see you try the apple pie recipe for the Thanksgiving holiday. Ive posted a few times today, I like to make things in parts. Over several days. I would recommend to make the crust dough the day before and put it in the freezer. taste the dough, too to be sure that it is the right amount of salty sweet for your taste. <br />For the lattice top I like to position it out on a cookie sheet put it in the freezer<br /> until it's solid and then place it on top of the pie. <br />I've been making cakes and pies from TJOC for a while now. It can be challenging. I hope you'll give it a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683629829321293491.post-298343541011991312011-03-02T08:29:03.654-05:002011-03-02T08:29:03.654-05:00Hi,

What an undertaking!<br /><br />As you know I review cookbooks for a newspaper column. My readers vote on which cookbooks and recipes I feature. They selected "The Joy of Cooking!" for my March 16th column. The vote is open right now (until March 6th, 2011)for the top recipes from JOC from a list of 10 found on my fb chef page and blog. <br />I would love it if your readers would vote for their favorite, but I would love it even more if you would vote for one and make a comment on my chef page link <br />http://www.facebook.com/pages/Carol-Porter/187387317960673#!/note.php?note_id=190430104323061&id=187387317960673<br /><br />And by the way, have you cooked any of the 10 that are on the voting list?<br />I would like to write a blog entry on you. <br /><br />Also do you have a twitter account? What are your favorite hashtags if you do?<br /><br />My blog is http://cookbookfarm.blogspot.com/Carol Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14104655494233101670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683629829321293491.post-61245395625845668462010-04-16T11:41:42.243-04:002010-04-16T11:41:42.243-04:00I am curious if anyone else has noticed that the 7...I am curious if anyone else has noticed that the 75th anniversary edition has some striking differences to the original New Joy of Cooking , where they first brought in the professional chefs . I bought that one for my dad when I was pretty young and he never picked it up . I got bored started reading it and that was the beginning of the end . My family used that book till it fell apart . I want a new one .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474602808166506068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683629829321293491.post-17284921720622284622009-06-19T13:11:05.204-04:002009-06-19T13:11:05.204-04:00I love your blog!

I'm trying to get it done before the publish a "newer" edition (I'm estimating in 2012 or so).<BR/><BR/>What edition did you buy?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796087456990185603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683629829321293491.post-6949091780371249022009-04-09T14:43:00.000-04:002009-04-09T14:43:00.000-04:00I don't know if this is a frequently asked questio...I don't know if this is a frequently asked question, but what version do you use? I have heard this cookbook recommended before and so I bought one at a thrift store hoping it would be more from scratch as it was an older version. But I ended up hating this copy!!La Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851028133906272801noreply@blogger.com
