Description
The Joy of Cooking is more than a cookbook; it's an American culinary institution. Irma S. Rombauer’s timeless recipes have guided generations of home cooks for over a century. Today, her legacy lives on through her great-grandson, John Becker, and his wife, Megan Scott. Based in Portland, Oregon, they are the 4th generation stewards of this beloved classic, having authored its latest edition. As they create the next chapter of the Joy of Cooking and launch the Joy of Cooking Podcast, the Rombauer family continues to inspire and nourish with every conversation. Each week, John & Megan set the table with their co-host and friend Shannon Larson and their revolving guest of home cooks, cookbook authors, food entrepreneurs, and chefs- to discuss cherished & reviled Joy recipes, kitchen victories & miseries, and most importantly, what they are all cooking and eating.
