could this be true....

is this really the Joy Of Cooking circa 1953? i found a copy and it is worn and beautiful. this is one of the must have cook books that i did not have and there it was on a little bookshelf in a little antique store in my own little town. it makes me wonder who owned it? what did they make? what was their favorite receipe? what occasions did they use it for? so many questions and so many great recepies. i will tackle it with love and care - and who knows, i might just try the "squirrel"..heee...heeee - calm down i'm just kidding .

Maria, this is awesome!!!
I don't know the book, but it seems really worthwhile!
Maybe you can replace the squirrel with a rabbit! :)

The Joy of Cooking is one of the United States' most-published cookbooks, ever, and has been in print continuously since 1936 and with more than 18 million copies sold. Even yours isn´t a first edition it will sharpen skills and help you produce amazing dishes to the thrill of your tastebuds. Now living in South America, I am using "Joy" to make Marmelades of orange, grapefruit and limes (no lemons where I live). Keep cooking!
