This week I’ll be digging around my cookbook shelves to unearth hidden tips from older and vintage cookbooks. When doing my research, I spent the most time with my 1975 edition of The Joy of Cooking which has always been a favorite. This deep dive really reminded me just how relevant (and even surprisingly hip) The Joy still is. Here are five ways this classic book will still rock your kitchen.

Despite the avalanche of cookbooks dumped on us every year, you will still find the Joy of Cooking on the top of many people’s most used, most loved cookbook lists. While the Betty Crocker and Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks have perhaps sold more copies, it’s Joy that’s the most beloved, handed down from generation to generation. I myself have three versions on my book shelf (1963, 1975, and the controversial 1997 editions.) How about you?
