Joy of Cooking has been an invaluable resource for home cooks for nearly a century.

Together, the couple tweaked thousands of classic recipes and developed more than 600 new recipes.

• 600 new recipes include Chana Masala, Beef Rendang, Megan's Seeded Olive Oil Granola and Smoked Pork Shoulder.
• Discover vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free recipes; how to use a diverse array of ingredients, from amaranth to za'atar; and how to economize time, money and ingredients to avoid waste.
• Features tips on using new techniques including low-temperature and sous-vide cooking, fermentation, and cooking with traditional and electric pressure cookers.
• Hardcover, 1,200 pages.
