The Joy of Cooking is one of the world's most-published cookbooks, having been in print continuously since 1936. It was privately published in 1931 by Irma Rombauer, a homemaker and widow in Saint Louis, Missouri. It was illustrated by her daughter Marion Rombauer, an art teacher at local private school John Burroughs School. The Rombauers self-published early editions of the book; it was picked up by a commercial printing house, the Bobbs-Merrill Company, in 1936.
