EVEN AFTER DECADES of creating and sharing recipes, Martha Stewart still consults the classic cookbooks. Her favorite? One of the best-selling cookbooks of all time, Joy of Cooking.

During a keynote at Magic, PROJECT and Sourcing Las Vegas, a bi-annual tradeshow for fashion insiders and buyers, Stewart was asked which cookbook she would choose if it was the only cookbook she could have in her kitchen. The entrepreneur and lifestyle maven quickly responded with Joy of Cooking, Irma Rombauer’s 1931 classic, which Stewart says she still goes back to while cooking and researching. Sometimes called the “kitchen bible,” Joy of Cooking teaches techniques and full recipes with a healthy sprinkling of humor.
