Irma Rombauer was a remarkable lady. Imagine! Writing and publishing a cookbook in the Depression when she wasn't known for her stellar culinary skills.
Here's a nice quotation I found in her Wikipedia profile that sums up the lady she was.
"The best thing about The Joy of Cooking, however, is the voice of its author, Irma Rombauer.
