I have the Encyclopedias too! They are a fabulous reference source for all nature of things. I find them really approachable, more than some versions of Joy of Cooking. (though I am a die-hard Joy of Cooking gift giver)

I grew up with my mom’s Meta Givens Encyclopedia of Cooking, I still use them !!
I then bought my daughter a set when she got married, thru Kitchen Arts & Letters, in New York City.
The recipes are timeless !

You can sometimes find them on Alibris or eBay. It has been out of print for a long, long time.
