Joy of Cooking: Turkey Carving

Seventy-five years ago, a St. Louis widow named Irma Rombauer took her life savings and self-published a book called The Joy of Cooking. Her daughter Marion tested recipes and made the illustrations, and they sold their mother-daughter project from Irma's apartment. Today, nine revisions later, the Joy of Cooking -- selected by The New York Public Library as one of the 150 most important and influential books of the twentieth century -- has taught tens of millions of people to cook, helped feed and delight millions beyond that, answered countless kitchen and food questions, and averted many a cooking crisis.

I'm a cook Apprentice in Austria and have to carve turkeys for 180 Americans.. :) Kinda nervous, cause i never did it...Don't want to "ruin" their dinner...The Thanksgiving Turkey is a pretty important thing in America, isn't it?

This video helped a lot!!!

I grew up in St. Louis and didn't know anyone who didn't have "Joy of Cooking." No wonder we dined so well in my hometown. Irma sort of hovered over our culinary lives. I have video of her on T.V., a little lady, dressed as St. Louis ladies dressed, direct and honest but with a twinkle. She had achieved immortality already and she enjoyed it.
