Somwhere in your house, and probably your mother's, and probably your neighbor's, there is a Joy of Cooking.

The classic cookbook is the most handed down cookbook in American kitchens,
according to AbeBooks.com, a resource for old and out-of-print books. The site surveyed 504 customers who own a hand-me-down cookbook about the origins of their trusty tomes.

Around the holidays, we asked co-workers to reflect on their favorite cookbooks. Turns out, a good handful of our picks were published decades ago; three are on the list below (1, 4 and 5).
