The "Joy of Cooking" is our all time favorite cookbook, even before I met and we became close friends with Ethan Becker. We still have four generations of Joy on the shelf, handed down by my grandmother and mother. Now, after 3 years of effort, they finally have a "Joy of Cooking" app for iPad. We just downloaded it last night and it is everything promised and more!

Do they have a version that works on a standard Mac computer?

I am just the messenger, it says "iPad," but a quick Google search suggests that there are ways to accomplish that.

When it comes to cookbooks, there is "Joy", out in front, and then all the rest. is there a version for windows?

Doesn't appear to be, yet.
