I will take mega bets that what you want is The Joy of Cooking by Irma Rombauer, either in the original 1931 edition or the 1943/46 edition.
BUT there is a 2006 edition that has more about ingredients, measures, etc. and more about types of food, especially animals. Early editions leaned heavily animals came from the farm. The latest edition tells about animals we can get today. Named contributors are: original author, daughter, grandson. It is:
Joy of Cooking: Joy of Cooking. by Ethan Becker, Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker. Scribner | October 31, 2006 | Hardcover
There is a nice write up at: Chapters.Indigo book company
There is a FAMILY run website that shows all this and more: http://www.thejoykitchen.com/all-about-joy/all-about-joy
Go visit a bookstore and you'll see what I mean and why this is one of the world's best selling books.
