"Joy of Cooking "author Rombauer (4)
I believe the answer is:
irma
'joy of cooking author rombauer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for irma that I've seen before include "The girl for Irish music award" , "woman" , "1963 film with Lemmon and Maclaine" , "- la Douce (1963 film)" , "Lady" .)
