Betty Crocker Cookbook: Everything You Need to Know to Cook Today Books Reviews

The extended family was hovering with question marks in their eyes.  You could feel the tension in the kitchen.  Was she going to be able to make really good gravy to go with the Thanksgiving turkey and mashed potatoes?  But then they watched as I reached for the Betty Crocker Cookbook - and the tension dissolved in seconds.  They knew a true and trusted friend was to the rescue.

I had thought that at age 69 I would have all the cooking skills I needed under control.  But what I know now is not to fool around trying to do follow unconventional recipes when all I need to do is follow the instructions...

The Betty Crocker cookbook was the first cookbook I used as a child.  It is also the cookbook I can't live without.  This book has recipes for any occasion and many recipes for foods you love to eat but never thought to try to cook yourself.  It gives you many ideas for variations as well as ways to lower the fat and calorie count.

From appetizers to desserts, New Year's to Christmas, there's a recipe for everything.  I enjoy this book because the recipes are fairly basic and easy for someone who's not a gourmet cook like me. 

this cookbook does a good job with the basics and i think that anyone who needs a handy reference for basic items would benefit from this. the instructions are clear and easy to use and they are virtually fool proof. but while this one is good for new cooks, advanced cooks should look elsewhere

I love her cook books because I love to try new foods. I also love to cook its a hobby. I sometimes will cook two meals in one. My kids will want to eat smething different from me. So thats how I end up cooking two meals.
