Watch out Rachel Ray, Better Homes and Gardens is still here and better than ever.  This book really does have everything in it.  This book has always been known for it's great variety of food categories with delicious recipes.

Let's go over what most of the books all have.  The first few sections I call the Helpful Sections because they have lots of good general cooking information.  There's the equivalent page that shows size/amount of whole food and how much it equals to when cut.  For example - one pound of blueberries equals three cups, or one medium mango equals one cup sliced mangoes....

This is the one cookbook I believe no home should be without.  In fact, it's the only cookbook I've found that I thought was worth buying.  It's easy to use, and you can actually learn to cook by reading it!  I find it easy to make substitutions in their recipes, since they offer suggestions (such as substituting milk for buttermilk in pancakes, oatmeal for flour in muffins, etc.) that can help make certain foods healthier or better tasting.  Easy to follow recipes, and so many classic dishes that I remember from my childhood (this is the same cookbook my mother cooked from!).

This is the tried and true cook book that has been around for decades. Chances are your mother had this very cook book in her kitchen.  I have fond memories of the red plaid cover and many of the pages had come loose from the bindings or had food stains on them.

I was so excited to add this book to my collection when I married and got my own house.  If you only have one cook book, this should be it. It has all those childhood recipes you remember as well as many helpful tips to teach you how to cook.

It has a measuring conversion chart, a microwave hints chart, an emergency substitutions chart...

You just can't go wrong with this classic. Better Homes and Gardens cookbook is the all-time best cookbook. It is a great gift to give to a young lady just starting out in life or anyone who likes to cook or wants to support breast cancer research. This book is a must-have in any american kitchen.

I love to cook, especially during the Christmas holidays.  My favorite is cookies. I have lots of cookbooks that pertain to that.  What I do is read them all, just like a library book, then I start from scratch, with thoughts of sugar plums dancing in my head.  I will combine different ingredients from an assortment of receipes, then I add a cup of Amish yeast bread dough which I have modified.  I come up with some wonderful tasting cookies that always stay soft for the holidays.  My friends and relatives love to receive them as Christmas gifts. 

My real passion is in the kitchen.  My...

I am a family recipe cook that does not use specific measurements.  However, in order to expand on my knowledge i got the limited edition COOK BOOK because it was so organized and give you all the measurements you need.  The best part is the sections they have for each food group and cooking tips and tricks.  Some of the recipes are simple and general and not really euthentic.  But this book makes up for it by giving you general tips that mom may have forgotten to mention.  Just look at the section under Beef and you will find how to cook certain cuts and what section of the animal correspondes... review »

This cookbook has so many options and choices inside.  There is a variety of quick meals and really great tips for substitutions and measurements.  It is really great because they separate it into appetizer, soup, entree etc sections which are really helpful when you don't want to spend forever looking up what you want to cook.  I also love the pink color and the fact that some of the proceeds are donated to breast cancer research.  Way to go betty crocker.

I received this as a gift and I have used it quite a bit. The recipes are healthy and easy to follow. This book also teaches quite a bit about cooking, meats, different veggies, and are in color. I would recommend this to friends. You will not go wrong by purchasing this cookbook!

No home should be with out this cookbook.  It has so many different options and offers many different variations for different recipes;  I can't believe how many classic and not so classic recipes it offers.  There is something for even the fussiest eaters!
