AngiBowman says "Give Me Back My Mother's Edition! " about Betty Crocker Cookbook: Everything You Need to Know to Cook Today Books

I love to cook, but unfortunately my schedule prevents me from cooking as much as I would like. Of all the cookbooks in my arsonal in the defense against hungar, Betty Crocker has been there through it all. However, the 10th Edition makes me cringe and long for the book my mother used.

The Collection

As a cookbook, the recipes are strong. They have recipes for everything and step-by-step instructions. Sometimes I'll just spend a moment (that's really all the time I have) just reading the book and seeing where the brisket comes from the cow or where the bacon comes from the pig. Some of the recipes are a little dated, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just bad for those of us who want to rush through making dinner instead of taking hours!

The Loved

These recipes aren't untested. Some may not fit your taste (liver? Really?), but they all have been made time and time again. Some even include illustrations or pictures to help guide you! This really should be a staple in everyone's...

NCJune says "The Betty Crocker Cookbook-one book I can't be without." about Betty Crocker Cookbook: Everything You Need to Know to Cook Today Books

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.

nrg359 says "good guide to basics" about Betty Crocker Cookbook: Everything You Need to Know to Cook Today Books

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

corinne says "The Betty Crocker Bookbook is a lifetime experience" about Betty Crocker Cookbook: Everything You Need to Know to Cook Today Books

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 in Betty Crockers Cookbook. Throughout my lifetime Betty Crocker has always been in my kitchen, even as a little girl she was the trusted reference for my mother. Cooking with a Betty Crocker truly is a lifetime experience and always tells you everything you need to know!

I was given a version of this Better Homes & Garden cookbook 33 years ago for a wedding gift
Over the years it has been well used. The pages are stained but the book has held together pretty good. The recipes out of the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook are simple and easy enough for anyone to understand and the most important thing is it calls for ingredients that is in every kitchen. You don't have to run the grocery store to buy specialty ingredients. The recipes in the Better Home & Garden cookbook are delicious and the portion are exceptable with the break down of nutrition. I have given Better Homes & Garden cookbook as a wedding gift to many newlyweds.

ddwelsh says "Even grandma would approve" about Betty Crocker Cookbook: Everything You Need to Know to Cook Today Books

ddwelsh — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 03:05:47 GMT

The Betty Crocker Cookbook: Everything You Need to Know to Cook Today is an excellent recipe book for cooks and bakers with all levels of expertise. This recipe books contains recipes that are family friendly, romantic, and fun. I have found many recipes that my grandma uses from the old red and white plaid cookbook. I have used many of these recipes, for both simple dinners with my husband and more formal meals when entertaining friends and family. The roasted chicken recipe is wondrful, and the tips for how to make the perfect cake (and diagnose what you did wrong) is quite helpful.

I use this cookbook almost every week! It is permanently in my kitchen, and open.

The Betty Crocker Cook Book is my most favorite and trusted. Whenever I find a new recipe I always go to my Betty Crocker to compare the recipe. If there is much of a difference I revert to Betty Crocker. That cookbook has never failed me....

I grew up using my Mother's Betty Crocker cookbook, so this was one of the first cookbooks I bought when setting out on my own. I, of course, own the updated version! There are many great recipes in this book - for beginners and accomplished cooks alike. One of my favorite features is the fresh vegetable cooking chart. This chart provides a list of exactly how long to cook each vegetable, whether on the stove or microwave, as well as how to prepare the vegetable for cooking. This cookbook is a wonderful addition to any kitchen!...
