Always Dependable Betty Crocker

I ordered this book because I grew up using a Betty Crocker Cookbook. A few things were left out of the newer book that I miss, but for this most part, it has the basics I need. I can depend on the easy instructions and tasty results. A good cookbook for beginners and for forgetful people like me. I have a number of cookbooks, but this book probably gets more use than all the rest combined.

more than 10 years later and still in heavy use!!!

I bouth this one when I first moved out of the house, and my Mom confiscated her 1962 edition. Of all the cookbooks I have bought since then, this one gets used at least weekly!!! AT one point I wanted my bookshelf to look "cooler" so I bought Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything." Betty Crocker still wins hands down in quality and variety of recipes (not to mention his book fell apart after a few uses. Buy this edition or any of the newer editions that followed, and you will never go wrong! And as corny as it sounds, the notebook style is a great idea, I have stuffed mine full of all kinds of recipes, it is like the book that continues to grow with me.

The book that launched an obsession for me

This was my first cookbook (the 1986 edition). It was my prize for winning my 12th grade home-ec cooking contest. This is such a good, basic cookbook. Nearly every recipe I've tried from it has been successful and delicious. Even now, some 13 years later, I still turn to this cookbook regularly. It sparked an interest in cookbooks in me which grows each year. I read cookbooks like novels, and my collection is constantly expanding. Thanks in large to Mrs. Bucher and her gift of the Betty Crocker Cookbook.
