The other Betty Crocker cookbook that dominated my early cooking. Also fantastic, this cookbook has a number of excellent recipes I adore and some that simply amuse me. The first list contains pancakes, waffles, any of the cakes, and meatloaf. The second contains any sort of jello or fruit mold and fondue. Food trends are kind of amazing.

A much more recent update of [b:Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook|3896|Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook (Betty Crocker)|Betty Crocker|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165367397s/3896.jpg|7620], this was a gift from my grandmother when I moved into my first apartment. It has a number of recipes for artisanal breads that are fantastic. Overall, I've enjoyed most of the things I've made from it, but it does not quite hold up to its predecessors in my opinion.

In my quest to find a healthy, low calorie cookbook for a girlfriend, I came across this one.
It is filled with simple, easy meals and the calories for each meal are already calculated and on the page with the recipe.

This was my go to book when I was first learning to cook. It has all the basics: how to bake an apple pie and other basic recipes, how to boil corn on the cob - bake a potato - steam vegetables, how to cook certain cuts of meat and how to use measuring cups. Although it might not contain gourmet recipes - it is a good first cookbook that will be used often. And now after years of cooking I still go to it.

in my early teen years, i loved loved loved betty crocker's ground beef spaghetti recipe.
then i turned vegetarian. additionally, these days i like food to arrive in my kitchen closer to its original form than, say, shortening or garlic salt. so betty crocker and i have gone our separate ways, but i'm still fond of the dear old gal.

I am a cookbook addict. I love them so much and with all the cookbooks I own. (Which is a lot) this shares the spot for number one. I love the pictures, the recipes, the directions, everything. If you are a beginner I promise this book will give you the confidence you need to cook.

My Mom bought me my very own copy :) When she came over once, she saw mine right next to my roommate's VERY brand new one (new design, too) and groaned, wondering if she'd gotten me two by accident. (Something very like her). Thankfully, no.
This is a GREAT book for BASICS. I've found some stand-bys as well as some tasty options. Wish I DID have a newer version (they should have considered a filler pack to insert in your old one), some of the recipes could use an update.
