I grew up learning how to cook using Mom's Betty Crocker cookbook. This book is just like Mom's, with all the basic recipes. Plus many more for today's busy cook. Bread machine recipes, vegetarian, etc. I bought it to get the basic recipes I have to call Mom for. But it has so much more! It has everything! This is the only cookbook I plan to buy!

Finally what I've been looking for in a cook book--tasty, nutritious, NORMAL food. No esoteric ingredients, no 27-step prep, no high-stress, split-second timing. This is cooking I can live with and cooking that delights my guests. Food snobs will greet the book with a big yawn, but the majority of American households will have enhanced enjoyment of both cooking and eating as a result of this thoughtful and down-to-earth book.

You will be pleasantly surprised by this book. This book has a lot of information that goes along with the recipes. You will be amazed at all of the supplimental information that goes into this book. The way to buy fresh vegetables, how to look for good cuts of meat, ways to stretch meat, and a host of ideas with each recipe. The book is clearly written, and it makes it very easy to read. There are pictures for many recipes as well, this pictures aren't of just the finished product either. I think you will find this book covers the basics, and goes well beyond that. If you know someone that is just starting out, or perhaps learning to cook this would be a great choice for them.

If you only have one cookbook in your kitchen, this is the one it should be! All of the basic recipes you need & a whole lot more. I've had to replace mine since the pages were falling out from over-use. When my daughter moved out to go to university, this was what she requested for Christmas. This is also my standard wedding shower gift & it's always well-received.

I purchased this book to replace the one I've lived by for many many years. It's wonderful to have a replacement in such good condition, it's very near to brand-new. All I had to do was transfer"neat" notes and happily throw out the old one. Thanks!

I gave both my sons a book for Christmas & they are really enjoying the book. They are finally learning to cook on their own.

I use this book all the time, I am a seasoned home cook and I refer to this book for classic recipes as well as refreshing my memory on the basics. It has great basic info for starting cooks and I've given it as a gift many times.

I found this cookbook to be useful and practical as well. Give it a try!

I have used Betty Crocker's Cookbook for over 28 years and finally it just wore out! I've purchased this one and it's as good as the old one with updated recipes and techniques.

This is not a gourmet cookbook, although there are recipes in it that could qualify. Instead, this is a basic, "how-to" and "chow-down" cookbook that I recommend to everyone - beginner and old-hand cook alike!

This is the foundation cookbook for every American home. As a male, I have used my Betty Crocker cookbook for everything from pancakes to cookies to turkey dinners. This is a survival guide that includes so many recipes that are both practical and represent a broad spectrum of basic American foods that you will find yourself falling back upon this book again and again. There's nothing fancy here,and ethnic foods are somewhat limitied. But if you want a decent meatloaf or cake recipe, you can find it here.

I plan to buy another copy of this book to give to my son when he moves out on his own (I think he plans to do that someday).
