Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com:
Betty Crocker’s Cookbook is 50! In celebration, an updated and expanded ninth edition of this American classic reminds us once again of the value of good old-fashioned comfort food. The original Big Red Cookbook was immediately popular with a postwar audience seeking basic cooking advice and simple recipes that took advantage of several then-new convenience products. The ninth edition remains true to its roots, presenting exemplary instruction, savory mainstream dishes (that still make use of convenience foods and the products of parent company General Mills), and, most notably, standout chapters on baking and dessert specialties. New to this edition, which offers nearly 1,000 recipes, are grilling and vegetarian chapters; up-to-date nutrition information; additional color photos; and contemporary formulas for the likes of Brie with Caramelized Onions, Asiago Bread, and Tandoori Chicken with Chutney.

Instruction was and is the book’s strongest suit, and any cook–novice to professional–will benefit from its many how-to features. These include step-by-step directions with photos, tips for kitchen timesaving, and troubleshooting advice. The book also includes several comprehensive glossaries (those on cooking terms and ingredients are particularly good). Standouts among the vast recipe collection, more than 300 of which are designated fast or low fat, include old favorites such as Macaroni and Cheese, Old-Fashioned Baked Beans, and Lemon Chiffon Cake. A few newer ones, such as Sun-Dried Tomato and Olive Bread, also qualify. Published, as ever, in a loose-leaf binder, the book celebrates American culinary know-how, a broad-based tradition of good home cooking, exemplary baking, and the conviction that food and commerce can meld to help people cook easier and eat better. Happy birthday indeed! –Arthur Boehm

A must for your kitchen by Cher Reymaniak
It’s the old stand-by and must-have for the kitchen cook! No matter what type of meal I want to prepare, this has been my kitchen bible. I have never had a bad experience with any of the recipes. This even gives you tips on preparation, baking, pans, sizes, and much more. Sometimes not thinking a very basic recipe will not be available…it is there! It never leaves my kitchen.

excellent by Nanc
You can never be wrong when choosing a Betty Crocker cookbook for yourself, for daughter or son, for a friend. Simply the best.

The Best by Joyce McCarty
I have used this book forever. After being asked numerous times for recipes by my Daughter, I purchase this for her. She loves it. I consider it THE essential cook book.

I’ll stick with my dog eared old Betty Crocker cookbook… by Andrea L. Duncan
I was disappointed with the scant main dish recipes in this book, not only that, they were kind of ‘out there’, not what I’d expect from Betty. Granted the ring binder is convenient, I just thought it could have covered a lot more territory. Might be good for a new cook but overall I prefer my old, dog eared copy of the original my Mom gave me when I moved out years ago… I vote pass.
