I grew up with my Grandma teaching me to cook using her Betty Crocker Cookbook (1960's). She gave me my own brand new one for a wedding gift and I continued using it as a guide and for new ideas. The recipes were easy to follow & pictures looked absolutely delightful. My cookbook got lost many years ago & I missed the familiarity and ease of locating great recipes to prepare from Betty Crocker. Recently I decided while perusing through E-bay that I would like another Betty Crocker cookbook & so I ordered one. The shipping was very quick and the quality was excellent. The only improvement I could see made would be if they had made this edition of the cookbook as either a 3 ring binder, like Grandma's was, or as a spiral. The hardbound type of books tend to have the binding wear down, especially with as often as I will probably be opening my new Betty Crocker cookbook. A very wise investment for me at a very good price.Read full review
Betty Crocker’s cookbooks are always cook ready and user friendly. Betty's cookbooks have been around for more than 75 years....WOW! This one has more photos than any other and a big plus is that there are a lot of updated recipes, keeping with the nation's health trend and the new foods available. I was impressed with the over 1,000 recipes and as always, B.C.'s is the perfect all-purpose cookbook. I was given one many years ago as a wedding gift along with the Joy of Cooking. Best thing you can give a newlywed. I cherished them both more than any appliance I received! This new 10th anniversary edition also has a chapter on slow-cookers and 20 minutes meals. With all of us leading busier lives than Mrs. June Cleaver, this is a great help! Highly recommend!
We first noticed this product while visiting our son and daughter-in-law. They had received the same cookbook as a wedding gift. Our copy of the cookbook was 30 years old and well-worn. Searching on e-bay for the latest edition, we found one on auction for a remarkable savings. We were the winning bidders and have enjoyed using the new edition. The biggest improvement in this product is that it is now in ring binder form, making it easy to remove and use a single recipe. E-bay made it possible to obtain an excellent product at a great savings!
This is a welcome addition to my Betty Crocker collection. To me there just is no better cookbooks. It is in excellent condition. Will use it often. Recommend any Betty Crocker. East to follow directions. Good for the novice and the experienced cook.

This is by far one of the best cookbooks out there! In this new and updated version the recipes are simple and amazing! The book also includes substitutions (for example, how to "make" buttermilk out of ingredients that would be in your pantry), measurements, and fun chapters like grilling and 20 minute meal ideas. I will be using this cookbook as curriculum for my Basic and Advanced Home Economics classes. It is quite simply the one essential cookbook everyone should have in their home!
