Amazon.com Review:
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 colour 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

I was somewhat disappointed with this book. I have a pretty old Betty Crocker paperback cookbook from the 1970's that is well used and falling apart, I decided to replace it with a new book, this newer book leaves out lots of stuff in the older book, (EXAMPLE: a lamb rib roast) so I still can't retire that old paperback and buy more Scotch tape.

This cookbook was a Christmas gift for my grandaughter. She was thrilled to get it and said she would start using it right away.

My nephew wanted cookbooks from any famous people so that he could build up his library and learn to cook like them. I sent Betty Crocker's Cookbook cause this is the very first cookbook anyone should have. It's simple and easy to use and we've all grown up with and use Betty Crocker's recipes everyday. My newphew loves it too.

I received this as a present and I spilled coffee all over. I got really upset because the pages got stuck. I bought another one straight away. Can't live without it!

The name is pretty self-explanatory. It's a cookbook that not only has recipes, but also teaches and explains things that you need to know to cook.
