Amazon.com Review
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

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy to use, basic cookbook.
I bought this cookbook recently after buying my sister a copy for Christmas. I found that I was using her cookbook more than several of my own. She is not quite as advanced as I am at cooking and so she was enjoying the simplicity of the recipes and ingredients. I was going to it for basic ideas which I could create and alter towards my tastes.This book was extremely easy to use and follow, with clear, decisive instructions. The ingredients needed in most of the recipes are very common as well. The print and picture ratio is good, so it's not overly stocked with words or graphics.Betty Crocker has always released good cookbooks. I have one from my parents that dates back to the 1970s that is still a wonderful book.I have only had one recipe that I have tried from this book that I have not liked, and that's probably because I realized too late what the flavor combinations would taste like. All the other recipes I have used (which is about 5 in the past month) have been splendid in result, especially the rice pudding.As I said before, this was very very easy to use and follow, with great graphs and information and would be very helpful to the beginning or amateur cook. For more experienced cooks, though simple, this would be a great basic cookbook to have around when one wants to make something intricate, but needs the basics first. For example, if you wanted to make a pesto alfredo sauce, you could start by reading about Betty Crocker's simple cream sauce and from there, improvise to your palette.This is recommended for everyone with an interest in cooking; big or small. It is beautifully published and has great recipes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook!
This is the perfect gift. Not only recipes, but tells you how to do simple things like make mashed potatoes, etc.
5.0 out of 5 stars Betty Crocker enters the 21st Century
Vegetarian recipes, Tandori chicken, Chai, tofu even!! Most of the recipes are from scratch using fresh ingredients, yes this is not your grandmother's Betty Crocker Cookbook. It will be hard to find a recipe that calls for a can of cram of mushroom soup! Heck, one can even try his or her hand at making a variety of pastas from scratch! That said, fear not all the favorites are here too, meatloaf, muffins, breads, mac and cheese, tuna casserole... all in the straight forward comfort food versions we cherish and love. That is what I love about Betty Crocker, all the food is good, but not a hint of being pretentious, scaring the cook with hard to find ingredients.My family always seemed to have a Betty Crocker cookbook given to them as a rite of passage into adulthood, I bestowed the honor upon my sister this year for Christmas. I am quite impressed with the latest edition. There is a new section on grilling and also for vegetarians.The recipe layout is very easy to read, pictures showing how scarmbled eggs, rice, etc should look as well as what they shouldn't look like (with an explanation of what the cook did wrong) The pages are very colorful with plenty of hints and inspiring photos. The writing "voice" is very patient, and understands the fact that the reader may not know how to even boil water. It's OK here, the novice cook will not be spoken down to. For the more experienced cook who may be bored to tears, the layout is such that he or she çan bypass those sections.It shouldn't be a surprise that these books stay with the owner forever and even as one gets better at cooking, this is the book that one turns to over and over. I have owned mine for more than 10 years and still use it on a regular basis. Many great culinary memories await within the pages of this "Rite of Passage" book!
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Favorite Cookbook
This is an actual cookbook with lists of ingredients. Not open a can or open a box pf prefab ingredients, but actual ingredients.I’ve used this cookbook for over 25 years. Majority of my family of eight’s favorite recipes come from this book. I bought this copy for my daughter to be able to continue to make these recipes for her family.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook
I had this cookbook and it got destroyed by my family. I ordered another. I'm very happy with the product. However, I don't believe the listing said used but i was still sent a used book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful and Informative book
I like the simple step by step guide of making the recipe. Most of the recipes are great. What I don’t like is that not all recipes have a picture. I want to have an idea of what the dish would look like in the end. But it’s still great specially for beginning cooks. The spiral binding is a plus. It is a beautiful book.
1.0 out of 5 stars Feeling deceived
When I pulled the page up to view this item, it was what I was looking for, right down to the ISBN number. However, when I received it in the mail -- it was an older edition, not the ninth edition with the ISBN # I was led to believe I was purchasing (as shown on the web page). I felt completely ripped off, because this book (used) did not offer free shipping, and for me to pay the shipping return fee would have cost more than the used book's purchase price. Remember the old saying, "if it's too good to be true, than it probably isn't true"? Well, buyers beware -- the picture you are seeing, may not be what you receive in the package. My invoice did not even list the ISBN # for the book. I may buy from Bolo, but not from the vendor that handled this transaction. Thanks for a cookbook that is not useful for my daughter's cooking class. NOT!
I love the recipes so much and use the book too ...
This is the second time buying this book. I love the recipes so much and use the book too often that I wrecked it. Thanks that I can find this book again in Bolo.
I love Betty Crocker.
Yes. I did have an older version which was given to me by my American daughter in law. I love Betty Crocker.
One of the best recipe books.
Great book. Easy to understand simple recipes. Will use it often. Received befitted due date. Good value for money.

Damaged and dirty
This was supposed to be new. The covers were bent/ creased and the inside had what looked like a greasy finger print. The inside of back cover/ pages had something squished in them (food or bugs?). See attached photos. This was meant to be a Christmas gift but it is so dirty I will need to buy something else.
