**This was my mom’s main cookbook. Her handwriting is inside all throughout. As she told it to me, this is how she learned to cook. ( )

Pretty good and informative. Some recipes don't hold out though. Maybe it's dem new ovens but for most of the pies the temperature and timing was way off so I had to follow Joy of Baking's instructions instead. ( )

For new and experienced cooks, I highly recommend Betty Crocker's basic cookbooks for one giant reason: the authors test the recipes in their kitchens, re-test, and then send them to home cooks. The result is easy to follow, foolproof recipes for a few people or double or triple them for a crowd. They make terrific gifts, too, and are available on the used book market, often in pristine condition, not like my original from 1980 that is falling apart and stained. ( )

Have had this one for over 30 years. My go to for when I am unsure of what to make for a meal. Soon passing it along to a grandchild starting out. ( )

My first cook book, purchased for a quarter at a garage sale while moving into my first apartment. I still have my copy, and use it. The standard basic cooking instruction manual necessary in any kitchen, much like a good frying pan or paring knife.

I would have to say that this has been one of the best investments of my adult life, considering the original price, amount of useful and practical information and instruction, and years of service. Well, that and the fifty cent Revere Ware tea kettle I purchased around the same time frame and still using today.

Recommended for all first time householders and anyone who wants to learn how to cook. ( )
