Editorial 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 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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good for beginners & busy people
My daughter's bound edition of this book was one of her favorites, but it was falling apart from use. I replaced it with this ring-bound version. She is very pleased. It lays flat for use. This is a good, basic, no-frills approach to beginning and intermediate cooking skills. Other reviews have complained about the use of prepared mixes and/or shortcuts. The "food snobs", who have the time to do everything from scratch, do not appreciate these time-savers for working people and busy moms (my ... Read More
Rating:  - must have for a novice and beyond
This is a wonderful tool! It is a must have for a novice and beyond. The ring binding is scary for potential wear problems.
Rating: - Awesome Betty Crocker Cookbook
This is my favorite new cookbook!!! I live in rural America and we just can't get all the cool products found in the city. This a great resource as a place to start when making up recipes, as well as giving techniques to change other recipes. Love it!! Kris

I purchased this book for my granddaughter as a wedding gift. I began my marriage many years ago with a Betty Crocker Cookbook; there was no better cookbook to receive. The recipes are easy to follow and turn out great. I advise every bride to begin her marriage with a Betty Crocker Cookbook.
Rating: - Perfect Gift for Newly Weds
This cookbook is the perfect gift for the newly married couple or anyone looking for a good all round cookbook. It covers ALL the basics as well as several recipes that have become my all time favorites since I got my copy in the 50's! Revisions with sign of the times infomation has kept it up-to-date as well.
