3.0 out of 5 stars Disapponting & Misleading Purchase, July 5, 2009

For those people out there who think the whole cookbook is full of blue ribbon winning recipes like I did, there is only one tiny section of these, with a standard cookbook in the following sections, probably just like the one you already have. If I had known this from the start, I would not have bought this. It is a very good overall cookbook, so don't get me wrong, but how many of the same cookbooks does one cook need? I feel the title is misleading and therefore it was a disappointing purchase. The breast cancer pink editions do the same thing, with putting one new section in an otherwise duplicate cookbook, but you don't mind as much since the money goes for a good cause. Unless you don't have any of these cookbooks already, don't buy this one.

I learned to all there was to know about cooking and serving a meal from "BETTER HOMES ANE GARDENS COOKBOOK" when I was a bride 55 years ago, I have bought this book for my children and grandchildren through the years. I recommended it highly.

this is a replacement for the origional that i wore out!my mom gave one to me on my wedding shower 42 year ago! wow doesn't seem that long ago!anyhow it is a good basic easy to follow cook book.and has served me well through the years . I also gave one to each of my daughters !mine did not have award winnimg recipes in it. so this is a bonus ! but there are a lot of recipes that became family favorites throuout the years. I highly recomend this cookbook!
