I've been using Betty Crocker cookbooks since I got one as a shower gift before I got married 32 years ago, and I've never been disappointed with a single recipe. This cookbook is no exception. The recipes are clearly written, using ingredients that are readily available or already in a well-stocked kitchen. Great for beginners or experienced cooks alike.

Betty Crocker cookbooks never fail to please and this one is a real winner! I have already tried two recipes from the book and found them both easy and tasty. One was Pepper Jack Bread and the other was Easy Roll Buttermilk Pie Dough. The former had a wonderful texture and flavor the latter was tender and flaky. There are may many other recipes I want to try from this book during my Sunday afternoon baking sessions. If you love to bake, and like classic recipes as well as new ones,then this book is for you!

Being a "Betty-phile"--a Betty Crocker fan from 'way back--I may be prejudiced, but I think BETTY CROCKER BAKING FOR TODAY is a must-have for any kitchen where any amount of baking is done. It's not only highly usable, with numerous classic recipes, but a BEAUTIFUL publication. Incidentally, regarding "Mary's Chocolate Chip Cookies" (p. 92) by Mary Bartz, "former director of the [Betty Crocker] kitchens and cookie expert," I happen to have it directly from Mary that she bakes these cookies at 350 rather than the 375 indicated.

The recipes in this book are stellar; it complements the basic Betty Crocker book very well. All are clearly written and so far I've had great success. Highly recommended. The recipe book is fun to read too.

The only "tiny" complaint I have is that not all the recipes are accompanied by photos, which is what I guess we are spoiled and used to when we have a photo cookbook.

This is a great book. Mine is falling apart, That is how much I use it.

I received this book a few weeks ago and have made several things out of it. My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed everything out of it. My husband's favorite is the banana bread! Easy and simple recipes. Some do require time to let dough rise, but it's worth it! Love it.

This book arrived on time and was in excellent condition.
