My mother gave this to me as a wedding gift and although I have been cooking all my life I have found this to be extremely helpful with things I've always seen my mother make but never thought about how to actually make. It also has a lot of neat pictures about how to do things and includes details about menu planning, setting a table, menu ideas, and how to throw a dinner party. I love this so much I'm also sending a copy to all my friends who are getting married and can't wait to give it to my own daughters as wedding gifts. (my college roomates mother gave her one too and she is also in love with it)

I recieved this cookbook as a wedding gift and I just loved it. This book is for someone who is just starting out to learn how to cook. It has recipes for desserts, entrees,breads,smoothies, and even mixed drinks. It explains how to organize your kitchen and what every utensil can be used for. There is even a section of ideas for table centerpieces. This is a great book for yourself or a gift for someone.

This Bridal Edition of the well known Betty Crocker Cookbook was a big hit at the bridaly shower where I gave it as a gift. The book is beautiful - from the cover all the way through. Plenty of room for the newlyweds to make it their cookbook by adding notes, comments and important dates. The recipes were accompanied by lovely how-to photographs as well as finished product photos. Because it was unique it was passed around for all to see and everyone from the bride to the groom at home found it a delightful and personal gift.

My wife and I received the Betty Crocker Cookbook: Wedding Edition as a wedding gift 5 years ago. It was the previous edition to this one but this one is also fantastic! I was not an experienced cook when I got married but this book has taken me a loooong way. I still pull it out often to get recipe ideas and to double check converstions, and yields and equivalents. Its recipes are many and they vary in skill from basic to fairly in depth. It also includes basic cooking knowledge and skills. Highly recommend getting it as a gift for any soon to be married couple!

For my recent wedding, I ended up receiving several bridal cookbooks from people at showers. A couple of them were only so-so, so when I opened this one from an out-of-town aunt I thought, "Oh boy, here's another one." But I've been pleasantly surprised by this one. There's nothing real fancy to it, since I guess it's supposed to be aimed at brides who know next to nothing about cooking, but it's definately one of those comforting kind of cookbooks that reminds you of food you ate growing up with mom's cooking. I've tried a few so far out of here and the new hubby liked them all. The thing I've enjoyed the most about this book though is that it gives you all the nutritional information for each dish. That's a rarity to see unless you're buying a diet cookbook. That was the biggest plus! Again, there's nothing very challenging in this book, but to a bride (or groom) who hasn't done much beyond maybe scramble some eggs, that could be a very good thing. Now that I've received this and enjoy it, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it for another new bride.

Betty Crocker---what's more to say? This book has EVERYTHING you need from making lemonade to cooking the perfect ham. The recipes are very thorough and easy to make. It's great how I don't have to go searching all over town for a certain ingredient. Everything can be bought at the local supermarket. I also really like how it lists the fat and calorie content under each recipe so I can keep track of my calorie intake. Colorful pictures are included which add a real flare. All-in-all this is probably the best cookbook around.

I ordered this cookbook as a Christmas gift for my daughter who is planning her wedding for next year. She loved it and I have ordered a second copy to give as a wedding shower gift for a friend's daughter. The cookbook has great pictures and the calorie count by each recipe is a great addition to this book. I have a Betty Crocker cookbook from when I was first married 35 years ago. The recipes are ones that I still use today. I would highly recommend this book.

It was a perfect gift for a bridal shower. Book is very presentable as a gift and the contents in the book are beyond what I thought. Filled with great ideas for the newlyweds starting off. Including kitchen set up! And the good old "Betty Crocker Basics" are all still throughout the entire book. Including updated recipes and pictures galore. You won't be unhappy with this choice in cook books.

I bought this book for myself when I got married and lets just say, unless you have a kitchen made for top chefs chances are you are going to need to buy a lot of different ingredients for each meal. Everything turns out great when you do make it but just be prepared to get quite a few things at the grocery store.

This Bridal Edition is a great update of the "Big Red" Betty Crocker Cookbook - that I have had for more than 35 years! I don't care! I want it! It has lots and lots of recipes. Some are the memory-lane family hand-me-downs and others are very "today." They all have nutritional data, prep time and number of servings expected. The book is loaded with basic explanations, how-to-do-it and Learning with Betty. It is a great wedding shower or wedding gift! It's a great book to have in your own kitchen mo matter what your marital status! :-)
