More About the Author

Since 1921, the Betty Crocker name has symbolized the General Mills continuing tradition of service to consumers. Although Betty was never a real person, her name and identity have become synonymous with helpfulness, trustworthiness and quality.

Betty Crocker has survived the decades by providing consumers with food information and food products that are contemporary without being faddish. The first hardcover cookbook, Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook was published in 1950 and quickly became a national best seller. Since then, more than 250 Betty Crocker cookbooks have been published.

My mom bought this for me as one of my wedding shower gifts. I've used her mother's Betty Crocker cookbook from the 50/60's for years. This one has great pictures to show every type of vegitable, pasta, and cut of meat you can imagine. This edition has all the best recipies from the old book with calorie/carb/fat counts and a whole bunch of bonus features. If you're just learning to cook and want something that explains why certain things work together in recipies so you can have the skills to pull things together on your own, this is the book for you.

I mainly utilize the internet for my recipes, but every now and then when I know that my recipe is simple and just can't remember, "Was that baking soda or baking powder that I need?" I like being able to just flip it open. I do like the nice ideas for the holidays. I also LOVE that it is available in a 3-ring binder. My last copy was a softback and I had a rubberband holding the cover and pages in, for years. So, I suppose, there is no surprise here. I think it would be a great First cook book.
