Awesome!,
By Veggie Girl (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Betty Crocker Cooking Basics: Recipes and Tips to Cook with Confidence (Betty Crocker Books) (Hardcover-spiral)
I bought this book on-line (obviously) without ever actually getting to look through all the pages. I'm a pretty experience cook, but my brother--who got this book as a gift--isn't. He recently moved into his first apartment, and was calling me with questions like: 'How do I cook corn?' or 'How long can I keep food in my fridge before it goes bad?' I was more then happy to answer these questions, but thought that he'd really appreciate a book that had all these answers.
This book is wonderful! It has a chart in back that tells you how long you can keep food before it goes bad. It explains about what tools are useful to have around your kitchen. And it also has simple recipes (most have 5 ingredients or less). So, it's prefect for someone who just wants a foundation. My brother will never aspire to be a great chef, or enjoy cooking and baking like I do, but he really appreciates being able to make simple meals. And to know the basics of things. Great book!

Good Beginer Cookbook,
By DelGal's Book Reviews (Delaware, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Betty Crocker Cooking Basics: Recipes and Tips to Cook with Confidence (Betty Crocker Books) (Hardcover-spiral)
This book has plenty of information for the new cook (and even veteran ones who forget the info) such as Measuring Guide, prep techniques, suggestions for kitchen gadget essentials, extensive glossaries of ingredients and cooking terms, and information on food storing, temperatures and storage. Of course this book also contains good basic recipes - but nothing too fancy. Recommended for new cooks, doesn't have anything too exciting however, for the advanced cook.

I bought this cookbook for my son when he got his first apartment. It has been very helpful to him.
This cookbook is good for first timers. It shows you all the basics and is a great stepping stone for our first time chefs. I have a copy in my collection also. This one is a must have!
