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.

I love a cookbook with pictures. This one not only gives you pictures but lots of money saving, delicious meals. My favorite is the Chicken Pot Pie recipe. We substituted frozen veggies without peas and used chicken of mushroom soup with some garlic. It was AMAZING. A friend of mine used fresh vegetables and loved it as well. It goes a long way and you can do a double recipe but one recipe's worth of the topping to save carbs. A great purchase!

I would recommend this to anyone.

I have not made much out of this cookbook yet. Too hot to cook! The pictures are great, and the ingredient lists are short and things that are easy to find. I'm looking forward to using it more in the Fall.
