Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The Betty Crocker answer to the new Food Guide Pyramid and current nutritional concerns is hundreds of simple recipes that are generally low in fat, sodium, cholesterol, and calories and high in fiber. The authors' approach is a sensible one, however, and flavor and appeal have been balanced against the demands of these health criteria. Recipes are surprisingly varied, and, other than some of the desserts, few rely on "artificial" ingredients or convenience foods. Recommended for most collections (but note that the book is packaged as a five-ring binder).

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Southwest Style Shrimp is one of my favorites., February 13, 2011
I bought this cookbook in 1997 and thought I would write about one of the recipes that's still a favorite in my "rotation". I've adapted it a bit from the recipe on page 195. I make a marinade using juice of 2 limes, coriander, cumin, etc., with which I marinate some shrimp for an hour or so. In cold-pressed peanut oil in my large non-stick saute pan, I saute a chopped red onion, add some chopped red and orange peppers along with some minced garlic. After they are all tender, the shrimp and its marinade go in, plus a little chicken or vegetable broth, then simmer over low heat. Add some chopped cilantro and two cut-up avocados. Serve over brown rice. My spouse and I both love it! And it's healthy too! I'm making it today; I just put the shrimp in the fridge to marinate.

This review is from: Betty Crocker's New Choices Cookbook: More Than 500 Great-Tasting Easy Recipes for Eating Right (Hardcover)
It seemed a little outdated. The cooking styles were just not what I was looking for.
