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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Betty Crocker's Dinner for Two Cookbook, September 20, 2001

This review is from: Betty Crocker's Dinner for Two Cookbook (Paperback)

The book arrived in a timely manner and in good condition as described. I even got an e-mail confirming my purchase, which was very nice. However, the paperback I received was not a copy of the hardcover spiral-back edition I was expecting, although the title was the same. It was not the book I wanted and did not contain the same recipes or format. But this is not the seller's fault -- simply the optimistic hopes of the purchaser, searching for a First Edition of the 1958 edition of the General Mills, Inc., book by this title. Thanks for your efforts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wore my copy out!, December 8, 1999

My mom's 1958 edition was used faithfully by her, and passed on to me. It is by far the best cookbook I've read/used...and I read cookbooks frequently. If you can find this book, buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST, most helpful basic cook-book for everyday., January 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Betty Crocker's Dinner for Two Cookbook (Paperback)

With 100-plus cookbooks in three languages and thousands of clipped recipes, this is the book I use most. For simple pot roast, tomato aspic, and apple pie - the stuff of everyday meals - I search the other books - and find the easy recipe here. In the 1958 edition! With the pages falling out! And everything tastes good. You'll love it, too!
