Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Betty Crocker's full-length cookbooks, updated every few years to reflect changes in cooking methods, food preferences, and health concerns, are a mainstay in many home kitchens. That's because Betty can be trusted: her recipes turn out exactly like they're supposed to, they have easy-to-follow instructions, and they never ask for uncommon ingredients or fussy prep work. But most of all, Betty Crocker is a staple on the bookshelf because her recipes are for foods that regular people will actually cook and eat at home--some might even call them comfort foods.

The smaller, specialized Betty Crocker books such as Quick Dinners in 30 Minutes or Less are as reliable as her regular editions. In fact, they are often distillations of the bigger books. With about 100 main-dish and meal-in-a-skillet recipes for four to six servings, Quick Dinners is a convenient resource for anyone who doesn't want to eat every meal out, but doesn't have much time for cooking or shopping either. Color photographs on nearly every double page give you a look at what to expect from your efforts. The recipes range from the basic--Double-Cheese Hamburger Skillet, Turkey Oven Sandwich--to more elegant choices such as Oriental Fish with Bok Choy and Eggs Florentine, all prepared in 30 minutes or less. --Brenda Pittsley --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
