4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book for 2 person household & new cooks, January 29, 2004

By	Trace oConnor "Traceroo" (Plano, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This cookbook assumes you're cooking for 2 people, not a whole family, which is a rare and helpful treat. As with most Betty Crockers, it starts with the basics, and does not assume the cook knows esoteric cooking terms, basic cooking times, etc. Recipes are easy, clear, involve basic ingredients, and most have been real hits in my household. It's a marvelous choice for a beginning cook (male or female), especially someone who'll be cooking only for 1 or 2 people.

The downside is that Betty Crocker recipes can be on the bland side. Many dishes in here are really basic. I've pencilled in my personal adjustments, spicing things up here and there.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful cook book, January 10, 2002

By	"ivy212" (Malaysia) - See all my reviews

I got this book as an engagement gift a couple months ago, I've already tried several of the recipes. It has not only many great recipes, it also has really helpful tips. I've made the carrot cake and apple cake several times already and brought it to work. Everyone loves it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive - Easy to Follow, April 18, 2001

By	"carsolish" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

I just bought this book a couple of weeks ago and have to say that it is the best cooking book I have ever seen so far. Me and my wife are cooking fanatics who like to spend time trying out new recipes all the time. Great recipes, easy to follow instructions and a lot of useful information. I strongly recommend it!
