In celebration, an updated and expanded ninth edition of this American classic reminds us once again of the value of good old-fashioned comfort food. The original Big Red Cookbook was immediately popular with a postwar audience seeking basic cooking advice and simple recipes that took advantage of several then-new convenience products. The ninth edition remains true to its roots, presenting exemplary instruction, savory mainstream dishes (that still make use of convenience foods and the products of parent company General Mills), and, most notably, standout chapters on baking and dessert specialties. New to this edition, which offers nearly 1,000 recipes, are grilling and vegetarian chapters; up-to-date nutrition information; additional color photos; and contemporary formulas for the likes of Brie with Caramelized Onions, Asiago Bread, and Tandoori Chicken with Chutney. Instruction was and is the book's strongest suit, and any cook--novice to professional--will benefit from its many how-to features. These include step-by-step directions with photos, tips for kitchen timesaving, and troubleshooting advice. The book also includes several comprehensive glossaries (those on cooking terms and ingredients are particularly good). Standouts among the vast recipe collection, more than 300 of which are designated fast or low fat, include old favorites such as Macaroni and Cheese, Old-Fashioned Baked Beans, and Lemon Chiffon Cake. A few newer ones, such as Sun-Dried Tomato and Olive Bread, also qualify. Published, as ever, in a loose-leaf binder, the book celebrates American culinary know-how, a broad-based tradition of good home cooking, exemplary baking, and the conviction that food and commerce can meld to help people cook easier and eat better.

I have used her recipes for years, Rating: - A real classicThere is a reason that Betty Crocker cookbooks have been around for more than 50 years now---they give a lot of great and simple recipes for the novice cook, college student moving "out of the dorm," newlywed or teens beginning to feel his or her way in the kitchen. There are many features that are especially useful, but probably the best is the set of recipes one can make in "20 minutes or less." All together there are 130 of these. The book also includes almost 200 "low-fat" recipes, ... Read More Rating:  - ok valueI guess my expectations are too high for what is described as in excellent condition. The cover was a bit folded, but the inside pages were in excellent condition. Although I would not feel comfortable giving this book as a gift, it was a good buy for my own use.
