Description
It's the book that started it all, the well-loved edition that first
bought Betty Crocker cookbooks into American homes and hearts. Published
in 1950, this ground-breaking title made cooking easy, it made cooking
appealing, and best of all, it made cooking fun. Packed full of
practical tips, useful hints, and lavish color photography, this was the
book that shaped cooking for generations, the book that people
remember. Every recipe you -- or your mother -- ever wanted is here,
from pigs in blankets, to Emergency Steak to Chicken Tomato Aspic. Enjoy
the clever ideas throughout -- twelve months of birthday cake ideas,
showing how to decorate a cake to match each month's gem stone, pointers
to make setting up a kitchen easy, or hints to make housework more
pleasant. Feel a part of history when making Home Front Macaroni,
developed during WW II rationing to stretch meat. Get into the spirit of
fun with a Betty Crocker "Cookie Shine" or cookie baking party. People
who grew up with this book will want it for the memories; those who are
new to the book will want it for its charm and its intelligent approach
to cooking. It's a perfect keepsake and a great gift.
